The purpose of the draft is to assign amateur baseball players to major league teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. Eligible amateur players include graduated high school players who have not attended college, any junior or community college players, and players at four-year colleges and universities three years after first enrolling or after their 21st birthdays (whichever occurs first). From 1966-1986, a January draft was held in addition to the June draft targeting high school players who graduated in the winter, junior college players, and players who had dropped out of four-year colleges and universities. To date, there have been 1,170 Maryland players selected in the First-Year Player Drafts either from a Maryland High School (337), Maryland College (458), Non-Maryland College (357), or a Maryland amateur baseball club (18). The most Maryland selections in a year was in 1970 (38) followed by 1984 (37) and 1983 (36). The first Maryland selection was Jim Spencer from Andover High School with the 11th overall selection in the inaugural 1965 June draft.

  • Rootlessness” in a Suburban Community
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 2 [Special Issue – January 2012] Alternative Landscapes and “Rootlessness” in a Suburban Community Elgin L. Klugh, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Social Sciences Coppin State University 2500 W. North Avenue Baltimore, MD 21045 USA Abstract This paper explores ways that different communities of stakeholders conceptualize the same geographical space as home, and specific strategies employed to counter feelings of rootlessness associated with development and demographic change. The geographic space of reference for this research is the Tamarack Triangle community of Silver Spring, Maryland. Prior to this iteration of community and landscape existed the semi-rural African American community of Smithville. Through the preservation of the Smithville School, and the utilization of Internet technology (i.e. Facebook), stakeholder communities preserve landscapes of memory and provide each other a sense of mooring to counter feelings of rootlessness. Keywords: Community, Facebook, Home, Landscape, Rootlessness, Memory, Rootedness 1. Introduction Many suburban communities are inhabited by residents with no historical connection to the place where they live. Thus, efforts to preserve memories of, and/or historic landmarks in, these communities are often initiated by dispersed populations that refer to the particular community as home. However, the home that they refer to often existed in a different era wherein the community resembled little of its present form or population. Such is the situation exampled by the Tamarack Triangle community of Silver Spring, Maryland, The Tamarack Triangle neighborhood is a single-family home development located on the eastern edge of the unincorporated Colesville community. Colesville is but one of the several communities that make up the larger area known as Silver Spring, Maryland.
