The H3 Baseball Bunch The H3 Baseball Bunch (the picture below is the original 1980 logo) The Baseball Bunch is an American educational children's television series that originally aired in broadcast syndication from August 23, 1980 through the fall of 1985. Produced by Major League Baseball Productions, the series was a 30- minute baseball-themed program airing on Saturday mornings, which featured a combination of comedy sketches and Major League guest-stars, intended to provide instructional tips to Little League aged children. Throughout its five season run, the Emmy Award winning series starred Johnny Bench, Tommy Lasorda and The Famous San Diego Chicken alongside a group of eight children (boys and girls ranging in age from 8–14) as "The Bunch". The Original Baseball Bunch In 2013… (circa 1980) We’re going to re-create the baseball bunch in Charlottesville, and we’ll call it the H3 (HEAD HEART HUSTLE) Baseball Bunch. The participants will be K-3rd graders from the area and they will be paired with 7th-8th grader mentor/”buddies” from our TP Elite Red travel baseball team.

Why the Chick-fil-A Partnership • For the last 3 years, the Chick-fil-A on Woodmark Drive (near Lowe’s) has given me an unlimited number of free milkshake coupons that I hand out to any member of my baseball teams that dives for a baseball or for any player that makes an exemplary HEAD, HEART, or HUSTLE play. Chick-fil-A has been such a good partner in helping to teach our 7th & 8th grade players the “right” way to play the game, that we have asked them to continue that partnership with this new crop of K-3rd grade players. .

Richard Crepeau SPORT AND SOCIETY FOR ARETE JULY 30, 1997 In a week in which I could choose to talk of Ben Hogan or Don Shula, I find myself compelled towards one of the best-known men in baseball over the past twenty years, Tommy LaSorda, who will be inducted into the manager's wing at Cooperstown on Sunday. Nellie Fox, Phil Niekro, and Willie Wells will also be honored. The fourteenth manager and the fifteenth Dodger honored, this man, who has been considered one of baseball's great ambassadors over the past twenty years, is an overwhelming fan's choice for a spot at Cooperstown.

  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, November 10, 2010 Poole: Glenn
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, November 10, 2010 Poole: Glenn Burke's story says a lot about us By Monte Poole, Oakland Tribune columnist 11/10/2010 It is impossible to have a cursory awareness of American history, of who we are as a nation, without coming to the realization that beneath our supposed love is a foundation of hate. Despite lofty talk about togetherness and unity, the enduring truth is we victimize and stigmatize certain segments of society, usually based on such personal factors as sex, ethnicity, race, religion or sexual orientation. Sport, where common cause trumps individual agendas, sometimes transcends this and bonds us all, explaining why Jackie Robinson and Billie Jean King and Yao Ming are not mere athletes but cultural icons cheered by broad, diverse fan bases. Stories like that of Glenn Burke, however, remind us that even in sports we're all teammates until hate and intolerance intervene, saying we can't be teammates because we're not all alike. The life and death of Burke, superbly told in "Out. The Glenn Burke Story," which premieres at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco tonight at 7:30 and will be shown on CSNBA at 8, places a mirror before us all. It forces us to inspect ourselves -- or at least it should. Burke's modest goal was to achieve a peaceful coexistence between a baseball career and his homosexuality. He was denied because, as often is the case throughout our history, the fundamental definition of freedom was corrupted, this time by the politics of baseball's hierarchy.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, June 27, 2020 * The Boston Globe MLB’s pandemic rules mean big changes for Red Sox TV and radio coverage Chad Finn In Major League Baseball’s packet of rules and regulations for restarting the season even as the COVID-19 virus refuses to yield the field, the effects the pandemic will have on the way media members do their jobs may as well be footnotes. That’s understandable given the wholesale changes required to the schedule and the implementation of complex protocols just to get a 60-game season started. Still, the changes with the media are significant, and will have a noticeable effect on what viewers and listeners receive for a game broadcast. A few notable rules: Only 35 media members per game will be allowed in the ballpark, including photographers but not including broadcasters; interviews with players and other personnel will be done via video conferencing; reporters must leave the ballpark within an hour of the end of postgame interviews. The rules for the television and radio teams are unlike anything that has been done before. Home teams will provide a “neutral” feed for each game, with instructions to show players on both teams equally; television commentators will not be in the ballpark for road games, instead calling them off a feed, but radio announcers will be permitted in road booths. The Red Sox broadcast teams for WEEI radio and NESN are in the process of figuring out their approaches, but some groundwork has already been laid for the targeted July 23 or 24 restart.

Engelhardt, Supervisor Janet M. Davis John Hartigan Mark C. Smith Sharon Strover Masculinity at the Video Game Arcade: 1972-1983 by Carly Ann Kocurek, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2012 Acknowledgements Completing a dissertation is a task that takes the proverbial village. I have been fortunate to have found guidance, encouragement, and support from a diversity of sources. First among these, of course, I must count the members of my committee. Thanks in particular to Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt who, as chair, served as both critic and cheerleader in equal measure and who has guided this project from its infancy. Janet M. Davis’s interest in the sinews that connect popular culture to broader political concerns has shaped my own approach. Mark C. Smith has been a source of support for the duration of my graduate studies; his investment in students, including graduate and undergraduate, is truly admirable. Were it not for a conversation with Sharon Strover in which she suggested I might consider completing some oral histories of video gaming, I might have pursued another project entirely. John Hartigan, through his incisive questions about the politics of race and gender at play in the arcade, shaped my research concerns.

  • The Season of Advent by Fr. Michael Seavey Tommy Lasorda Was
    The Season of Advent by Fr. Michael Seavey Tommy Lasorda was manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers for well over twenty years during the 1970s through 1990s. He is a devout Catholic and once related a story of his faith and baseball. The Dodgers were in Cincinnati for a three-game weekend series against the Reds. Tom rose early Sunday morning to attend the earliest Mass he could find allowing him to get to the ballpark. He happened to attend the same Mass as John McNamara attended, then the manager of the Reds. He thought how wonderful that later that afternoon their ball teams would square off against each other, but for this hour, both managers worshipped God together. As Mass ended, Tommy noticed John stop by a small side altar to the Blessed Mother. He lit a candle and knelt in prayer. Tommy expressed how impressed he was with John’s faith and devotion and so as the church emptied out, he too visited the side altar and knelt in prayer. He was asked by the interviewer, “Did you light a candle too?” “No,” Tommy responded, “I blew his out and we won 3-2.” The story becomes a nice segue to entering the beauty of Advent. The Advent season is one of the best kept secrets of the Catholic Church. It is rich in imagery and spiritual renewal and not simply a countdown to Christmas. Advent offers its own spirituality attention related to Christmas but also distinct. There are some things that I have learned over the years never to include in Advent preaching.
