  • June 29, 2021 Dear Texas Congressional Delegation, We
    June 29, 2021 Dear Texas Congressional Delegation, We write in deep appreciation of the enactment of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). ARPA’s comprehensive approach is already providing an important boost to our pandemic recovery efforts. We are especially appreciative that ARPA provides fiscal assistance to almost every local government in the nation via the Coronavirus Fiscal Recovery Fund. These funds are providing critical assistance to our cities and will continue to do so as we work to overcome the health, economic, and social impacts of the pandemic. As our cities reopen, we are pleased to see many signs of a strong economic recovery and a return to normal life. However, we are deeply concerned about recent proposals to rescind, recapture, or “clawback” the second tranche of the Coronavirus Fiscal Recovery Fund scheduled for allocation next spring. When creating the Coronavirus Fiscal Recovery Fund, Congress and the Administration foresaw that while our economy would see rapid economic growth this summer and fall, many of the pandemic’s social and economic impacts will take more time to fully address. In response, the program is designed to address short-term needs via an immediate allocation of half of the program’s funds while also allowing for long-term recovery via a second allocation next spring and a provision providing us with three years to obligate the funds. The wisdom of this approach is becoming increasingly evident as we work on our recovery plans. Although the pandemic has given us renewed pride in the strength and compassion of our communities, it has also laid bare how much work we have to do, to fully address all of the pandemic’s impacts and build a more resilient society.

Much like other years, we began with prayer and greetings and quickly got to the work at hand, charting the course for another fruitful year. This year, our “road map” was brought into clearer focus as we unveiled the new statement of vision, mission, and core values for the Academy. This collaborative process, begun in April of last year, has refocused the attention of this school community on the person of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word. Later in The Messenger you will have the opportunity to enter into that new statement, hopefully allowing it to rekindle a spark of faith in your heart.

  • Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches (MSABC) in 1981 and Was the First MSABC President

Sponsorship of the game was obtained from Crown Central Petroleum Company. A spokesman for Crown at the time, Brooks Robinson, the Hall of Fame third baseman for the Orioles, became honorary chairman of the game. The first annual Crown High School All-Star game was played in 1982 at Memorial Stadium between teams of high school seniors representing the North and the South. Growing in stature every year, the venue for the game shifted to Oriole Park at Camden Yards when it opened in 1992. In 2004, when the game lost the sponsorship of Crown, Brooks Robinson, as he had done so many times for the Orioles with a sparkling defensive play at third, saved the game. He sought out Joe Geier, a longtime friend, baseball fan, and Mount St. Joseph graduate, and the Geier Financial Group agreed to sponsor the game. Fittingly, the game was renamed the Brooks Robinson Senior High School All-Star Game. The game is usually played on a Sunday after an Orioles’ game following the conclusion of State tournament play in late May.

The purpose of the draft is to assign amateur baseball players to major league teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. Eligible amateur players include graduated high school players who have not attended college, any junior or community college players, and players at four-year colleges and universities three years after first enrolling or after their 21st birthdays (whichever occurs first). From 1966-1986, a January draft was held in addition to the June draft targeting high school players who graduated in the winter, junior college players, and players who had dropped out of four-year colleges and universities. To date, there have been 1,170 Maryland players selected in the First-Year Player Drafts either from a Maryland High School (337), Maryland College (458), Non-Maryland College (357), or a Maryland amateur baseball club (18). The most Maryland selections in a year was in 1970 (38) followed by 1984 (37) and 1983 (36). The first Maryland selection was Jim Spencer from Andover High School with the 11th overall selection in the inaugural 1965 June draft.

The time has sped by to quickly as I clearly remember playing on the 1st Avery Point Championship Team in 1973, winning the Connecticut Small College Conference Championship under Coach George Greer. Defeating Stamford UCONN to clinch the championship with teammates like Pat Kelly, Jeff Kirsch, Herb Gardner, Jerry Stergio, Jay Macko and Mike Wilkinson to name a few. Playing a modest 10 game schedule that fall of 1973 started a streak of 15 consecutive CSCC Championships. When George Greer left to coach Davidson College in 1982, I left UCONN as their baseball graduate assistant to replace Coach Greer as the Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach and ultimately joining the NJCAA in 1985. This has led to 14 NJCAA New England Championships, 7 East District Championships and 7 World Series appearances. There has been 37 Professional Baseball signee’s, 3 major Leaguers -John McDonald, Rajai Davis and Pete Walker-, 180 players playing at 4 year programs including 56 to UCONN and 18 NJCAA All-Americans.
