MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION 2010 By: Senator(s) Burton To: Rules SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 652 1 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING AND SALUTING THE SPORTS 2 HISTORICAL LEGACY OF THE LATE RICHARD ATLEY DONALD, THE ONLY MAJOR 3 LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER BORN IN MORTON, MISSISSIPPI, IN THE 4 CENTENNIAL YEAR OF HIS BIRTH. 5 WHEREAS, Richard Atley Donald was the only Major League 6 baseball player from Morton, Mississippi. He pitched in the New 7 York Yankee farm system from 1934-1938, wore the New York Yankee 8 pinstripes from 1938-1945, and was a Yankee Scout from 1946-1975; 9 and 10 WHEREAS, Morton, Mississippi, is a town of approximately 11 3,500 residents. No other Major League pitcher from Mississippi 12 has ever been on teams which won four pennants and three World 13 Series; and 14 WHEREAS, Atley Donald was born August 19, 1910, in his 15 hometown of Morton, Mississippi, and spent his first 18 months in 16 Hillsboro, Mississippi, before the family moved to Louisiana. He 17 pitched collegiately for Louisiana Tech, in Ruston, and faced 18 college teams in Mississippi: Millsaps, Mississippi College and 19 the University of Mississippi. One of his collegiate mound 20 opponents was Claude Passeau of Millsaps, a future National League 21 pitcher. Atley's lifetime ambition was to be a New York Yankee 22 player. In January 1934, Atley's dad, Hugh Donald, gave his son 23 $25.00 and his brother's raincoat so he could hitchhike to St. 24 Petersburg, Florida, where the Yankees trained; and 25 WHEREAS, Atley Donald impressed Yankee Manager Joe McCarthy 26 by pitching well against future Cooperstown Hall of Famers Babe 27 Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey, Tony Lazzerri and Earle Combs in a 28 1934 practice game. Atley signed a Minor League contract with the S. C. R. No. 652 *SS02/R1438* N1/2 10/SS02/R1438 PAGE 1 29 Yankees, and spent most of the next five years in their system: 30 Wheeling, West Virginia, Class C; Norfolk, Virginia, Class B; 31 Binghamton, New York, Class A; and Newark, New Jersey, Class AA. 32 Atley's five-year minor totals were 78 wins and 41 losses, for a 33 .655 winning percentage. He was 19-2 for the 1937 Newark Bears, 34 champions of the Little World Series and one of the very best 35 Minor League teams of all time; and 36 WHEREAS, Atley Donald won 12 straight games for the 1939 New 37 York Yankees, still a league record for Rookie pitchers; was named 38 to the 1939 All-Rookie Team; led the American League with an .813 39 winning percentage (13-3 record); threw a fastball clocked at 95 40 miles per hour, the fastest in the Major Leagues in late August 41 1939; and helped the Yankees win their fourth straight American 42 League pennant; and 43 WHEREAS, Atley Donald assisted Lou Gehrig in walking out on 44 the playing field on July 4, 1939, so Gehrig could address 61,000 45 fans at Yankee Stadium with words such as: "Yet today I consider 46 myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." Atley was also 47 a close friend of Joe DiMaggio, the "Yankee Clipper," who loaned 48 him an automobile, when Atley had to remain in St. Petersburg, 49 Florida, due to an injury; and 50 WHEREAS, Atley Donald suffered from bad vision in his left 51 eye from infancy, but finished with a 65-33 career won-loss record 52 for the New York Yankees, for a .663 winning percentage, a very 53 similar career record compared to Dave "Boo" Ferriss, of Shaw, 54 Mississippi, 65-30 career-wise, for the Boston Red Sox. Atley 55 earned World Series rings in 1939, 1941 and 1943, and was 56 instrumental in helping the Yankees win the 1939 and 1941, 1942 57 and 1943 American League pennants. Atley was offered, and 58 accepted, a scouting position with the Yankees in 1946. He 59 covered most of the South, including Mississippi. Atley scouted 60 Jack Reed of Silver City, Mississippi, in the early 1950s, when 61 Reed played for the University of Mississippi, and signed him in S. C. R. No. 652 *SS02/R1438* 10/SS02/R1438 PAGE 2 62 1953. (Jack Reed was a member of the 1961-1963 Yankee 63 Championship teams); and 64 WHEREAS, Atley Donald married Betty Bawcom in Natchez, 65 Mississippi, in a private ceremony at the Presbyterian Church on 66 January 8, 1955; and 67 WHEREAS, Donald scouted Jake Gibbs from the time Gibbs was a 68 high school senior in Grenada, Mississippi, in 1957, throughout 69 Gibbs' collegiate career at the University of Mississippi and 70 eventually signed Gibbs to a Yankee organization contract in 1961. 71 His wife, Betty, accompanied him to Grenada for this signing 72 ceremony. Atley later scouted some of Jake Gibbs' Ole Miss 73 ballplayers from 1972-1974 at games in Oxford; and 74 WHEREAS, several other prominent big leaguers signed by Atley 75 Donald for the Yankees were Ron Blomberg in 1967 and Ron Guidry in 76 1971. Blomberg became the first designated hitter in American 77 League history when he faced Luis Tiant of the Boston Red Sox, 78 April 6, 1973. Ron Guidry's 1978 season with the Yankees was 79 remarkable - 25-3 record, a franchise-best 248 strikeouts, plus 13 80 straight wins, to break Atley's team record of 12 consecutive 81 victories, set back in 1939; and 82 WHEREAS, Boo Ferriss enjoyed Atley's friendship and urged the 83 Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame's Selection Committee to consider 84 Atley's nomination; and 85 WHEREAS, it is with great pride that we note the important 86 baseball history and record by this legendary Mississippi sports 87 hero: 88 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF 89 MISSISSIPPI, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING THEREIN, That 90 we do hereby recognize and salute Richard Atley Donald, the only 91 Major League baseball player born in Morton, Mississippi, on the 92 centennial of his birth and extend our best wishes on this 93 auspicious occasion.

    HEARING OF THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE ANNUAL THREAT ASSESSMENT WITNESSES: MR. MIKE McCONNELL, DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE; LIEUTENANT GENERAL MICHAEL D. MAPLES, DIRECTOR, DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY; DR. THOMAS FINGAR, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE FOR ANALYSIS & CHAIRMAN, NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COUNCIL CHAIRED BY: SENATOR CARL LEVIN (D-MI) LOCATION: 216 HART SENATE OFFICE BUILDING, WASHINGTON, D.C. TIME: 9:35 A.M. EST DATE: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2007 SEN. LEVIN: (Strikes gavel.) Good morning, everybody. First we'd like to welcome our witnesses to today's hearing, congratulate Director McConnell on his confirmation, note this is the first time that he'll be testifying as the director of National Intelligence. And of course we're also glad to have General Maples from the DIA appearing here again, and also Dr. Tom Fingar, who is the deputy director of National Intelligence for Analysis as well as the chairman of the National Intelligence Council. We've asked our witnesses to address current and longer-term threats and intelligence challenges around the world. This committee has a special responsibility to the men and women of our armed forces to be vigilant on intelligence programs, because decisions on whether or not to use military force and the planning for military operations depend so heavily on intelligence. At the same time the intelligence community bears this heavy responsibility, it is burdened by skepticism about the accuracy of its assessments due to poor performance and manipulation of intelligence on Iraq prior to the invasion. The conflict in Iraq is consuming a large share of our intelligence capabilities, diminishing the ability of the intelligence community to support diplomacy, monitor threats and prepare for other contingencies.

    PLAY BALL! MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL in BLOOMSBURG Did

    PLAY BALL! MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IN BLOOMSBURG Did you ever dream of seeing major league baseball in Columbia County? It happened once in the past. During the recent American League Divisional Championship series between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, a few Columbia County long-time baseball fans were reminded of the series played between those same two teams at the Bloomsburg Fair in October 1925. The two major-league teams were scheduled for a three-game series during Fair week. They played on an improvised field on the racetrack infield in front of the grandstand. Each squad brought to town only the bare minimum of players; the Yankee pitchers when they were not on the mound played in the outfield. Two games were completed; the third day’s game was rained out and couldn’t be rescheduled because the teams left town for an engagement in Wilkes-Barre. The Tigers won both games, but both were close, exciting contests. The games were slated at 10:00am each day so as not to conflict with the trotting races held in the afternoons. Apparently, the Fair Board was hoping that the major leaguers would draw folks to the Fair in the usually-slack morning hours. And the scheme worked – the games drew upwards of 10,000 fans each day. At the time, the grandstand capacity was only 2,000, so the other fans crowded the railing around the oval track. In 1925 the Yankees were in the middle of their storied 1920s championship era. With Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig as mainstays, this was arguably the greatest baseball team ever assembled.

They neglect such mundane subjects as spring house cleaning and overlook the melancholy fact that armies with evil intentions march when the snow melts. We hope our only concern is with flowers, bees and birds and things like that. As for spring house cleaning, just open the doors and let the house air out. Why joust with vacuum cleaners and mops when spring beckons? Spring does a good job of beckoning in the desert land. It is our pleasure to show you some panoramas of the desert and desert plateau country when nature's fashion calls for spring dress. We wish we could promise the most colorful spring ever but the effiorescence of spring depends on the rainfall. We have had a darned dry "dry spell" hereabouts, broken only by a good rain in late January. If the rains keep on, then we can predict a real pretty March, April and May, but who the heck is going to be silly enough to try to tell whether it'll rain. Anyway, we'll promise you grand weather. An Arizona spring can't be beat. The weather had better be perfect! Sometime this month a group of wonderfully agile and extremely well paid young men who answer to the roll call of the Cleveland Indians, and another group of even more agile and even better paid young men who form the New York Yankees baseball team arrive in Tucson and Phoenix for spring training, the latter to get ready to defend the World's Championship, the former to try to bring it to Cleveland.

  • THE AMERICAN POWER All- Stars

    THE AMERICAN POWER All- Stars

    THE AMERICAN POWER All- Stars Scorecard & Voting Guide History About every two years, when Congress takes up an energy bill, the Big Oil Team and the Clean Energy Team go head to head on the floor of the U.S. Senate -- who will prevail and shape our nation’s energy policy? The final rosters for the two teams are now coming together, re- flecting Senators’ votes on energy and climate legislation. Senators earn their spot on the Big Oil Team by voting to maintain America’s ailing energy policy with its en- trenched big government subsidies for oil companies, lax oversight on safety and the environment for oil drilling, leases and permits for risky sources of oil, and appointments of regulators who have cozy relationships with the industry. Senators get onto the Clean Energy Team by voting for a new energy policy that will move Amer- ica away from our dangerous dependence on oil and other fossil fuels, and toward cleaner, safer sources of energy like wind, solar, geothermal, and sustainable biomass. This new direction holds the opportunity to make American power the energy technology of the future while creating jobs, strengthening our national security, and improving our environment. Introduction Lobbyists representing the two teams’ sponsors storm the halls of the Congress for months ahead of the votes to sway key players to vote for their side. The Big Oil Team’s sponsors, which include BP and the American Petroleum Institute (API), use their colossal spending power to hire sly K-Street lobbyists who make closed-door deals with lawmakers, sweetened with sizable campaign contribu- tions.

In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League. These changes were made to help reduce travel and allow Major League teams to have their affiliates, in most cases, within 200 miles of the parent club (or play at their Spring Training facilities). triple-a clubs & affiliates midwest northeast southeast e Columbus (Cleveland Indians) Buffalo (Toronto Blue Jays) Charlotte (Chicago White Sox) Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates) Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies) Durham (Tampa Bay Rays) a Iowa (Chicago Cubs) Rochester (Washington Nationals) Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) s Louisville (Cincinnati Reds) Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) Jacksonville (Miami Marlins) Omaha (Kansas City Royals) Syracuse (New York Mets) Memphis (St.
