Heroes and Rallies Baseball
Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

Chase Utley, Ruben Tejada, and the Long History of the Mets Avenging Injustices by Eric Trager
MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds Chase Utley, Ruben Tejada, and the Long History of the Mets Avenging Injustices by Eric Trager Oct 1, 2015 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Eric Trager Eric Trager was the Esther K. Wagner Fellow at The Washington Institute. Articles & Testimony early 48 hours later, Mets fans are still reeling. Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley's filthy, far-to-the-right- N of-the-bag slide into Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada during Saturday night's playoff game ended Tejada's postseason and could end his career, while the umpires' boobish mishandling of the ruling on the field cost the Mets the game. So when the best-of-five series resumes in Flushing with Game 3 on Monday night, Mets fans will demand two things: redemption in the form of victory, and justice for Tejada in the form of a fastball right at Utley's backside (Utley himself has been suspended for two games but, with his appeal pending, is expected to play tonight). In sports mythology, these two things are linked. Every good sports fable foretells that the Mets will rally to avenge Utley's hit on Tejada, unite behind whichever pitcher plunks Utley (or some other unfortunate Dodger), and then destroy the Dodgers on sheer adrenaline. And that is precisely what would happen in a just world. But as Mets fans know quite well, the world is extremely unjust -- and justice has been elusive almost every time a Met has sought it. Take, for example, an incident during the Mets inaugural season in 1962, when Giants great Willie Mays spiked Mets shortstop Elio Chacon while sliding into second base.

OVERTURE This, the fifth volume of THE CALY X, is thrust upon an over credulous and unsuspecting student body (credulous as to our ability and unsuspecting as to our lack of it) with fear and trembling. We have violated the eleventh commandment-we have been found out-and our sin will ever be held before us by those who trusted us. Consider, however, that the editors are taking their first fling at publishing a college annual and that the management is sadly crippled by the financial burden left upon the stu dents by the football season, and let these facts, to some extent, stifle crit icism and mitigate the horrors of this book.
