    21-2 Introduction and Overview

    INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW HISTORY, DEMOGRAPHICS AND STATISTICS A Brief History The Town of Barnstable’s beginnings as a Town date back to a grant to two Europeans and their associates, and to its settlement, mainly by the Rev. John Lothrop and his parishioners from Scituate. The year was 1639, less than 20 years after the Pilgrims on the small sailing ship Mayflower landed first at Provincetown and then at Plymouth to begin the colonization of New England. These first settlers were mainly farmers. They had to be in order to survive. Peaceful dealings with the indigenous people began as early as the first land purchases. West Barnstable was obtained from the Native American Serunk and Barnstable from Nepoyetum in the first ten years; the Hyannis and Hyannis Port area from Yanno and Cotuit from Paupmumuck in the first twenty-five years. The price seemed to be right. For the whole Town, the cost was four coats, two small breeches, Barnstable County Courthouse three axes, three brass kettles, a broad hoe, a day’s plowing, one dwelling house and 20 pounds in English money. The office of selectmen had been established in 1665 and twenty years later, the Town became the County seat for Barnstable County. It wasn’t until the mid-eighteenth century that the Cape, including the Town of Barnstable, had become largely a maritime region. The oyster lured many settlers and the maritime industry was becoming a major employer. The years after the war of 1812 brought great expansion. The Town had developed many items for export including flax, corn, rye, wheat and onions, salt from burgeoning saltworks and dried cod from its fishermen.

    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No. 3, Apr. 17, 2009) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Joe Dier NCBWA Membership: With the 2008-09 hoops season now in the record books, the collegiate spotlight is focusing more closely on the nation’s baseball diamonds. Though we’re heading into the final month of the season, there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead on the road to Omaha and the 2009 NCAA College World Series. The NCAA will soon be announcing details of next month’s tournament selection announcements naming the regional host sites (May 24) and the 64-team tournament field (May 25). To date, four different teams have claimed the top spot in the NCBWA’s national Division I polls --- Arizona State, Georgia, LSU, and North Carolina. Several other teams have graced the No. 1 position in other national polls. The NCAA’s mid-April RPI listing has Cal State Fullerton leading the 301-team pack, with 19 teams sporting 25-win records through games of April 12. For the record, New Mexico State tops the wins list with a 30-6 mark. As the conference races heat up from coast to coast, the NCBWA will begin the process for naming its All- America teams and the Divk Howser Trophy (see below). We will have a form going out to conference offices and Division I independents in coming days. Last year’s NCBWA-selected team included 56 outstanding baseball athletes, and we want to have the names of all deserving players on the table for consideration for this year’s awards.
  • Key Concepts for Injury Prevention in Baseball Players

    Key Concepts for Injury Prevention in Baseball Players

    Baseball Key Concepts for Injury Prevention What kind of injuries occur in baseball? Traumatic injuries occur suddenly. These are typically prevented with proper equipment, rules, regulations and fair play. Overuse injuries occur over time. These can be prevented by knowing early warning signs, general conditioning and following recommendations for rest. What is forced rest? Body tissues can become worn out and painful when they get too much stress with certain activities. Forced rest is taking a strategic break from motions or activities that cause damage and sometimes pain. What else can be done to reduce injury risk in baseball? • Avoid playing on multiple teams in one season • Be smart about side session work, this counts toward pitch counts too. • Play multiple sports • Take 2-3 months off from pitching each year • Cross train during season and in the off-season • Ramp up slowly in pre-season Cross training ideas for young baseball players? • Flexibility exercises • Sprinting drills • Strength training with body resistance • Core stabilization and shoulder blade stabilization Who is more likely to get an overuse injury? • Pitchers that also play in other heavy throwing positions when not pitching, i.e. catcher, shortstop • Pitchers who play year-round or on multiple teams • Players who continue throwing through fatigue and/or pain. 469-515-7100 • scottishritehospital.org Continued on reverse Baseball Training Tips Balance baseball skills training with cross training.

    Baseball National Champions, Back-to-Back, October 24, 2015 Title “The View from the Pitcher's Mound” Date October 24, 2015 Location The Valley Library, Oregon State University. Summary In the interview, Gunderson discusses his early involvement in baseball, his first meetings with Pat Casey, and his earliest memories of being a Beaver. From there, Gunderson responds to a series of questions focusing on the 2005 season that resulted in the Beavers' first appearance in the College World Series since 1952. Of particular note are Gunderson's responses to questions concerning team chemistry and fan involvement as components of the team's success, as well as specific recollections of key games during the team's run through the playoffs. Gunderson then shares his memories of the squad's quick exit from Omaha in 2005, and the guarantee that he made to the media that the Beavers would return to the College World Series in 2006. Gunderson then turns his attention to the 2006 season, commenting once again on team chemistry and fan involvement, and tracing OSU's path through the playoffs and on to Omaha. In recounting the team's run to the 2006 national championship, Gunderson specifically notes match-ups with Miami and Rice, as well as the national championship series versus North Carolina. He then details his recollections of the celebration that followed Oregon State's triumph in Omaha. As it nears its conclusion, the session focuses on Gunderson's experiences in professional baseball, his impressions of the 2007 national champion OSU team, and his ambitions for the future.
