2018 Year in Review ­— the Year of CARE Dayton and Marianne Moore, the Founders of “C” You in the Major Leagues “Building tomorrow’s leaders through America’s pastime.” 2018 Year in Review — The Year of CARE Dayton and Marianne Moore, the founders of “C” You In The Major Leagues. Reflecting on 2018 and the impact that all of us, TOGETHER, have had on lives in our community, one of our 10 “C” leadership words best describes the year: CARE. Because of your support, your CARE, countless people have been given hope and lessons of character development. Perhaps the most exciting way your CARE was displayed in 2018 came in August when we launched the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program. Named after our 10 “C” character-based leadership words, this school year we have 10 students – many from underserved areas of Kansas City – and they’re each paired with an adult mentor. The group meets on a weekly basis, receiving educational enhancement, and life and job skills training. One week each month they receive leadership lessons from thought-provoking speakers in our community. And, once a month, they take part in a service project. We feel this will be one of the most impactful and life-altering things we do as a foundation. In 2018, your support helped feed elementary-aged students through Generosity Feeds, helped cover funeral costs for two families that experienced unexpected deaths, relocated a single mother and her three sons from a bad situation in another state to the Kansas City area, and helped them get a fresh start, and purchased a wheelchair-accessible van for a family that suffered a life-altering accident. In July we expanded our Wiffle ball fundraiser to include a 28-team tournament at the Urban Youth Academy, renaming it “Crown Town Wiffle Weekend,” allowing adults to feel like kids again. That event, which is scheduled to return July 12 & 13, 2019, raised $120,000! 2018 was an exciting year for the foundation because of YOU. None of this is possible without your CARE for people, particularly children and families in crisis. That’s evident through your support of “C” You In The Major Leagues. For that we can’t thank you enough. In December we were able to purchase a wheelchair-accessible van for the Sprague family, whose son, Nolan, was paralyzed after a diving accident. This is from Nolan’s mom Carmen: “This van represents freedom to us. I’m not strong enough to lift Nolan into our minivan, so we’d been counting on my husband Kevin to be available anytime we needed to go somewhere. Now Nolan and I can just come and go as we please. It’s awesome! And in the future this is set up so Nolan can drive as well..talk about freedom! He’s chomping at the bit! “C” You In The Major Leagues contacted us a day or two after Nolan’s accident saying they wanted to help us. They worked with United Access to make this happen, and the entire team there is amazing! Wow..just wow is all I can say. Thank you!” “We have been coming to your baseball camp since its first year. This camp has had an immense effect on our son through the years. The core life skills that are taught have a lasting effect. ...In 2018 our son went to both weeks. After the first week he told my wife and me that he could do more, that he could do better. He offered to help us around the house with anything we needed. That’s huge for a 12-year-old boy. This camp has improved his baseball skills, but it’s also helped him in life. Thank you from my wife and me. We are very appreciative of what you do and how you do it.” Christopher, father of a CYITML Baseball Camp participant 2018: The Year of CARE 10 21 182 Students and mentors Different organizations Hours of service by began meeting weekly in received grants from CYITML volunteers August as part of our new CYITML in 2018. in the Kansas City C-10 Mentoring & community.

Academy. 2018: The Year of CARE In August we launched our biggest initiative to date, the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program. Through C-10, which is based on our 10 “C” character-based leadership words, we’ve paired 10 high school students with 10 mentors, and we pour into their lives on a weekly basis. The students are receiving educational enhancements, and job and life skills training. Once a month they hear from a guest speaker and they go into the community for a service project. One of our students, “Carmen,” summed up the program this way: “The thing I’ve enjoyed most about C-10 is the environment. I feel welcome and I feel constant support.” C-10 Mentoring & Leadership 2018: The Year of CARE 2018 marked the fourth year of the “C” You In The Major Leagues Baseball Camp. As with the previous three years, one session of camp was at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City. However, we added a session at the Urban Youth Academy, where the majority of boys and girls came from underserved areas of Kansas City and attended camp for free. Dayton Moore and members of the Royals Baseball Operations Department oversee the camps. CYITML Baseball Camps League of Smiles In 2018 we partnered with Coldwater of Lee’s Summit to run the 25th season of League of Smiles, which is a non-competitive, learning T-ball league for ages 4-7 years old. With assistance from the Urban Youth Academy staff and the Royals Baseball Operations department, young players learned basic baseball fundamentals and then received a lesson on one of our “C” words after their game. Our intern Andrew Richards oversaw the program. “C” You At The “K” For a third year, we brought high school students, largely from underserved areas of Kansas City, to Kauffman Stadium during the season for “C” You at the “K.” On their unique night, students typically watch batting practice on the field, receive a leadership lesson from Dayton Moore and others, enjoy dinner, and then watch a Royals game. We are grateful to Darol Rodrock and the Darol Rodrock Foundation for partnering with the Royals to underwrite this event! Darol has a powerful message that he shares with the students. 2018: The Year of CARE The following 58 organizations have received grants from “C” You In The Major Leagues since 2014. Most of the grants to churches have been helping specific individuals or families, and most of the grants outside of Kansas City have been made in honor of a Royals player or coach making an appearance on behalf of CYITML. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation Alta Vista Charter High School Angel Tree (Prison Fellowship Ministry)* Thanks to our incredible donors and supporters, Baseball Assistance Team Inc. we’ve been able to grant Bishop Sullivan Center Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City Boys Hope Girls Hope of Kansas City $866,087 Brian M Anselmo (BMA) Foundation City Union Mission* since 2014!

All-Time Beneficiaries A Story of Hope One way your support makes a huge difference is with individuals and families in crisis in our community. One of those in 2018 was the Johns family. Jason Johns is a pastor in the Kansas City area, and was not taking an income as he and his wife started a new church near the urban core of Kansas City. In August 2017, as he was driving his three children -- two girls and a boy -- to school, a car pulled in front of Jason’s truck near Gregory and Paseo. The impact forced Jason’s truck into a light pole. Five days later, the Johns’ oldest daughter, 8-year-old Elise, died. Meanwhile, 5-year-old Hope was paralyzed from the waist down. In early 2018, with Hope’s time at the therapy center coming to an end and insurance not covering some of the equipment needed to carry on her rehab at home, a grant from CYITML paid for a specialized rehabilitation bike. That has allowed Hope to continue her physical therapy at home.

  • The Cubs Win the World Series!
    Can’t-miss listening is Pat Hughes’ ‘The Cubs Win the World Series!’ CD By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, January 2, 2017 What better way for Pat Hughes to honor his own achievement by reminding listeners on his new CD he’s the first Cubs broadcaster to say the memorable words, “The Cubs win the World Series.” Hughes’ broadcast on 670-The Score was the only Chi- cago version, radio or TV, of the hyper-historic early hours of Nov. 3, 2016 in Cleveland. Radio was still in the Marconi experimental stage in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Baseball was not broadcast on radio until 1921. The five World Series the Cubs played in the radio era – 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938 and 1945 – would not have had classic announc- ers like Bob Elson claiming a Cubs victory. Given the unbroken drumbeat of championship fail- ure, there never has been a season tribute record or CD for Cubs radio calls. The “Great Moments in Cubs Pat Hughes was a one-man gang in History” record was produced in the off-season of producing and starring in “The Cubs 1970-71 by Jack Brickhouse and sidekick Jack Rosen- Win the World Series!” CD. berg. But without a World Series title, the commemo- ration featured highlights of the near-miss 1969-70 seasons, tapped the WGN archives for older calls and backtracked to re-creations of plays as far back as the 1930s.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more full-time years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and eld, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.
