Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World Series Champion Washington Nationals November 4, 2019 The President. Well, thank you very much, everyone. I have to say, this is a record. We've never had this many people on the front lawn of the White House. So congratulations. Just another record for the Nats. But today the First Lady and I are thrilled to welcome to the White House the 2019 World Series Champions, the Washington Nationals. For the first time in nearly 100 years, our Nation's Capital is celebrating a World Series victory. That's big stuff. The last time Washington, DC, was home to the World Series champs, the President was a gentleman named Calvin Coolidge. That's a long time ago. Nearly a century later, the Nationals have brought back the trophy to America's Capital, and you've won it. This is the first World Series in franchise history, and it's going to be, really, the first of many, I predict. I want to congratulate the terrific owners of the team. Your principal owner, Mark Lerner, and Ted Lerner. Great people. The Lerner family. A man who's become very famous—I think he's much more famous than me right now— General Manager Mike Rizzo. You have become very famous, huh? General Manager and President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo. Thank you, sir. The President. A manager—and you watch all the mistakes made in baseball and other sports, and then you watch what this man did as manager. He didn't make any.

    TeamUp Fantasy MLB Power Rankings (7/29 - 8/4) https://www.teamupfantasy.com/ 1. San Francisco Giants (62-37) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: 10,996 Movement: None The Giants are still under the $11,000 threshold despite maintaining the best record in baseball. This past week, they once again proved any doubters that still may be out there wrong by going on the road to take three of four from the Dodgers. They should be in all TeamUp portfolios this week and for the rest of the season. 2. Houston Astros (61-39) (7-3 L10) TeamUp Value: $11,128 Movement: 2 The Astros jumped to number two in our rankings this week - the highest they’ve been all season - on the backs of winning five of six since our last rankings came out. They are a no-brainer elite play in TeamUp portfolios. 3. Los Angeles Dodgers (61-40) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $12,291 Movement: 1 Despite dropping a spot this week, the Dodgers are still as stable as they come in terms of the top teams to have in your TeamUp portfolio. Keep firing them up in your lineup if you have the cap space to pay the hefty price. 4. Boston Red Sox (62-39) (7-3 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,611 Movement: 1 At $10,611, the Red Sox are valued as more of a team in the middle of these rankings than one that is among baseball’s elite. They won’t be slowing down anytime soon, making Boston arguably the top bang-for-your-buck play in TeamUp.
