  • How Baseball Is Like the Christian Walk!
    How baseball is like the Christian walk! By: David E. Prince, PhD ! Baseball means dealing with failure. "There is more Met than Yankee in all of us," as Roger !Angell has poignantly written.! Every person who has ever played the game of baseball has been a consistent failure. It has been more than 70 years since the Splendid Splinter, Ted Williams, finished the 1941 baseball season with a .406 batting average. Williams' failure rate of 60 percent means that he failed less often than any batter in the seven subsequent decades. In fact, only five other players in the live ball era (since 1920) have matched the success of his 60 percent failure rate. Babe Ruth, known for hitting 714 home runs, struck out 1,330 times in his Major League Baseball career. The Cy Young Award is baseball's most coveted honor for the game's best pitcher each season. !And yet the award's namesake lost 316 games as a major league pitcher.! The reality that baseball is a game of managed failure for every player, even the great ones, is one of the reasons the game imbedded so deeply in the fabric of American culture. Baseball became the national pastime because it reflected the national character -- a collective team endeavor that called consistently for individual responsibility and personal sacrifice for the greater good. John Updike noted, baseball is "an essentially lonely game." Once the batting order is set there is nowhere to hide; your turn at the plate is coming. The fact that the whole team is counting on you in that moment produces the possibility of personal exultation or humiliation.

  • The Psychological and Physiological Effects of the Stanley Cup Playoffs a Review of the Literature Joe Robinson
    The Psychological and Physiological Effects of the Stanley Cup Playoffs A Review of the Literature Joe Robinson Abstract This review examines the influence of the Stanley Cup playoffs on both the players and fans of the National Hockey League. Canada’s most beloved pastime is beginning to gain widespread popularity in the United States. As a result, there has been extensive research into the sport’s psychological and physiological effects in the past few years. A recent sociological study determined that suicide rates in the Canadian province of Quebec can be influenced by the playoffs and its relationship to other factors, such as sex, age, and marital status. Other studies have analyzed the reasons for the 2011 Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver. Expert opinions on this subject vary significantly. Psychology professor Ervin Staub believes the riots were the result of a decrease in testosterone levels of dejected male fans, who used “destructive means to regain their sense of effectiveness” (Alexander). Whereas author Bill Buford explained that the fans simply found it exciting to riot. Journalists have taken a different approach to examining the effects of the NHL playoffs, opting to report on player superstitions, such as playoff beards and jinxes associated with the Stanley Cup. Even fans have contributed to the research effort by providing a unique perspective on the psychological phenomenon known as the bandwagon effect. Medical professionals have researched the physical effects of the playoffs. A 2006 study by speech pathologist William Hodgetts concluded that fans who attend a single, three hour playoff game can potentially suffer serious hearing damage.

    2012 -- H 8015 ======= LC02213 ======= STATE OF RHODE ISLAND IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY JANUARY SESSION, A.D. 2012 ____________ H O U S E R E S O L U T I O N COMMEMORATING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF FENWAY PARK, HOME OF THE BOSTON RED SOX Introduced By: Representatives Kennedy, Fox, Mattiello, E Coderre, and Baldelli-Hunt Date Introduced: March 28, 2012 Referred To: House read and passed 1 WHEREAS, Historic Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox and beloved by Red 2 Sox fans and baseball lovers throughout the world for its quaint intimacy, its world famous Green 3 Monster, and for the seamless fit between its architecture and the surrounding urban landscape, is 4 celebrating its 100 th anniversary in 2012. This celebration will be observed by the Boston Red 5 Sox, their millions of fans, and by traditional baseball and architecture lovers across the country 6 and globe; and 7 WHEREAS, Fenway Park opened in 1912 and is the oldest Major League Baseball Park 8 still in use. Built for the then-princely sum of $650,000, its asymmetrical design stemmed from 9 the need to position the park against the contours of the bustling and dense “Fenway-Kenmore” 10 neighborhood of Boston. Its architecture resulted in a small capacity for a major league baseball 11 park and its many endearing features, such as the short Pesky Pole down the right field line and 12 the “Triangle” in deep Center Field. Fenway Park’s lack of much foul territory brings the 13 spectators very close to the action and helps give it its reputation as a “hitters park,” because most 14 foul balls hit by a batter land in the stands, out of the grasp of the fielders, thus affording hitters 15 extra swings at the plate; and 16 WHEREAS, Fenway Park’s most prominent, famous, and beloved feature is the Green 17 Monster in the left field.
