  • The Norman J. Hubner Athletic Hall of Fame
    THE NORMAN J. HUBNER ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME Ron “Doc” Reed was one of the finest three-sport athletes ever produced at LaPorte High School. Standing 6-6, he made a great target as a football end, was an excellent scorer and rebounder in basketball and a power pitcher in baseball. After graduating from LPHS in 1961, he attended the University of Notre Dame to play basketball and baseball and had a particularly outstanding career on the hardwood. In 1965 Reed signed a contract with the Milwaukee Braves - who later moved to Atlanta, Ga. - as a free agent and had a brief minor league career. From 1965-67 he also filled the key sixth-man role for the Detroit Pistons and could have had a successful NBA career had he not chosen to concentrate on baseball. He made his debut for the Braves on Sept. 26, 1966. In 1968 he made the National League All-Star team and in 1969 he had his best-ever record (18-10), helping Atlanta win its first division title. On April 8, 1974 he was the winning pitcher as Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s record with his 715th career home run. He spent part of 1975 with the St. Louis Cardinals. He then had eight very successful years as a relief pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies. A fierce competitor, he had 17 saves and a brilliant 2.23 ERA in 1978. One year later he led the majors with 13 wins in relief. He was a key member of the Phillies’ 1980 World Series champions and the 1983 World Series runner-up.

The New York Yankees, Philadelphia/Oakland Athletics, and St. Louis Cardinals have won many. The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and San Francisco Giants endured decades-long dry spells before they finally won the orldW Series. Even expansion teams like the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals, and Florida Marlins have won multiple championships. Other expansion teams like the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers have been to the Fall Classic multiple times, although they did not win. Then we have the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have not been to a World Series since 1945, and have not won one since 1908.

  • 2015 National Sports and Entertainment History Bee Final Round
    2015 National Sports and Entertainment History Bee Final Round 1. The first and last name of one developer of this game was combined to title an ineffectual machine gun, the Klobb. The single player-only watch laser is used by the protagonist to escape a train, and at another point in this game, you meet Valentin in a statue garden. This game’s multiplayer included modes like “slappers only” and “the living daylights.” An early console first-person-shooter, for the point, name this Nintendo 64 game starring Pierce Brosnan and named for the first Bond movie he starred in. ANSWER: 007 Goldeneye 2. This man once received a number that Randy Johnson used to wear, so he sent The Big Unit a message promising that he would not let him down. In 2001, he became the first player since Jackie Robinson to finish first in the league in steals and batting average. This player broke a record once held by George Sisler, finishing with 262 of one statistic in a year. This man has a chance to break Pete Rose’s record for hits as a professional baseball player, but not the Major League record for hits that Rose has. For the point, name this longtime outfielder for the Seattle Mariners, who was traded to the New York Yankees in 2012. ANSWER: Ichiro Suzuki (accept “Suzuki”) 3. In her role as Gwen DeMarco, this actress laments that her only job is to repeat back everything that the computer says. She portrayed The Director in Cabin in the Woods and voiced the ship’s computer in Wall-E.

    Photo Release September 23, 2013 Summit Christian Academy 1500 SW Jefferson Lee’s Summit, MO 64081 Contact: Chantele Ferguson (816) 525.1480 Summit Christian Academy Welcomes Willie Aikens (Lee’s Summit, MO) – Summit Christian Academy (SCA) recently welcomed retired Major League Baseball first baseman Willie Aikens to speak to a 6th grade class. Willie Mays Aikens, one of baseball’s top hitters, played for the Kansas City Royals from 1979 to 1983. Aikens’ performance in the 1980 World Series with the Royals made him the first player in World Series history to hit two home runs in the same game twice during the World Series. However, the legend’s struggle with drugs and alcohol led to jail time, and in 1984, the Royals traded Aikens to the Toronto Blue Jays, where he played until 1985. “This is the first time a professional athlete has come to our class for show-and-tell,” said Mrs. Green. SCA 6th grader Clayton Leighty asked Aikens, a long-time family friend, to share with the class. For Aikens, sharing with students about his experiences as a major league baseball player included much of his experiences off the field. “Poor choices” and drug abuse led to heartaches and a 20-year prison sentence for Aikens. “I made some bad decisions in my life,” said Aikens. “You have to know that eVery decision leads to consequences. Now is the time to decide to make good choices,” said Aikens. “It’s hard to hear about his life before,” said Betsy Keilers, mother of Leighty and Aikens’ friend.
