Gameabove-EMU & Mr. October Foundation Celebrate Expanded FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GameAbove-EMU & Mr. October Foundation Celebrate Expanded STEM Efforts for Young Women and Men in Detroit Schools GameAbove Donations to STEM Education Reaches over $800,000 in Just Two Years DETROIT, Mich. (May 13, 2021) – GameAbove at Eastern Michigan University and the Mr. October Foundation are celebrating a collaborative effort to expand STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education within Detroit area schools to encourage more girls and boys, particularly from disadvantaged areas, to enter technology-related careers. GameAbove funds assisted the Foundation in expanding its program this past school year. As a result, the group introduced the Foundation to Eastern Michigan University to spearhead a joint effort through the Digital Divas and Digital Dudes programs, which provide various learning opportunities for middle and high school students to build their STEM skills and knowledge while also expose youth to the college campus experience in hopes of improving high school graduation rates. For this upcoming 2021-2022 K-12 school year, GameAbove will again contribute $250,000 to the Mr. October Foundation to continue bringing STEM education to young women and men in the area. Since January 2020, GameAbove contributions to STEM K-12 education outreach now reach over $800,000. “STEM is a clear pathway to college, especially for underserved communities and for children of color. In addition, given the projected demand for future workers with STEM-related degrees, it’s important – now more than ever – to reach out to our youth and inspire them into these careers. GameAbove is extremely pleased to be supporting the expansion of the success demonstrated by the Mr. October Foundation and Digital Divas & Dudes,” said Kristin Young, a GameAbove advisory board member who has utilized her technology degree from EMU to advance her own career and be an active STEM outreach volunteer. The collaborative effort will be celebrated later this month with a gathering of supporters, school officials and other dignitaries at a Detroit area school served by the Mr. October Foundation. The presentation and discussion will highlight, among other factors, how the STEM effort helped students rise above the challenges faced during the pandemic. “More Detroit youth have definitely benefited this past year from our collaboration with GameAbove and Eastern Michigan University,” said Reggie Jackson, founder of the Mr. October Foundation and Hall of Fame baseball player whose career meant playing games in Detroit and visiting the region. “The importance of bringing STEM into our inner cities was even greater this past year, given the educational obstacles faced by children during the pandemic.” Because of COVID-19 related school closures, EMU’s K-12 STEM programs and the Mr. October Foundation expanded its focus this past year on delivering hundreds of project kits to provide students with hands-on experiences for STEM pathways as well as provide specialized online sessions. “The support we receive – combined with the enthusiastic mentoring and encouragement of our program leaders – has enabled us to maintain our momentum with young men and women in Game Above/ 2 spite of the pandemic’s many challenges,” said Bia Hamed, K-12 STEM Outreach Director at the EMU GameAbove College of Engineering and Technology. “Not only are we recruiting more young women into STEM college courses and getting them excited about careers in highly sought after jobs, we are also providing a clear vision for young men toward high school graduation and onto college.” Over the past 18 months, GameAbove has donated more than $20 million to academic, athletic and supportive programs at Eastern Michigan University and the surrounding community. Previously announced gifts included $3.5 million to EMU toward the “GameAbove, Faculty First” initiative to support faculty development and the “Students Matter Most” grant to assist the academic and program needs of current and future students, as well as a recent $5 million gift to the college of engineering and technology. ## About GameAbove At GameAbove, our primary focus is to help shape, inspire and support the current and future students of Eastern Michigan University by reaching new heights in learning through transformation and inspiration in the educational experience. Together, we will strive for that next level of success with a GameAbove all others. The GameAbove family of organizations will also help improve the higher education experience by exploring and supporting the use of innovative financial models to sustain universities, creative giving within the community, enhancing the campus environment, elevating athletics, and promoting pioneering academic programs. www.gameabove.com About The Mr. October Foundation The Mr. October Foundation was founded in 1997 by Reginald Martinez “Reggie” Jackson with the goal of helping to bridge the “digital divide” for the benefit of disadvantaged kids whose circumstances hamper their ability to achieve the goal of a good education.

  • 'Yankee Miracles' Author Ray Negron to Sign at Empire City Casino Nov. 5 Longtime Yankees Advisor, Community Relations Leader
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Taryn Duffy 914-457-2431 [email protected] John Cirillo 914-260-7436 [email protected] 'Yankee Miracles' Author Ray Negron To Sign At Empire City Casino Nov. 5 Longtime Yankees Advisor, Community Relations Leader October 19, 2012 – In 1973, young Ray Negron's life changed forever when, while spray painting graffiti on the outside of Yankee Stadium, he was caught by none other than Principal Owner George Steinbrenner. Rather than turn in the 18- year-old Queens youth to police, the Boss gave Ray a job as Yankees batboy, to pay off the cost of the damages. Given the second chance, Negron thrived. Now he tells his amazing story, which includes close friendships with some of the game's greatest stars and personalities (Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson and Billy Martin, to name a few) as well as a career as a community leader and Yankees advisor, in his new book Yankee Miracles, which recently reached the top spot for both new biographies and baseball books on the Amazon.com list. On Monday, November 5, Negron will meet fans, pose for photographs and sign copies of Yankee Miracles at Empire City Casino (810 Yonkers Ave., Yonkers, N.Y.) from 6-7 p.m., open to the public. Then from 7-9 p.m. he will conduct a special reading and Q&A session at an elite dinner event in the casino's Good Time Room. The antithesis of Ball Four or The Bronx Zoo in tone, Yankee Miracles does not dwell on steroids, drug use, or scandals, but creates a portrait of baseball that is unapologetically affectionate told by someone, a baseball insider, who was given a very unique second chance.

  • A Geographical Look at Home Runs
    Academic Forum 24 2006-07 A Geographical Look at Home Runs Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper, we will look at career home runs for major league baseball players based on the state in which they were born. Major league baseball is known for its interesting statistics. There are multitudes of numbers and multitudes of ways of looking at the numbers. For some now-forgotten reason, I once started looking at home runs by the state of birth of the home run hitter. This chart gives home runs by state (including the District of Columbia). Consider the chart below, where “n” denotes the number of players born in that state who have hit at least one major league home run. [Note: All data comes from Lee Sinin's Sabermetric Baseball Encyclopedia .] HRs n HRs n HRs n Alabama 7985 153 Kentucky 2851 100 North Dakota 284 7 Alaska 71 5 Louisiana 4057 97 Ohio 10682 369 Arizona 876 32 Maine 262 23 Oklahoma 5090 105 Arkansas 3252 61 Maryland 4729 101 Oregon 2293 46 California 41790 894 Massachusetts 4314 217 Pennsylvania 13666 493 Colorado 414 27 Michigan 5057 149 Rhode Island 1093 30 Connecticut 1999 76 Minnesota 2505 62 South Carolina 3496 88 D.C. 600 35 Mississippi 3256 84 South Dakota 122 10 Delaware 563 18 Missouri 6882 234 Tennessee 3045 102 Florida 8984 163 Montana 198 9 Texas 11238 303 Georgia 5672 139 Nebraska 1137 46 Utah 170 11 Hawaii 202 15 Nevada 200 8 Vermont 540 17 Idaho 712 11 New Hampshire 301 20 Virginia 2624 95 Illinois 11504 393 New Jersey 3830 146 Washington 2952 68 Indiana 3601 129 New Mexico 664 9 West Virginia 1803 50 Iowa 1611 75 New York 13008 404 Wisconsin 2534 83 Kansas 1756 66 North Carolina 3507 168 Wyoming 244 6 Not surprisingly, California has both the most home runs and the most 45000 home run hitters.

During an illustri- ous career spent playing first for the Boston Red Sox (1914-19), then for the New York Yankees (1920-34), and finally for the Boston Braves (1935), Ruth appeared in 2503 games, belted 714 home runs, collected 2873 hits, knocked in 2211 runs, drew 2056 walks, and re- tired with a .342 batting average and an unparalleled .690 slugging average.2 Incredibly, before his powerful bat dictated moving him from the mound to the outfield, Ruth also compiled a 94-46 won- loss record and a 2.28 earned run average as a pitcher.3 W © 1995 by Robert M.

    Thomas J. Tunison Vice chair Appendix C: What They Said Thurman Munson Hall of Fame Committee About Thurman Munson Thurman Munson was one of the greatest leaders in the history of team sports. His field vision and blue print for success, fueled by an inner strength and determination, unequaled, played out before our very own eyes on the biggest stage in baseball. He willed himself and his team to the top of the baseball world with his tremendous skill and a confidence that was something to behold. Thurman became known as one of the games most clutch hitters and one of its toughest competitors. His impact on the great game of baseball, witnessed and respected by his teammates and opponents alike, cannot be overstated. Modern day statistical analysis and advanced metrics bare this out, and give us a clearer picture and a better understanding of the historical significance and greatness of his career. His love for his family and friends was on full display, while his love for children and others was a hidden gem, only later to be discovered. This was a very special man and a very special player.
