I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can” -Babe Ruth 4 Abstract Like no other athlete before or since, Babe Ruth’s popularity has endured long after his playing days ended. His name has entered the popular lexicon, where “Ruthian” is a synonym for a superhuman feat, and other greats are referred to as the “Babe Ruth” of their field. Ruth’s name has even been attached to modern players, such as Shohei Ohtani, the Angels rookie known as the “Japanese Babe Ruth”. Ruth’s on field records and off-field antics have entered the realm of legend, and as a result, Ruth is often looked at as a sort of folk-hero. This thesis explains why Ruth is seen this way, and what forces led to the creation of the mythic figure surrounding the man.

  • Next Move Program, a Partnership with the National Scholastic Chess Foundation, to Introduce Chess in Schools and Communities
    The Broward County Schools and Communities Scholastic Chess Initiative NEYearX 1 TReportM – MayO 2015VE As part of its innovative teaching initiative, the Broward Education Foundation supports and promotes the Next Move program, a partnership with the National Scholastic Chess Foundation, to introduce chess in schools and communities. The study of chess improves concentration and self-discipline, encourages socialization skills that extend across cultures and generations, and en- hances development of critical thinking skills, a vital component for success in the 21st century. • The first step of the program is to have more peo- ple who can teach basic chess so that thousands of students can be introduced to the game. In the fall of 2014, NSCF created “Demystifying Chess: A Thinking Skills Workshop” to train educa- tors to teach the basics of chess at any grade level. The training includes two days of instruction plus additional online and text resources. Students in the chess club at New River Middle School can also participate in Coach Garcia’s chess lunch when he gets to play against the kids as well as have them play each other. Mr. Garcia, a 7th grade science teacher, says next year he will have to break the chess lunch pro- gram into two groups to meet demand! At New River Middle School, 7th grade science teacher Mateo Garcia started a club on Friday mornings before school. One 8th grade kid, a “soc- cer star,” was being teased for “joining the nerds” NSCF executive director and chess master Sunil Weera- but in just a few months has become one of the top mantry leads a class of 35 summer program teachers at players.

  • You Are the Body of Christ Preacher: Rev
    You are the Body of Christ Preacher: Rev. Lauren Lorincz Date: January 24, 2016 13:29 “You are the Body of Christ” Pilgrim Church UCC, January 24, 2016, (1 Corinthians 12:12-31a) Third Sunday after Epiphany Let’s go back to Game 6 of the 1986 World Series at Shea Stadium in Queens. The Mets are trailing the Red Sox 5-4 and are one out from finishing an amazing season with a disappointing loss. Mookie Wilson’s at the plate and Red Sox pitcher Bob Stanley throws a wild pitch to bring Kevin Mitchell home. All of a sudden, the Mets and the Sox are tied in the bottom of the 10th inning—and then comes the infamous moment. Wilson has a full count and hits a grounder up the first-base line. Bill Buckner, the veteran first baseman, hobbles to field this ground ball and reaches down too late. The ball bounces between his legs and rolls right behind him. Ray Knight rounds third base for the Mets and heads home—leaping with joy. The Mets tie the series at three games apiece and go on to win the 1986 World Series. The scapegoat for Boston sports fans became Bill Buckner. Some of you may be having flashbacks of anger, disappointment, heart palpitations, you name it just by hearing his name. And I understand—Cleveland fans have The Drive, The Fumble, and Red Right 88. What’s fascinating is when Red Sox fans recall the missed opportunities of the past, people don’t seem to speak as much about Bob Stanley’s wild pitch which brought in the runner on third before Mookie Wilson even hit that grounder to Bill Buckner.

  • 2008 BASEBALL PREVIEW the Planes Above, the Mets Below in ’64, Shea Was Like ‘Heaven’; Now It’S Hard to Find a Saving Grace
    2008 BASEBALL PREVIEW The Planes Above, the Mets Below In ’64, Shea Was Like ‘Heaven’; Now It’s Hard to Find a Saving Grace Ron Frehm/Associated Press Coneheads, inspired by the “Saturday Night Live” sketch, at a start by David Cone in 1988. More serious fans included Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, clapping in front row, center, during the 1969 World Series. The New York Times By BEN SHPIGEL Published: March 30, 2008 At Shea Stadium, five dollars sometimes covers the cost of a seat way at the top of the upper deck but not the Sherpa to lug the oxygen tanks. The view is comparable to that from the ubiquitous low-flying planes, whose passengers, if so inclined, could reach out the window and take a bite from your Italian sausage. Buying another one would involve navigating a concourse roughly the width of a coffee table and sidestepping the bathroom line that started forming five innings earlier. By any objective standard, Shea is bleak and outdated. It has not aged, shall we say, gracefully, its imperfections and architectural shortcomings growing more prominent over the years, particularly as glorious baseball-only parks have sprouted around the country. Those flaws are now magnified by Citi Field, the Mets’ new home in 2009, whose beatific presence beyond Shea’s right-center-field fence prompted Ron Darling, the SportsNet New York analyst and former Met, to make this comparison: “It’s like driving a VW bus with a Maserati in the lot.” Of the municipally owned, multipurpose, symmetrical eyesores that sprung up in the 1960s and early ’70s, Shea was the first to arrive, preceding those concrete monstrosities in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati and now, alas, it is one of the last to go; after this season, it will be dismantled to clear parking space for Citi Field.
