THE RECENT HISTORY OF HOME RuN BASEBALLS The summer of 1998 marked the rebirth of America's pastime, Major League Baseball, following several years of stunted growth caused by 1994's player strike. The resurgence is attributed in large part to the general public's fascination with the summer-long chase of Roger Maris's single-season record of sixty-one home runs. The St. Louis Cardinals' Mark McGwire and his Popeye-esque forearms led the charge, blasting twenty-seven home runs before the end of May, putting him on pace to hit more than eighty home runs by season's end.' In June, the Chicago Cubs' "Slammin"' Sammy Sosa smashed twenty home runs to set the all-time single-month home run record and position himself just four home runs behind McGwire, thirty-seven to thirty-three, beginning the season-long race to sixty-one.2 On August 10, Sosa finally caught McGwire, hitting his forty-fifth and forty-sixth home runs.

  • The Uniqueness of Baseball As an American Sport - a Psycho-Biblical Analysis*
    International Journal of Science Culture and Sport December 2016 : 4(4) ISSN : 2148-1148 Doi : 10.14486/IntJSCS589 Field : Sport Sociology Type : Review Article Recieved: 30.08.2016 –Accepted: 24.10.2016 The Pastime Past Time: The Uniqueness of Baseball as an American Sport - A Psycho-Biblical Analysis* Paul CANTZ¹, Daniel L. KAPLAN², Kalman J. KAPLAN³ ¹PsyD, ABPP, University - Chicago, Department of Psychology; Chicago, USA ²PhD, Independent Practice, USA ³ University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine Department of Psychiatry; Chicago,USA Email: [email protected] Abstract The essence of what makes baseball unique amongst sporting competitions can be difficult to articulate. In this paper we suggest that what links baseball and American culture is a shared reliance, often implicit, on a biblical as opposed to a more Graeco-European way of appreciating life. Devoid of a cross-cultural perspective, however, baseball’s biblical substrate is initially difficult to discern, and therefore it is instructive to provide contrast by comparing the modern game of baseball to Ancient Greek sports and motifs. This might seem like a curious comparison except for the fact that the Ancient Greeks are credited with inaugurating the very enterprise of organized athletic competition through the Olympic games, and in so doing establishing a distinctly Graeco-Roman undercurrent that permeates most other modern sports, with notable exception, we argue, to the most Hebraic of sports: Baseball. Keywords: Baseball, Bible, American Culture, Greek Mythology * A version of this paper was first presented at the 25th Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture. Copyright©IntJSCS (www.iscsjournal.com) - 367 Cantz et al, The Pastime Past Time: The Uniqueness of… IntJSCS, 2016; 4(4):367-380 Introduction Although the majority of baseball fans may be intimately familiar with the rules of America’s favorite pastime, the essence of what makes baseball unique – what qualitatively distinguishes it from every other major athletic competition – can be difficult to articulate.

Welcome to the eleventh issue of The Westcliff Week. As the Government gradually reduces its restrictions on staying at home, I hope that pupils and families have been able to enjoy the increased freedom, albeit whilst still maintaining requirements in relation to social distancing.

Despite the ongoing challenges presented by living with the coronavirus, our pupils continue to impress us with their talent and thoughtfulness. There are many examples which cross my desk each week and on this occasion I wish to offer my thanks and Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulations to Joseph Hankey and Samin Afshari. thank all my colleagues who have been involved in Both boys have demonstrated wonderful musical preparing for the return of our pupils.
