    Repeal of Baseball's Longstanding Antitrust Exemption: Did Congress Strike out Again? INTRODUCrION "Baseball is everybody's business."' We have just witnessed the conclusion of perhaps the greatest baseball season in the history of the game. Not one, but two men broke the "unbreakable" record of sixty-one home-runs set by New York Yankee great Roger Maris in 1961;2 four men hit over fifty home-runs, a number that had only been surpassed fifteen times in the past fifty-six years,3 while thirty-three players hit over thirty home runs;4 Barry Bonds became the only player to record 400 home-runs and 400 stolen bases in a career;5 and Alex Rodriguez, a twenty-three-year-old shortstop, joined Bonds and Jose Canseco as one of only three men to have recorded forty home-runs and forty stolen bases in a 6 single season. This was not only an offensive explosion either. A twenty- year-old struck out twenty batters in a game, the record for a nine inning 7 game; a perfect game was pitched;' and Roger Clemens of the Toronto Blue Jays won his unprecedented fifth Cy Young award.9 Also, the Yankees won 1.

  • * Text Features
    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, April 18, 2020 * The Boston Globe Fenway Park is ready to play ball, even though we are not Stan Grossfeld The grass is perfect and the old ballpark is squeaky clean — it was scrubbed and disinfected for viral pathogens for three days in March. Spending a few hours at Fenway Park is good for the soul. The ballpark is totally silent. The mound and home plate are covered by tarps and the foul lines aren’t drawn yet, but it feels as if there still could be a game played today. The sun’s warmth reflecting off The Wall feels good. The tug of the past is all around but the future is the great unknown. In Fenway, zoom is still a word to describe a Chris Sale fastball, not a video conferencing app. Old friend Terry Francona and the Cleveland Indians would have been here this weekend and there would’ve been big hugs by the batting cage and the rhythmic crack of bat meeting ball. But now gaining access is nearly impossible and includes health questions and safety precautions and a Fenway security escort. Visitors must wear a respiratory mask, gloves, and practice social distancing, larger than the lead Dave Roberts got on Mariano Rivera in the 2004 ALCS. Carissa Unger of Green City Growers in Somerville is planting organic vegetables for Fenway Farms, located on the rooftop of the park. She is one of the few allowed into the ballpark. The harvest this year all will be donated to a local food pantry.

  • [Read] Doc: the Life of Roy Halladay | Ebook
    Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay Hall of Famer, Cy Young winner, and All-Star will forever be used to describe the illustrious career of Roy Halladay. With a repertoire of masterful pitches wielded with impeccable command, he piled up accolades during his 16 major league seasons, the very image of stability and dominance whenever he took the mound. Doc is a celebration and a profound remembrance of a beloved player, friend, and family man. Todd Zolecki traces Halladay's remarkable journey, from garnering the attention of major league scouts as a teenager in Colorado, to Halladay's methodical reinvention and ascent to ace status in Toronto, to the signature no-hitter he authored in his playoff debut with the Philadelphia Phillies. Also examined are Halladay's distinctive, disciplined approach to pitching, his impact as a teammate and community member, and the baseball world's honoring of these qualities in Cooperstown in 2019. Thoroughly and thoughtfully reported, with input and reflections from Halladay's teammates, coaches, competitors, and more, this is an essential biography for baseball fans everywhere. https://ift.realfiedbook.com/?book=1629377503 Read Online PDF Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay, Download PDF Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay, Download Full PDF Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay, Download PDF and EPUB Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay, Read PDF ePub Mobi Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay, Reading PDF Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay, Download Book PDF Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay, Read online Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay, Download Doc: The

    Bob Gibson April 2004 No. 96 The greatest big-game pitcher of his era, Bob Gibson is a native of Omaha who continues to call the metropolitan area his home. Over 17 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, he posted World Series records of seven consecutive wins and 17 strikeouts in a game, both unbroken records today. Gibson led the Cardinals to two World Series championships and was twice named MVP of the World Series. He won nine straight Gold Glove awards, two Cy Young awards and pitched a no-hitter in 1971. In 1968, he was named the National League Most Valuable Player, after posting a 22-9 record, 1.12 ERA, throwing 13 shutouts and recording 268 strikeouts. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1981 and in 1999 was voted by baseball fans to Major League Baseball’s All-Century Team. The Hall of Fame called Gibson “the very definition of intimidation, competitiveness and dignity.“ Gibson was a star in both basketball and baseball at Omaha Technical High School and also was a two-sport star athlete at Creighton University. His first professional sports experience was in basketball, where he spent a year as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. His roommate was Meadowlark Lemon. He was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals and soon moved from the minor leagues to the major league roster. Two of his roasters via videotape were famous former Gibson teammates: New York Yankees Manager Joe Torre and Fox Sports broadcaster Tim McCarver. Both were St.
