  • A's News Clips, Thursday, August 25, 2011 Coco Crisp's Second
    A’s News Clips, Thursday, August 25, 2011 Coco Crisp's second home run of the night gives A's extra-inning win over New York Yankees By Joe Stiglich NEW YORK -- The seventh inning rolled around, and Trevor Cahill was still pitching for the A's, a victory in itself given his past demons at Yankee Stadium. But it got better for the A's on Wednesday. They came from behind to take the lead, coughed it up and then pulled through in 10 innings for a 6-4 victory over the New York Yankees before a crowd of 47,271. In taking the first two of a three-game set, the A's snapped a string of 10 consecutive series lost to the Yankees, an Oakland record for most series lost in a row to any team. The A's hadn't even won consecutive games against New York since June 30-July 1, 2007, but manager Bob Melvin hoped his team wasn't satisfied leading into Thursday's series finale. "You win the first two, you gotta try to get greedy," Melvin said. "(But) it's a nice start to what is a tough road trip." Center fielder Coco Crisp earned top billing on a night when Oakland had several stars. He went 4 for 4 with two homers, including a go-ahead three-run shot off Rafael Soriano (2-2) in the 10th, and tied his career high with five RBIs. Third baseman Scott Sizemore enjoyed the first four-hit game of his career, and lefty reliever Brian Fuentes delivered a clutch outing, entering with men on the corners and no outs in the seventh and stranding both runners, keeping the A's within one run at the time.

    Lawrence Peter Berra was born on May 12, 1925. He played Major League Baseball for 19 years for the New York Yankees. He played on 10 World Series Championship teams, is a MLB Hall of Famer and has some awe-inspiring stats. His name is consistently brought up as one of the best catchers in baseball history, and he was voted to the Team of the Century in 1999. Amazing accomplishments aside, they probably aren't how you know Lawrence. You know him as Yogi, a nickname given to him by a friend who likened his cross-legged sitting to a yogi. Yogi is famous for his fractured English, and sometimes nonsensical quotes, but there seems to be no end to his fan's love for him. Here are 25 Yogi Berra quotes that will make you shake your head and smile. 1. "It's like deja vu all over again." 2. "We made too many wrong mistakes." 3. "You can observe a lot just by watching." 4. "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore." 5. "He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious." 6. "If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be." 7. "If you don't know where you're going, you might end up some place else." 8. Responding to a question about remarks attributed to him that he did not think were his: "I really didn't say everything I said." 9. "The future ain't what it used to be." 10. "I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house." 11.

  • Fact Or Fiction? Name: Below Is a Biography On
    Fact or Fiction? Name: _________________________ Below is a biography on Amelia Earhart. On the following page is a chart with ten statements. Indicate whether each statement is fact or fiction. Bad Behavior George Herman "Babe Ruth" was born February 6, 1895, in Baltimore, Maryland. His parents owned a saloon near the current site of Camden Yards in Baltimore. They were of German descent and taught him to speak German fluently. George was actually somewhat of a petty criminal as a young boy. By age seven he was already involved in drinking alcohol and chewing tobacco. Because he was too difficult for his parents to control, George was sent away to a catholic school. It was here, where Brother Matthias taught him baseball. As a teenager, George became the team's catcher and then pitcher. Unusual Talent At the age of 19 Jack Dunn, a scout for the Orioles discovered George's baseball talents. He was promptly signed to pitch for the Orioles. After performing well as a pitcher and a batter for the Orioles during spring training, George made the team. Because he was such a young talent, he earned the nickname "Babe". On April 22, 1914, Babe pitched a shutout against the Buffalo Bisons in his Major-League debut. Because the Orioles were in poor financial shape, Jack Dunn was forced to sell off his best players. Babe was sold to the Boston Red Sox in 1914 for an amount between $20,000 and $35,000. Called up to the Majors After pitching for the Red Sox minor league club in Providence, Rhode Island, Babe was called up to the majors permanently toward the end of the 1914 baseball season.
