Fly-By-Night Baseball Association News Around The March 15, 2021 FLY-BY-NIGHT BASEBALL ASSOCIATION Vol. 48, Issue 8 Founded in 1974 by David Smith 48 th Season 1974 2021 Commissioner Rob Bruno. Presidents - American League Ed Griffin - National League Bob Figella NEWS AROUND THE LEAGUE: Ed Griffin completed his “INSIDE THE FBN” and for FBN teams it’s a must read. This is edition #20 for Ed. In the first 19 years he’s predicted correctly 76% of the time. “I miss about two a year, said Griffin. Usually it’s the bubble teams that are tough to judge or It’s because I don’t follow my basic rule, don’t include Klee’s!” Below are his predictions: NATIONAL LEAGUE 1) Wall Street - 2) Taxachusets - 3) Allyn Street - 4) Maine - 5) Foggymountain - 6) Hazardville 7) Connecticut 8) Illinois - 9) US Jarheads - 10) Klee's - 11) Burlington - 12) Norwich Before the opening series at Kate Elizabeth Park, manager Jeff Kent put something on the team’s bulletin board. “The NL is much better this year and very interesting. I think the top five teams…all good but aside from Wall Street they all have some holes. Jarheads will crush the ball... but the pitching is horrid!!!” US 9th place!! I think Kemp was trying to get under their skin. As the Jarheads all slapped that message on the bulletin board as they ran out of the locker room and onto the field. All with one thing on their minds, VICTORY. The Jarheads gave it a go but went out and lost the opener, 3-1. US surrendered all of the runs Wall St. needed in the 2nd inning when Wall Street came up with 3 runs on 3 hits. US out hit Wall St. 5-4 but could only score 1 run. After game one Kemp reminder the team that Parris Island was not that far away. If anyone wanted to visit all they had to do was hit like they did in game 1. That did the trick as the Jarheads had 12 hits. But, the Barrons had 15 and had the lead 11-6 going to the bottom of the 8 th inning. Mike Trout had had a big day at the plate. He caught a hold of a fastball for a Grand Slam homerun in the 3rd inning, banged out a single in the 7th inning. Trout slapped a base-hit in the 8th inning as the Jarheads mounted a monster rally in the bottom of the 8th scoring 6 runs to take a 12-11 lead. Wall St. went down without a fight in the 9th. “I wasn’t going to have my day spoiled by having a team lose”, said Trout. In game three Brandon Woodruff pitched a complete game 2 hit shutout for the Jarheads. Woodruff k’ed 13 Barons. “I had good stuff in the pen,” said Woodruff. “I was hoping that I wasn’t going to leave it there.” I guess I didn’t because I threw the ball good from the first pitch on.” In game four, the Jarhead “horrid” pitching showed up as Wall Street easily topped the Jarheads 12-5. “We didn't appreciate the big day Ke'Bryan Hayes had as he clubbed a two-run home run in the 1st inning, doubled in the 3rd inning and doubled clearing the bases in the 4th inning”, said Kemp. “I’ve got to find a pitcher that will throw inside once in a while. You’ve got to move the guy off the plate. Make him uncomfortable. You know, like Gibson would do.” When Hayes was asked about his day he said, “It was just all timing. I had pretty good rhythm at the plate tonight. You've got to take advantage of their mistakes when you can. A couple pitches were definitely up a little bit - right in my zone.” Kemp, “What did I tell ya, to comfortable!” AMERICAN LEAGUE 1)Milford - 2) Lake Wobegon - 3) Louisville - 4) Hotlanta -5) California - 6) Atlanta - 7) Blue Grass - 8) Yorktown 9) Alpharetta - 10) Urpaign - 11) Arsenal - 12) New Hampshire The Yorktown Admirals had the honor to host Opening Day in the American League. The Admirals were known as the “West Jeff Jerks” during the beginning of the FBN. In the first PMB season in 1975, the Jerks finished 95-67, 1 game behind Steve Walters and his Galactic Gladiators in the National League. In the post- season, the Jerks took round one 3 games to 1. They moved into the NL Championship to face Galactic. The Jerks surprised everyone but themselves by sweeping Galactic 3 games to none. In the first FBN World Series they beat Montana 4 games to 1. The West Jeff team went off to college in 1983. When Merk returned in 1986, he was awarded an American League expansion team. He formed the Yorktown Admirals and built a park to honor the Yorktown, its crew and its skipper, the Chester W. Nimitz Memorial Park. After hoisting the original FBN Banner from 1975, the Admirals started 2021 with a sweep over Arsenal. “'It was a lot of fun out there, said veteran, Matt Kemp. To have some of the original Jerks on hand it was amazing. The fans really got into the series early. They gave us a lot of support.” When we asked Merk about the day he said, “We got the victory’s, one at a time. Tomorrow night it’s Urpaign. We both start with 0-0 as the score. Let’s see how that night goes”, said Merk. Some of the original West Jeff Jerks from the 1975 World Series Champions attended the game. Infielders, Steve Garvey, Dave Lopes, Bill Russell and Ron Cey. Pete Rose, Jose Cardenal and Willie Davis who patrolled the outfield. Barry Foote who did the catching. Starting Pitchers were: Buzz Capra, Tommy John, Ron Schueler. The late Don Wilson’s wife was on hand too. Bullpen included Ramon Hernandez, Ken Forsch and Jim Todd. Note: The Admirals went out and took 3 of 4 from Urpaign to start the season at 7-1. Hogs open at home... 1-0 against Arsenal as Zack Godley led the way! Walk off hit by Rendon knocking in Bogaerts! “Well, that’s it.The season is over right”, said Ed Griffin. “What? Another 161 games to go! I was hoping the season had ended after the win.” Gunners cameback to win next 3....NH 1-3 at home. Louisville visits Hotlanta as both teams start the season. In game 4, Hotlanta’s Triston McKenzie out pitched Louisville’s Shane Bieber in a 3-1 game. McKenie had a no-hitter going to the 6 th inning when Adalberto Mondesi singled with two outs to break up the no hit bid. McKenzie after the game: “I felt I had to be perfect out their today. Did you see what Bieber was doing?” Louisville’s Bieber had 17 K’s in 7.1 IP in the losing effort. The teams split the series. MLB MONITORING THE FBN Bud Drapeau noticed that MLB had been monitoring the FBN emails and it apparently agrees with some of the FBN members in terms of bringing back old time baseball. “MLB has lagged behind the FBN on a number of items. We’ve had the dh in both leagues years before MLB will finally do it. Plus, we had wild card teams before MLB decided to implement it. That’s just two items off the top of my head”, said Drapeau. Here are the changes planned for use in different levels of mlb in 2021. Larger bases, 15 in to 18 in, a requirement that pitchers must step off the rubber to attempt a pickoff, a limit of two pickoff attempts per plate appearance, a 15-second pitch clock and an automatic ball-strike system. When Baron manager, Earl Weaver heard about the automatic ball-strike system he said “Let's get the automated umps in the FBN. Barons walked 22 in opening series - "the umps were squeezing us!" said Weaver. Photo of Weaver show the home plate ump the actual size of home plate. TRANSACTIONS: 1.

I am honored to have become a part of the proud tradition of academic excellence and accessibility that Metro State has established. It is significant that as you complete your education at Metro State, the College is in the midst of its 40th anniversary, a cause for reflection on where we began and optimism for what we can become. Starting from very humble beginnings in 1965, Metro State now boasts more than 56,300 graduates and 22,000 current students, all of whom, through their tenacity, energy and intelligence, are helping put Metro State on the map. Here are but a few examples of their achievements: • Bill Pickle, who graduated in 1975, is the U.S. Senate Sergeant-at-Arms. As such, he oversees the operation of the Senate and 900 employees. • Lori Beckman, class of 1985, is director of security for Denver International Airport and is responsible for the access and security of the terminal, airfield and surrounding 34,000 acres.

  • Wrigley Always Was Tough Homecoming for Capra by George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, April 19, 2016 Buzz Capra Finally Has Come Home, Permanently
    Wrigley always was tough homecoming for Capra By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, April 19, 2016 Buzz Capra finally has come home, permanently. But that process was oh-so-hard when he was a big deal, the local boy wanting to make good in base- ball, back in the 1970s. Capra, now 68 and a Hoffman Es- tates resident, has settled into a routine of coaching kids at Elite Sports Training on Randall Road in St. Charles. None of his students, though, likely know how hyped his grand entrance was on Wednesday, Buzz Capra (left) with Cubs radio voice Pat Hughes at May 24, 1972 at Wrigley Field as January's Pitch and Hit Club Banquet. starting pitcher for the New York Mets. Not too many Chicago products make it to the big leagues. Even in the mid-20th centu- ry, a bulk of big leaguers came from the Sunbelt, where they could hone their skills year -round. Yet here was Capra, product of Lane Tech High School and Illinois State Uni- versity, trying to crack a rotation with big names and big fastballs like Tom Seaver, Jer- ry Koosman and Jon Matlack. He certainly had the recommendation of the Mets’ farm director of that time – Whitey Herzog. “It’s nerve-wracking,” Capra recalled. “They always gave me the big buildup here, no matter what team I was playing for. But especially the Mets, because of the rivalry with the Cubs. I could hardly sleep the night before (at the family home in the Belmont- Austin neighborhood on the Northwest).

REPRESENTATIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN ON REALITY TELEVISION AFTER THE GREAT RECESSION by STEVEN K. HERRO Under the Direction of Marian Meyers, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This project is animated by two related probLems. First, there are reLativeLy few studies of the ways that African American women are represented on reaLity teLevision. Second, the current Literature about representations of BLack women on reality television compLetely ignores the Great Recession as an important contextual factor. In this study, I pair the Constant Comparative Method of textuaL anaLysis with discourse analysis to answer the question: “How does reaLity teLevision represent African American women in terms of gender, race, and cLass in the context of the aftermath of the Great Recession?” I closeLy anaLyzed reaLity teLevision programs with the highest ratings in 2012: The Voice, American Idol, Survivor, The Biggest Loser, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta. To better understand how Black wom- en are represented on these shows, I contextualize my analysis in terms of intersectionality, post-racism, post-sexism, and neoLiberaLism.
