It opened to foot traffic April 23. The bridge spans I-40 near Harvey Avenue. It is 380 feet long, 20 feet wide and 192 feet tall. The design was inspired by Oklahoma's state bird, the scissor-tailed flycatcher.

Norick Downtown Library Serving the downtown workforce as a business information center and the inner-city neighborhoods as a community library is the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library — a cerebral core of its revitalized community. Architecturally, the building steps down from a four-level height at the east end to two levels at the west, providing a much-needed transition from the business district office towers on one side to the smaller- scaled Works Progress Administration-era civic buildings on the other. Off-white insulated metal panels serve as a transitional element between the modern office towers and the streamlined Art Deco limestone lines of the civic plaza. At the east end, the building opens into a monumental, curving, four- level atrium, offering a grand public gathering space with stunning views of the city’s skyline. From the atrium, a narrower, spine-like atrium follows through the building as it steps toward the west, serving as a unique symbolic axis. Funded by a temporary, one-cent sales tax as part of the Metropolitan Area Projects approved by city voters in 1993, the facility replaced the former Downtown Library, which was located at Dean A. McGee and Robinson avenues. OKC Museum of Art CHIHULY – Composed of 2,000 individually blown glass parts, held together by a seven piece steel armature or spine with 2,000 individual forks. Galaxy "Galaxy" is a 14-ton monumental sculpture by Alexander Liberman that reaches 45 feet in height and 27 feet in width. Composed of 14 elliptical hollow forms painted in "Liberman Red" that soar to one single point, it was constructed at the artist's studio in Connecticut and brought to Oklahoma City on three flatbed trucks. The sculpture was commissioned by Leadership Properties, Inc., in order to expand cultural growth and to provide an exciting environment for those who work in the area. It was presented to the public on February 8, 1984. And Jesus Wept Behind St. Joseph Old Cathedral the monument "And Jesus Wept" acts as a shrine or memorial for the 168 men, women, and children who lost their lives in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing on April 19, 1995. Inspiration for the piece is drawn from John 11, the shortest verse of the bible where Jesus is seen weeping over the loss of his dead friend Lazarus. The monument was dedicated by the Most Revered Eusebius J. Beltran, Archbishop of Oklahoma City, and Reverend Louis J. Lamb, Pastor of Saint Joseph Old Cathedral on April 19, 1998, three years after the attack. ~ 5 ~ April 25, 2014 [LANDRUNNERS BRISK-WALK TOUR] OKC Memorial Marathon NW 5th & Harvey – West side of the OKC National Memorial Race Start Line OKC National Memorial In one of the most devastating acts of domestic terrorism on American soil, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed. Constructed in 1977 and containing regional government offices, it was sheared by a massive explosion at 9:02 a.m. April 19, 1995. One significant element is the use of the memorial chairs — conceptualized in honor of the 168 people who were killed — and handcrafted from glass, bronze and stone. Granite panels on which the survivors’ names are etched were salvaged from the Murrah Building, as were the stones that make up the granite path surrounding the field of empty chairs. But the most striking element is the twin bronze gates that serve as the entrance, bridged by a reflecting pool. Outside each gate appears this inscription: We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity. Vigil One of the original parts of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that survived the bombing on April 19, 1995.

The two histories are very different from each other, as Bricktown used to be an abandoned warehouse district and Deep Deuce was the cultural epicenter for African American music and culture, particularly jazz music. Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark Home of the OKC Redhawks, Triple A farm team of the Houston Astros. Mickey Mantle Mickey Charles Mantle, named after Hall of Fame catcher Mickey Cochrane, was born in Spavinaw, Oklahoma on October 20, 1931. A short four years later, his family moved to Commerce, Oklahoma, where he played football, basketball, and of course, baseball. Raised in a baseball family, Mickey would hit right-handed off of his left-handed father, and then bat left-handed off of his right-handed grandfather. After surviving a life-threatening infection from a football injury, Mickey signed to a minor league contract with the Class-D Independence Yankees after graduation in 1948. In 1950 he was promoted to the Class-C Joplin Miners where he won the batting title, with a .383 batting average, 26 home runs, and 136 RBIs. Finally, in 1951 Mantle was assigned to the New York Yankees where he went on to have one of the most prolific baseball careers of all time. Despite a career plagued with injuries, Mantle finished third on the all-time home run list with 536. Additionally, Mantle won the Triple Crown in 1956, received three Most Valuable Player Awards, played in nineteen All-Star games, and won seven World Series. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1964, the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974, and selected to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER 1 Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed King Arthur’s quest for it in the Middle Ages became a large part of his legend. Monty Python and Indiana Jones launched their searches in popular 1974 and 1989 movies. The mythic quest for the Holy Grail, the name given in Western tradition to the chal- ice used by Jesus Christ at his Passover meal the night before his death, is now often a metaphor for a quintessential search. In the illustrious history of baseball, the “holy grail” is a ranking of each player’s overall value on the baseball diamond. Because player skills are multifaceted, it is not clear that such a ranking is possible. In comparing two players, you see that one hits home runs much better, whereas the other gets on base more often, is faster on the base paths, and is a better fielder. So which player should rank higher? In Baseball’s All-Time Best Hitters, I identified which players were best at getting a hit in a given at-bat, calling them the best hitters. Many reviewers either disapproved of or failed to note my definition of “best hitter.” Although frequently used in base- ball writings, the terms “good hitter” or best hitter are rarely defined. In a July 1997 Sports Illustrated article, Tom Verducci called Tony Gwynn “the best hitter since Ted Williams” while considering only batting average.
