  • Meet Michael Michael Giambelluca Is Prep's New President
    CREIGHTON PREP ALUMNI NEWS MEET MICHAEL MICHAEL GIAMBELLUCA IS PREP'S NEW PRESIDENT ATHLETIC RECORD ENROLLMENT ALUMNI IN THE SUMMER 2013 10 FOR 2013 12 HALL OF FAME 24 WORKPLACE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Greetings I feel blessed and energized to be writing you as I begin my tenure as the 32nd president of Creighton Prep, a school whose formative mission, exceptional quality, loyal following and supportive atmosphere remind me so much of Jesuit High School in New Orleans, where I recently completed my 12th year as principal. Both school communities are so very blessed in so many ways. As I begin my work at Prep, I want to thank the Creighton Prep Governing Board, the Search Committee, my predecessor Father Andy Alexander, S.J. ’66, Tim McIntire at Carney Sandoe & Associates and all the Prep constituents who took the time to be part of the very thorough process that helped select and transition me to my role as president, a position from which I will be honored and humbled to serve a community that means so much to so many people, a community that has already been so welcoming to my wife Donnamaria and me. On page four of this Alumni News, you can find out more about the selection process and my background as well as some of my reflections on education and my priorities going forward. As mentioned there, I will be focused on advancing the mission of Prep for and through all members of our school community. As I begin my tenure, I will be doing a great deal of listening and learning about this wonderful institution, and this process will result in us both celebrating what we are doing well and improving upon what we might be able to do better.

  • List of New York's Baseball Sites
    LIST OF NEW YORK’S BASEBALL SITES Major League Stadiums and related sites The New York metropolitan area is the scene of some of the most legendary events and home of the greatest figures in baseball history. From the first recorded baseball game at Elysian Fields in 1846, New York has been the “Capitol of Baseball” for 171 years. New York’s baseball history is written in many places – legendary stadiums, distinctive hotels, ordinary homes. Some of these sites are well-marked and internationally- known – others are marked with small plaques, tiny reminders, or even nothing at all. But every one of these sites listed played a major role in the history of baseball, is worth a visit, and deserves to be known and remembered. Enjoy! 1. Yankee Stadium (161st Street and River Avenue, The Bronx) Accessible by the No. 4, D, and B trains from Manhattan. The new Yankee Stadium, opened in April 2009. Costing $2.3 billion, it stands one block north of the original, on the 24-acre former site of Macombs Dam Park, and incorporates reproductions of many features from the original Yankee Stadium across the street, including the frieze, the Indiana limestone exterior, hand-operated scoreboards, the section numbering, and the unusually-shaped outfield dimensions. New features include a museum of Yankee history that displays Thurman Munson’s locker, a Great Hall on 161st Street, and an accessible Monument Park. Home plate was brought from the original Stadium, and Yankee relief pitcher and future Hall of Famer requested that the team reposition the home bullpen and provide it with a door to link it with Monument Park.

Goltzman It is nearly impossible to imagine the existence of the Hall of Fame, or baseball itself, without the establishment of the New York Yankees. Hailing from Bronx, NY, the Yankees are the most celebrated franchise in the sport. With 27 World Championships, 40 Pennants, and 52 playoff appearances,1 the “Bronx Bombers” have defined themselves as the epitome of greatness in a game built upon historic landmarks and tradition. These dynasties were led by the legends of the game, most notably Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Mickey Mantle. Much like baseball, medicine is a discipline that is measured in statistics. Instead of stolen bases, batting average, and home runs, there is more concern for mortality and disease incidence. At times, the storylines between baseball and medicine find themselves on the same page, capturing the moments when baseball giants have been met with unthinkable disease.
