The time has sped by to quickly as I clearly remember playing on the 1st Avery Point Championship Team in 1973, winning the Connecticut Small College Conference Championship under Coach George Greer. Defeating Stamford UCONN to clinch the championship with teammates like Pat Kelly, Jeff Kirsch, Herb Gardner, Jerry Stergio, Jay Macko and Mike Wilkinson to name a few. Playing a modest 10 game schedule that fall of 1973 started a streak of 15 consecutive CSCC Championships. When George Greer left to coach Davidson College in 1982, I left UCONN as their baseball graduate assistant to replace Coach Greer as the Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach and ultimately joining the NJCAA in 1985. This has led to 14 NJCAA New England Championships, 7 East District Championships and 7 World Series appearances. There has been 37 Professional Baseball signee’s, 3 major Leaguers -John McDonald, Rajai Davis and Pete Walker-, 180 players playing at 4 year programs including 56 to UCONN and 18 NJCAA All-Americans. A true testament to the core values of Avery Point Baseball, player development and recruitment of high character people. Special moments have been many, especially our first NJCAA New England Championship in 1990 with Mike Blais pitching a complete game at Washington park to defeat CCRI. Avery Point’s first World Series appearance in 1999 and Jayson Drobiak’s dramatic home run vs. Delaware Tech in the district tournament at Washington Park sending Avery Point to Millington Tennessee and the NJCAA Division II World Series. Tyler McEntyre’s home run in the 13th inning in the 2010 World Series in Enid, OK to defeat Western Oklahoma College sending the Pointers to the championship game vs. LSU Eunice. Doug Domnarski’s no hitter vs. CCRI in the 2015 New England Playoffs at Washington Park, putting an explanation point on my 1,000 win at Avery Point the first time in history to have ever happened in Junior College Baseball. John McDonald earning a World Series Ring for the 2014 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. Rajai Davis dramatic home run to tie game 7 vs. the Chicago Cubs in the 2016 World Series for the Cleveland Indians. My induction to the NJCAA Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017 at Grand Junction, Colorado. An award I accepted for all the special players and coaches I have had the privilege to work with during my 34 years coaching at Avery Point. All of these accomplishments and championships never could have been dreamed of in the beginning as it was always the next practice, game, recruit, trying to stay with the process of getting better every day. These championships and accomplishments turned out to be a product of the process we had to go through to improve. The journey, the struggles and disappointments, writing our own pyramid of success turned out to be as fulfilling as actually getting there and winning championships. The program is in good hands with the current Coach Mike Aldrich who has a bright future with new visions and new stories to be told. The program will continue to grow and prosper, this I am confident of. My heart will always be with Pointer Baseball, I will always be your # 1 FAN!

UCAP Baseball Yearbook 2018– Page 1 2017 SEASON IN REVIEW 29-16 NJCAA Region XXI New England Champions NJCAA Division II East District Champions NJCAA Division II World Series The Pointers finished the 2017 season with an overall record of 29-16, falling to Kankakee C.C., the eventual National Champions in their third game at the NJCAA Div. II World Series in Enid, OK. The group opened up their first World Series trip under Head Coach, Mike Aldrich with an impressive victory over Kankakee C.C. behind a strong start on the mound from C.J. Leindecker (6.0 IP, 3 ER) and an offensive explosion throughout the lineup, capped off with homeruns from Cooper Robinson and Mike Corso, and Gavin Weyman slamming the door for the save. The group faced a tough task in game 2, going against Parkland of Illinois who earned a first round bye, after falling behind 2-0 after the top of the first, Mike Chiovitti drove a line drive over the left field fence scoring Savino to notch it up at 2. Despite no ER’s given up by the pointer bullpen (Andy Grant, Joe Nemchek) and a two-run home run from Vinnie Pallisco in the fifth to the opposite field the Pointers were unable to overcome mistakes and fell 8-5 sending them to the losers’ bracket for game 3 against Kankakee. Despite a 2-hit effort from Mike Savino the pointers were unable to scratch across enough runs and fell in a mercy rule game 12-2 in 5 innings, ending their underdog National Championship run. Avery Point advanced to the NJCAA Division II World Series after winning the East District Tournament in Valhalla, NY. The team opened up the tournament against the host, Westchester C.C. whom they took 2 of 3 from during the regular season, starting their ace, CJ Leindecker. CJ scattered 6 hits over 7 innings of work giving up only 2 earned runs in the 11-2 mercy rule victory. The Pointer offense was led by Cooper Robinson and Mike Corso

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks Honoring the 2010 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants July 25, 2011 The President. Well, hello, everybody. Have a seat, have a seat. This is a party. Welcome to the White House, and congratulations to the Giants on winning your first World Series title in 56 years. Give that a big round. I want to start by recognizing some very proud Giants fans in the house. We've got Mayor Ed Lee; Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom. We have quite a few Members of Congress—I am going to announce one; the Democratic Leader in the House, Nancy Pelosi is here. We've got Senator Dianne Feinstein who is here. And our newest Secretary of Defense and a big Giants fan, Leon Panetta is in the house. I also want to congratulate Bill Neukom and Larry Baer for building such an extraordinary franchise. I want to welcome obviously our very special guest, the "Say Hey Kid," Mr. Willie Mays is in the house. Now, 2 years ago, I invited Willie to ride with me on Air Force One on the way to the All-Star Game in St. Louis. It was an extraordinary trip. Very rarely when I'm on Air Force One am I the second most important guy on there. [Laughter] Everybody was just passing me by—"Can I get you something, Mr. Mays?" [Laughter] What's going on? Willie was also a 23-year-old outfielder the last time the Giants won the World Series, back when the team was in New York.

  • The Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal
    The Astros’ Sign-Stealing Scandal Major League Baseball (MLB) fosters an extremely competitive environment. Tens of millions of dollars in salary (and endorsements) can hang in the balance, depending on whether a player performs well or poorly. Likewise, hundreds of millions of dollars of value are at stake for the owners as teams vie for World Series glory. Plus, fans, players and owners just want their team to win. And everyone hates to lose! It is no surprise, then, that the history of big-time baseball is dotted with cheating scandals ranging from the Black Sox scandal of 1919 (“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”), to Gaylord Perry’s spitter, to the corked bats of Albert Belle and Sammy Sosa, to the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now, the Houston Astros have joined this inglorious list. Catchers signal to pitchers which type of pitch to throw, typically by holding down a certain number of fingers on their non-gloved hand between their legs as they crouch behind the plate. It is typically not as simple as just one finger for a fastball and two for a curve, but not a lot more complicated than that. In September 2016, an Astros intern named Derek Vigoa gave a PowerPoint presentation to general manager Jeff Luhnow that featured an Excel-based application that was programmed with an algorithm. The algorithm was designed to (and could) decode the pitching signs that opposing teams’ catchers flashed to their pitchers. The Astros called it “Codebreaker.” One Astros employee referred to the sign- stealing system that evolved as the “dark arts.”1 MLB rules allowed a runner standing on second base to steal signs and relay them to the batter, but the MLB rules strictly forbade using electronic means to decipher signs.

The Role of Skill Versus Luck in Poker: Evidence from the World Series of Poker Steven D. Levitt and Thomas J. Miles NBER Working Paper No. 17023 May 2011 JEL No. K23,K42 ABSTRACT In determining the legality of online poker – a multibillion dollar industry – courts have relied heavily on the issue of whether or not poker is a game of skill. Using newly available data, we analyze that question by examining the performance in the 2010 World Series of Poker of a group of poker players identified as being highly skilled prior to the start of the events. Those players identified a priori as being highly skilled achieved an average return on investment of over 30 percent, compared to a -15 percent for all other players.
