  • Innovative Lessons from the Miracle Mets of 1969: Part 3 of 3 March 17, 2020 | Written By: Len Ferman
    Published in General Innovative Lessons from the Miracle Mets of 1969: Part 3 of 3 March 17, 2020 | Written by: Len Ferman This is the final post in a 3 part series. Read the first two parts: Part 1 | Part 2 How the Worst Team in Baseball History Innovated to Win the World Series 50 Years Ago The New York Mets of 1969 The New York Mets baseball club of 1969 has come to be known as simply the Miracle Mets. The story of that club is perhaps the closest that major league baseball, or for that matter all of professional sports, has ever come to producing a true to life fairy tale. From Worst to First The Mets first season in 1962 was a record setting campaign in futility. The Mets lost 120 of their 160 games. No major league baseball team before or since has come close to losing that many games. And the losing didn’t stop there. From 1962 – 1968 the Mets lost an average of 105 games per year as they finished in last or second to last place every year. Then, in a stunning reversal of fortune, in that miracle year of 1969, when men first landed on the moon, the Mets won 100 games and won the World Series. The Players Credit Their Manager The players on the 1969 Mets all gave the credit for the amazing turnaround to their manager Gil Hodges. “We were managed by an infallible genius[i]”, said Tom Seaver, the club’s young star pitcher. And leading batter on the team, Clean Jones said, “If we had been managed by anybody else, we wouldn’t have won.

  • Conservation Corner by Corinne Peterson Pocahontas County Naturalist
    Conservation Corner By Corinne Peterson Pocahontas County Naturalist May 25, 2016 Spring is flying by! High above the nodding and blooming violet wildflowers, another small miracle of spring has arrived to spend the summer on our farm. Think color, nest, song, and baseball. If you guessed our summer visitors are a pair of Baltimore Orioles, you’re right. Or, as Edgar Fawcett described them, “a scrap of sunset with a voice.” Baltimore Orioles, Icterus galbula, are named for the Old World family Oriolidae, but though similar in looks they are not closely related. Instead, Baltimore Orioles are members of the Icteridae family of blackbirds and meadowlarks, medium-sized songbirds with thick necks, long legs, and the long, thick-based, pointed bills of all blackbirds that correspond to their diet of fruit, nectar, and insects. Baltimore Orioles are specifically named after the black and orange coat-of-arms of England’s Baltimore family. Adult males are the most flamboyant with their flame orange breast, solid black head, and one white wing bar. Females and immature males, meanwhile, have a yellow-orange breast, grayish head, and two white wing bars. Baltimore Orioles are known for their tightly woven hanging nests anchored high in the tree branches. Females weave the sock-like nest in three layers from materials such as grass, grapevine bark, wool, horsehair, twine, fishing line, or recycled materials from last year’s nest. Males don’t do any actual weaving but may occasionally help gather materials. Baltimore Orioles are also known for their song – a rich, whistling melody that may be heard echoing across the tops of leafy deciduous trees.
