    Eagle River, WI Founded 1928 Megaphone 2015 Annual Dear Megaphone Readers, The summer of 2015 has come to a close at the Friendly Confines and what a great one it was. It has been an action-packed journey for all involved at Camp Menominee this year. There have been so many memorable events this summer including the camp favorite British vs American, the returning event Sun & Wind, and last but not least the historic Green & White. We cannot forget our double victory over Camp Timberlane and our honorable performance in the defeat to Kawaga. We have represented Menominee pleasantly off camp during trips, socials and on Town Day. It has been a pleasure documenting the adventure, day by day, in the Megaphone. Every day is different at camp, this makes writing about it so interesting. I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to it, from the campers, to the counselors and support staff. I have relished the experience of writing about the boys while learning new sports and activities. I look forward to taking what I have learnt back to England. I hope you enjoy reading through the annual and it brings back many Menominee memories from this summer. The details of every person who attended camp this year are at the end of the annual so please stay in touch as much as possible. Many thanks, Dale Rawlings - 2015 Megaphone Editor Attitude Determination Heart Leadership Spirit Sportsmanship Attitude Determination Heart Leadership Spirit Sportsmanship Eagle River, WI Founded 1928 MEGAPHONE The Opening Edition Monday, 22nd June 2015 Welcome!

  • Minor League Presidents
    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard. I have no copyright on anything here, it's all public information, but it's never all been in one place before, in this layout. Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball. The group simplified the name to “Minor League Baseball” in 1999. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Patrick Powers, 1901 – 1909 Michael Sexton, 1910 – 1932

  • The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, April 11, 2018 * the Boston Globe
    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, April 11, 2018 * The Boston Globe Red Sox keep ‘riding the wave’ in ninth straight victory Peter Abraham The Red Sox had the best record in spring training, winning 14 of their last 15 games. But it didn’t matter because it was spring training. Then they got off to the best start in team history, winning eight of their first nine games. But it didn’t matter because it came against the penny-pinching Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins. Now does it matter? A 14-1 victory against the Yankees on Tuesday night certainly suggests there is more going on at Fenway Park than simply fortuitous scheduling. Mookie Betts had four hits, including a grand slam, as the Sox rolled to their ninth consecutive victory before a crowd of 32,357 at Fenway Park. At 9-1, the Sox have the best record in the American League under new manager Alex Cora. The first three hitters in the order — Betts, Andrew Benintendi, and Hanley Ramirez — were 8 of 9 with eight runs scored, nine RBIs, five extra-base hits, and four walks. “It’s definitely super fun to be involved in any win. I just do what I can,” said Betts, who is hitting .432 with a 1.263 OPS. Betts scored five runs, a career high. He is only the seventh player in history to score five or more runs against the Yankees, the first since Luis Castillo of the Mets in 2008. The 14 runs were the most for the Sox against the Yankees since a 14-1 victory on Aug.
