Barbara Fornalik goodshepherdepiscopal.org Deacon September 2016 Dear Friends in Christ: September brings back our regular schedule of activities and another edition of our wonderful newsletter. Many thanks to Laura and Richard for their exceptional efforts in producing this publication. A few days ago I passed a significant milestone with you all and in a couple of weeks I will enter a new decade. A dear friend passed on a lovely email from an unknown author listing the things that they had learned as they grew older. It was filled with wisdom and I wanted to share just a few items with everyone. These are things I have learned as well, in addition to things I am currently learning, and wisdom I hope to attain someday. Enjoy. Things that I have learned: That being kind is more important than being right. That I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help in any other way. That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand. That love, not time, heals all wounds. That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. That it’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular. That just one person saying to me, ‘You’ve made my day’ makes my day. That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness occurs while you’re climbing it. Never stop learnin g Faithfully, Because life never stops teaching Welcome back to a new season of learning and growing in Christ at Good Shepherd September 2016 Page 2 CHURCH DIRECTORY The Rt. Rev.

I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can” -Babe Ruth 4 Abstract Like no other athlete before or since, Babe Ruth’s popularity has endured long after his playing days ended. His name has entered the popular lexicon, where “Ruthian” is a synonym for a superhuman feat, and other greats are referred to as the “Babe Ruth” of their field. Ruth’s name has even been attached to modern players, such as Shohei Ohtani, the Angels rookie known as the “Japanese Babe Ruth”. Ruth’s on field records and off-field antics have entered the realm of legend, and as a result, Ruth is often looked at as a sort of folk-hero. This thesis explains why Ruth is seen this way, and what forces led to the creation of the mythic figure surrounding the man.

Daley, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Alicia Mazur Berg, Commissioner Cover: An aerial view of Wrigley Field. Above: Wrigley Field is located in the Lake View community area on Chicago’s North Side. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the land- marks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. Wrigley Field 1060 W.

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.

  • Chad Sabadie
    America's Presstime: How Images Of Baseball Reporters Have Shaped the Perception of Our National Sport and The Profession Of Journalism By Chad Sabadie “You call ourselves writers, and all we do is watch ballgames, argue about everything and just get drunk a lot. You call that writing?” asks sportswriter Al Stump of his colleagues in the movie Cobb. 1 What is a baseball sportswriter? Is it someone who merely reports on daily games and activities? Or is it someone who plays a larger role in the world of the players and fans with whom he associates? What is the image that comes to mind when one mentions a baseball reporter? The image of a baseball reporter is varied at best. Some see him or her as just another hard worker out to do his or her job. Others see an intrusive antagonist who will do anything to break a story. Over the years, the public has seen many images of baseball writers, and not while attending games at the ballpark. They’re seen in America’s other favorite pastime, the movies. It’s on the big screen that the different personalities and traits are truly exposed. Some images are constant from film to film, while others may just flash up once in a while. In baseball movies specifically, the public comes across a wide spectrum of personas that reveal what it takes to make a baseball writer. Many of the images are projections of real life transformed to film. There are writers who believe that their word is final, while others are friends who aid ballplayers throughout their careers.

  • Babe Ruth Activity Bundle Integrated Reading and Math Activities
    Babe Ruth Activity Bundle Integrated Reading and Math Activities For Grades 5-8 7 INTEGRATED ACTIVITIES Perfect for Interactive Notebooks Perfect for Morning Work or Assessments Name _______________________________________ Babe Ruth Baseball Card Math – Calculating Slugging Percentage Use the chart below to answer the questions. These are REAL statistics! Year At-bats Total Bases Slugging Percentage 1919 432 284 .657 1920 458 388 1921 540 457 1922 406 273 1923 522 399 1924 529 391 1925 359 195 Unlike batting average, slugging percentage measures the quality of hits a batter gets. If a batter hits a lot of doubles, triples, and home runs, he or she will have a high slugging percentage. Slugging percentage is calculated by dividing the total number of at-bats by total bases. For example, in the year 1919, Babe Ruth had a slugging percentage of .657. I got this by dividing the total bases for 1919 (284) by the at-bats for 1919 (432). The answer I got was 0.65740741. I rounded it to the nearest thousandth to get .657. In general, a slugging percentage that is .500 or more is considered a good slugging percentage. Fill in the slugging percentage cell for each year. Ask your teacher whether or not you can use a calculator. Make sure you correctly round to the nearest thousandth.
