  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, May 19, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, May 19, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle After terrible start, have the Giants turned the corner? Henry Schulman At long last, the sun has broken through the fog at 24 Willie Mays Plaza. It took until Mother’s Day, but the Giants finally found a way to play winning baseball. Giants fans could not be blamed if they took winning for granted. Their team had done a lot of it over the past eight seasons. Then came 2017, which started with them blowing a ninth-inning lead on Opening Day and losing at Arizona, a bleak harbinger for the local nine. The first quarter of the season, which the Giants completed Tuesday, looked like the start of an annus horribilis on and off the field for a team that was crowned a dynasty after winning the 2010, 2012 and 2014 World Series. The usual spring optimism turned to disbelief as many of the faithful and others within the game wondered if the Giants’ championship window had slammed shut. The view is a lot crisper now for the Giants, who won five games in a row before their streak was broken Wednesday. As recently as last week, they had the worst record of the 30 major- league teams at 12-24. “We had a six-week stretch that has been, if you combine on the field and off the field, like no other,” Giants President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Baer said. The losses on the field were only part of the misery. 1 The Giants were smacked with a numbing array of injuries.

  • Catalogue Covers Through the Years
    Catalogue Covers Through The Years Dear Good Tidings Supporters, We thank you for your continuous generosity and support towards our mission, and we hope you enjoy our annual Auction Catalogue and Yearbook. This year, we entered into our 25th year as a children’s charity where we completed our 200th project - an indoor court with the Warriors and Steph Curry for the West Contra Costa Salesian Boys & Girls Club in Richmond. We are proud of the partnerships we have built and the impact that we have had on the marginalized youth across Northern California and beyond. To celebrate our milestone, we have created an updated Good Tidings brand and re-designed our website. We hope you take the time to check it out! Since 1995, we have completed 204 projects, granted $1.6 million in scholarships to high school seniors, and donated over 55,000 toys. Last year, we hosted our first Winter Wonderland. At our event, we saw the gratitude on the families’ faces and the generosity that the kids displayed when they picked out toys not only for themselves but to gift to their siblings and friends. We heard at our 1st Annual Scholarship Summit that our scholarship gives the winners hope to break out of their family’s poverty cycle by providing them the confidence to pursue their dreams. This year, our outreach spread from Sacramento to Los Angeles, renovating and gifting new indoor courts, an art studio, a teen center, a Makerspace, and a sand volleyball court. Through all of our projects, our mission is to support the growth of the most deserving youth by creating environments for athletics, artistic activities, education, and wonder.

  • Cincinnati Reds'
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings May 9, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1973-Johnny Bench ties a major league record with his fourth home run in four consecutive at-bats MLB.COM Though inefficient, Davis has a shot in Cincy By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | 1:00 AM ET + 6 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- Through five Major League starts, including Monday's 10-4 loss to the Yankees, Reds pitcher Rookie Davis has averaged 82 pitches per game. That doesn't seem like a ton of pitches until you notice that Davis has yet to reach the sixth inning. Davis lasted 4 1/3 innings vs. New York and gave up five runs (four earned) on seven hits, three walks and four strikeouts while throwing 91 pitches -- 55 for strikes. "I know as a starter, anything less than six innings, to me, is unacceptable," Davis said. "I haven't been able to do that this year. I'm going to put a huge emphasis on pounding the strike zone with all pitches and just compete. That's all I can do." Reds starters were 5-0 with a 1.72 ERA over their five-game winning streak, which was snapped with Monday's loss. One of those games belonged to Davis, who will get more opportunities to improve. There are currently no more attractive alternatives. Robert Stephenson, who threw three innings for a save on Saturday, is still trying to find consistency. Cody Reed, who struggled with command before being sent down, pitched for Triple-A Louisville on Monday and gave up three runs, four hits, two walks and a homer in 2 2/3 innings.
