Dizzy Dean Baseball DIZZY DEAN BASEBALL “FUN, CHARACTER, WINNERS” By: Billy J. Powell Commissioner - 97/98 Dizzy Dean Baseball is not for coaches, parents, or spectators. Dizzy Dean Baseball is for the youth that play the game. One of the greatest outlets for youth is baseball. As a professional, Dizzy Dean played baseball for the love of the game and with the enthusiasm, intensity and energy of the youth that play the game today. He played because it was fun. We must continue to make baseball a fun game without placing undue pressure and stress on our youth. Our youth come first, winning second. When you build the character in a youth, you build a winner. There was no organized baseball in Arkansas while Dizzy Dean was growing up and he was denied the opportunity to play baseball as a young boy. It was Dizzy Dean’s dream that one day every young person would have the opportunity to play baseball. We, the National Board of Directors of Dizzy Dean Baseball, Inc., are dedicated to giving our youth this opportunity and promise to provide them with the best baseball program available today. This was Dizzy Dean’s dream, this is what Dizzy Dean Baseball is about.

to non-existent, there is a remote risk that other blood borne infectious diseases can be transmitted. For example, Hepatitis B can be present in blood as well as in other body fluids. Procedures for reducing the potential for transmission of these infectious agents should include, but not be limited to, the following: 1. The bleeding must be stopped, the open wound covered and if there is an excessive amount of blood on the uniform, it must be changed before the athlete may participate. 2. Routine use of gloves or other precautions to prevent skin and mucous-membrane exposure when contact with blood or other body fluids is anticipated. 3. Immediately wash hands and other skin surfaces if contaminated (in contact) with blood or other body fluids. Wash hands immediately after removing gloves. 4. Clean all contaminated surfaces and equipment with an appropriate disinfectant before competition resumes. 5. Practice proper disposal procedures to prevent injuries caused by needles, scalpels and other sharp instruments or devices. 6. Although saliva has not been implicated in HIV transmission, to minimize the need for emergency mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, mouthpieces, resuscitation bags, or other ventilation devices should be available for use. 7. Athletic trainers/coaches with bleeding or oozing skin conditions should refrain from all direct athletic care until the condition resolves. 8. Contaminated towels should be properly disposed of/disinfected. 9. Follow acceptable guidelines in the immediate control of bleeding and when handling bloody dressings, mouth guards and other articles containing body fluids. Additional information is available from your state high school association and from the National Federation. 4 CHILD ABUSE / MOLESTATION STATEMENT 1.

  • Wil Linkugel and Edward J. Pappas. They Tasted Glory: Among the Missing at the Baseball Hall of Fame
    186 AethlonXSftkl / Fall 1999 much better that our fascination with muscle and sweat comes with a context, that the high drama of Michael Jordan or the McGwire/Sosa showdown, the dark tragedy of the Simpson trial, the hokey melodrama of the World Wrestling Federation, and even the edgy comedy of the Worm or Tonya Harding-in short, the entire carnival excess of our limitless fascination with the athlete is rooted in this century's evolving distrust of the intellect and our deep fascination with the body. Professor Segel's work, beautifully written, handsomely ornamented with photographs, and impeccably researched, does what any good culture study needs to do-shows us something about our own moment in history. Arlen Davis Wil Linkugel and Edward J. Pappas. They Tasted Glory: Among the Missing at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland, 1998. 248 pp. $28.50. Spring training arrives. Your team's chances look much better now thanks to last year's Rookie of the Year pitcher/slugger who's bound to shine even brighter this year. You brag about your team's chances, and, before some other team's fan can respond "sophomore jinx" in the sports fan chat room, that "sure-fire" all-star Hall-of-Famer turns up injured, out for most or all of the season. He comes back and never seems quite as good as he was, becomes injured again, fades into obscurity. Linkugel and Pappas's well-researched They Tasted Glory focuses on just that type of scenario for players such as Mark Fidrych, who won 19 games in 1976, received the Sporting News Rookie of the Year award, and never really came back successfully after injuring his arm the following year.
