    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov. 5, 2018 Billy Beane named MLB Executive of the Year OAKLAND, Calif. – Oakland A’s Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations, Billy Beane, has been named the 2018 MLB Executive of the Year. This is the first year this official award has been bestowed by MLB. The A’s finished the 2018 season with a 97-65 record—fourth best in baseball—after finishing last in the AL West each of the previous three seasons. The club reached the postseason for the fourth time in the last seven years despite losing 21 players—including nine starting pitchers—to the disabled list. Beane has been named Major League Executive of the Year by Baseball America two times (2002; 2013) and The Sporting News Executive of the Year twice as well (1999; 2012). He also earned MLB.com’s Greatness in Baseball Yearly (GIBBY) Award as the 2012 MLB Executive of the Year and the 2012 Legacy Awards’ Rube Foster Award as AL Executive of the Year, presented by the Negro League Baseball Museum. Under his watch, the A’s have compiled a 1793-1607 (.527) record over the last 21 years, which is the fourth-best record in the American League and seventh best in all of baseball during that time frame. The A’s have six American League West titles (2000; 2002-03; 2006; 2012-13) and have secured three AL Wild Card spots (2001; 2014; 2018) during that span. His teams have posted 90 or more wins in nine of the last 19 years. The A’s nine postseason appearances since the 2000 season are sixth most among all Major League teams, trailing only New York-AL (15), St.

    Oral history narrative from a joint program with Hillsborough County and the Florida Center for Community Design and Research Little Moon Lake The following narrative is drawn from an interview with Malcolm “Bunny” Mick, a Little Moon Lake resident for over 20 years. An avid fisherman who goes out on the lake three to four times a week, Bunny was able to share his knowledge of the lake’s current condition, as well as its history. Personal History Bunny Mick has lived a fulfilling and interesting life. Being in high school when the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred, Bunny joined the military upon Malcolm "Bunny" Mick (USF) graduation to serve in World War II. While serving, the New York Yankees scouted the young baseball player, who was signed immediately following his release from the military in 1945. Bunny recalled: “I got out December 1st, 1945 and within 30 or 40 days, the Yankees signed me. I played in the Yankee organization for ten years and was kind of back up center fielder behind Joe DiMaggio, the great center fielder. I won three minor league batting titles in three different leagues trying to get his job, but he was the best player I ever saw and I never did really get a good shot at it.” Bunny continued to work in baseball; taking pleasure in the lifestyle and benefits the industry provided him. Despite never beating out Joe DiMaggio, View of lake from the Boy Scout Camp (USF) Bunny enjoyed a secure and happy career, playing and coaching baseball for the majority of his adult life.

WASECA County News (Ring) p. 8 Confident Randy Rosario wants to show Twins he's ready for the majors La Velle E. Neal III | Star Tribune | June 6, 2017 ANAHEIM, CALIF. – Although he began the season touring the Southern League, Randy Rosario believed he was major league material. “I was ready for it,” the 23-year-old, newly recalled Twins lefthander said. “I was waiting for it. I was saying to myself, ‘Randy, just be ready for it.’ ” Confidence is one characteristic that jumps out with Rosario. He is bright, has worked hard to learn English and made a quick transition to the bullpen after making 55 starts in the minors from the time he was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2010 until the middle of last season. It also helps to have a fastball that can reach 94 miles per hour and a wipeout slider. That will give you confidence, too — and encourage a team like the Twins to give a Class AA pitcher a chance in the majors.
