  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: MINOR LEAGUE
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IN THE CITY: AN URBAN BALLPARK AND REDEVELOPMENT AROUND THE HOBOKEN TERMINAL. Matthew Robert Ponsi Master of Architecture, 2009 Directed By: Professor Matthew Bell, School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation This thesis explores the necessity to develop the area around the Hoboken Terminal into a regional attraction. The site is targeted as a “focal point for development” to become “more of a destination” and a “gateway” for the city. Although boasting ideal accessibility and panoramic views of Manhattan, the area exists as a gap along the Hudson River waterfront. It should be a social destination, a Transit-Oriented Development, and a link between the two expanding neighborhoods. Anchoring the plan will be a minor league ballpark just south of the Hoboken Terminal in Jersey City. This ballpark will serve as a year-round magnet for regional activity and as a cultural attraction adjacent to associated mixed use, residential, and recreational development. It will explore how a stadium should define and be defined by its urban environment and the role it should play in the context of the city.

The school districts of North ABrunswick, Old Bridge and Perth Amboy were among seven in New Jersey that were sued by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) for alleged dis­ criminatory practices against immigrant families attempting to enroll their children in school. The seven districts all required a gov­ ernment-issued photo ID as a condition of enrollment, contrary to established law, ac­ cording to an ACLU-NJ release. The lawsuits, which were announced June 2, asked the courts to halt the allegedly unconstitutional school registration require­ ments immediately. However. Allison Pelt/man, senior com­ munications specialist for the ACLU-NJ, said this week that the organization dropped its case against Old Bridge and North Brunswick after both districts were brought into compliance with the laws. “This was a miscommunication and not a noncompliance issue with North Brunswick,” said Brian Zychowski, super­ STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER FRIC SUCAR Lakewood BlueClaws pitching coach Les Lancaster greets fans before a game against the Delmarva Shorebirds at FirstEnergy Park In intendent of the North Brunswick district.

I Don't Care If I Ever Get Back: Marathons Lasting 20 or More Innings Abstract This article looks at marathon games of baseball. For purposes of this article, a marathon is defined as a game lasting 20 or more innings. In my research I have discovered 341 marathons. These games are hard to find. Leagues either keep no records, or keep track only of their longest game; only the Texas League keeps records on all marathons. Nobody has ever before explored such questions as: What is the probability a game will go x number of innings? How often should we expect a marathon of 20 or more innings, or 40 or more innings? What is the probability the 26-inning major league record will be broken this year? Which is “rarer,” the 26-inning major league record, 33-inning minor league record, or 45-inning “other” category record? In this article we’ll answer these questions.
