Marybeth Matyasik Less Than a Year Ago, a Very Dear and Generous Person, Marybeth Matyasik Was Diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Both Breasts 2015 HONORARY BAT GIRL CONTEST ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS! Barbara Nicholl My stepmom, Barbara Nicholl, is the strongest and kindest person I know. She was diagnosed with breast cancer from a rou>ne mammogram, aer which she had a mastectomy and underwent chemo. Barbara has been cancer free for nearly 10 years now and the moment she was able to, she began >relessly fundraising, spreading awareness, and suppor>ng the fight to end breast cancer so other women and other families wouldn't have to face what she did. She never backed down, she never felt bad for herself, she just fought. And started figh>ng for others. She began fundraising and walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk, amongst other efforts. She joined a team of other survivors and supporters, who call themselves the Tukee Tatas, who par>cipate in the 3-Day Walk together each year. Even aer the 3-Day Walks were no longer held in Arizona, she and her team have traveled to par>cipate in the walk in other states. This September, she will be comple>ng the 3-Day Walk in Seale, WA - marking her 10th year walking in the 3-Day. Following her recovery, Barbara underwent tes>ng that found she is a carrier of the BRCA-2 "cancer gene" - at which point she had a preventave mastectomy on her other breast. Her daughter, my stepsister then had a preventave mastectomy in her early 30's following the discovery that she, too, was a carrier and her chances of developing breast cancer were eXtremely high. My family is so blessed to have a woman as strong as Barbara leading us and loving us. She is an eXample to me every day of a beau>ful, strong, fearless, and kind person. In a family of die-hard sports fans, Barbara is the biggest and most enthusias>c fan and I know she would go absolutely nuts for the opportunity to be the bat girl for a day for the Arizona Diamondbacks and proudly represent breast cancer survivors and those currently in the fight. honorarybatgirl.com 2015 HONORARY BAT GIRL CONTEST ATLANTA BRAVES! Tracy Chitwood I have the most amazing mother and breast cancer survivor. Her name is Tracy Chitwood and she is living with Stage 4 Metastac Breast Cancer. One day God "slipped her up" and she broke her leg, a healthy leg at that. But without that fall, we wouldn't have found out about it. Ever since it has been a fight, but it's been a fight that she has never backed down from. I was about 10 when she was first diagnosed, and we would read Psalm 91 every night before bed. That verse told us that God would protect us and as long we trusted in him and knew his name nothing bad could happen. I know that verse gave me the renewed faith that I needed to make it through another day, and it told her that God wasn't finished and she just needed to con>nue doing his work and she'd be alright. She has used her story to not only keep herself going, but I know she has touched so many and con>nues to give other cancer survivors hope that they can defeat this horrible disease. Even aer this cancer caused her to have numerous surgeries, one recently forcing her to have all her teeth removed, her strength hasn't wavered. I was amazed the other day when we walked through a store and she saw another survivor who looked to be currently geng treatments. Without thinking, she wandered off for a second and went to that lady just to say hello, give her some encouragement and let her know that she could do it! I was inspired by her ability to step out of her comfort zone to give strength to others when they need it. My mom has been an ac>ve organizer in many Komen and ACS events for over 13 years now, and has inspired my family and I to con>nue in the fight against Breast Cancer. In the 13 years since her diagnosis, she has taught me how to appreciate >me, how to trust in God, how to love uncondi>onally in good >mes and bad, as well as many other life lessons that I wouldn't have learned on my own. She's my hero and inspiraon and con>nues to be that bright hope to anyone she meets. honorarybatgirl.com 2015 HONORARY BAT GIRL CONTEST BALTIMORE ORIOLES! Sara Tresselt I'd like to nominate Sara Tresselt. She is a 37 year old breast cancer fighter. In October 2011, she was diagnosed with Stage III Invasive Ductal Carcenoma-Breast Cancer. She was 33 years old, with no family history and no other risk factors. She was a seemingly healthy, ac>ve woman. Since her diagnosis, she has undergone 18 weeks of intense chemotherapy, a bilateral mastectomy, 6 weeks of daily radiaon treatments, breast reconstruc>on, a year of Hercep>n treatment, and a year later it came back; then 3 more months of chemotherapy. As her friends and family rallied around her and struggled to find the words to comfort her, she never placed blamed on anyone or anything, never felt pity or sorrow, she just came out "swinging" from day one. She is a true inspiraon to her family, friends, doctors, and even strangers she would meet. She has the ability to make others smile and laugh, despite the tough journey she is on. She always makes herself available to others going through similar situaons that need to talk, whether it is her loved ones who are struggling with it or for complete strangers; she will always take the >me to talk, listen and pray with them. All throughout her tough bale she volunteers at the local homeless shelter and soup kitchen every week and even went on a mission trip to Ecuador bringing school supplies to an orphanage. She is a HUGE O's fan and would be humbled and honored to represent the O's as the Honorary Bat Girl for a game. VOTE for SARA T. honorarybatgirl.com 2015 HONORARY BAT GIRL CONTEST BOSTON RED SOX! Heather Morse My friend Heather Morse has baled this disease a few >mes. She is now living with Metastac breast cancer....she will not beat it but is struggling year aer year to stay alive for her 3 boys. Heather is a woman who lives life to it's fullest. She and her husband Tom ride Harley's, (yes, she has her own!) and Heather organizes a bike run each year to raise money so she can par>cipate in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day, a 3 day and 60 mile walk. Last September.....having just fought a bale with a re-occurrence in her liver, Heather walked EVERY STEP of the Philadelphia 3-Day.She has personally raise well over $20,000 toward a cure. To say she is my hero is an understatement. She has 3 well-behaved boys who get great grades, are s>ll in scouts and are just being raised properly=they are her top priority. While she knows she will never be free of this disease, she goes above and beyond each year to raise as much money and awareness as possible. PLEASE pick Heather to be an honorary bat girl. honorarybatgirl.com 2015 HONORARY BAT GIRL CONTEST CHICAGO CUBS! Ginny Cooper Ginny an ul>mate Cub's Fan (59 years and coun>ng - loved,loved,loved Ron Santo) is a baler just like her favorite team. A 10-year survivor of breast cancer, Ginny faced her challenge with dignity, passion and an unsurpassed determinaon to beat it. Undergoing chemo and radiaon treatments, Ginny is a "True Believer" in that she wouldn't let breast cancer determine how she lives her life. Mastering her fear, Ginny shared her baldness with the world, always with a smile and even though going through all the hell that breast cancer brings, she always was and con>nues to be more concerned for others than herself. Being the batgirl (woman) for the Cubs would be more than a dream come true, it really would be Heaven on Earth. As just one of the many millions of guys who admire and love the special person in their life that one-day got that dreaded call, all I can say is we need to do everything we can to help everyone facing breast cancer become a survivor. Go Cubbies!, Go Balers! and thanks to MLB for doing something so important for so many people. honorarybatgirl.com 2015 HONORARY BAT GIRL CONTEST CHICAGO WHITE SOX!

  • SF Giants Press Clips Wednesday, April 26, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Wednesday, April 26, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants lose; Christian Arroyo gets 1st MLB hit off Clayton Kershaw Henry Schulman The baseball that Christian Arroyo sent into left field for his first big-league hit surely will be placed in a display box, with a brass plate noting the date, inning, where the ball went and the pitcher who threw it. Arroyo and his family would have cherished the shrine even if the pitcher’s name had been Heath Dinglefroom. How wonderful for them that it actually will read “Clayton Kershaw.” Arroyo’s family was in the stands to see his first-inning hit against one of the greatest ever to take the mound. They stuck around to see another ho-hum Kershaw triumph at AT&T Park, a 2-1 Dodgers victory that — believe it or not — cost the Giants another player. Brandon Crawford strained his right groin as he rounded first on an eighth-inning single that sent Buster Posey to third with two outs. Crawford left the game with no idea when he will return, before Kenley Jansen struck out pinch-hitter Brandon Belt to end the Giants’ final threat. “I’ve never had anything like that before, so I can’t tell you how bad it is,” Crawford said. “It just felt tight. I didn’t feel a pop. That’s good news from what I hear.” Crawford was to miss the next three games on bereavement leave, anyway. Manager Bruce Bochy said he hoped Crawford could get an MRI exam before he leaves for Southern California on Wednesday morning, but Crawford did not think that would be possible.

  • Tribe's Storied Season Ends in Heartbreak by Bryan Hoch
    Tribe's storied season ends in heartbreak By Bryan Hoch and Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | 3:24 AM ET + 1202 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- The Yankees believed they had the right blend of talent not only to force the American League Division Series presented by Doosan back to Progressive Field, but to win it all. Having made good on that promise by knocking off the defending AL champion Indians, New York's improbable and exhilarating run at a 28th World Series title will now run through Houston. Didi Gregorius homered twice, CC Sabathia rolled back the clock with nine strikeouts before turning it over to the bullpen in the fifth inning and the Yankees completed their historic comeback from a daunting deficit, advancing past the Indians with a 5-2 victory in Game 5 of the ALDS on Wednesday night. "For me to be here with these guys is just unbelievable," Gregorius said. "This amazing, young team that we've got, everybody helps each other out here. Everybody wants each other to be good. I think that's the motto since I got here." The Yanks will now face the Astros in the AL Championship Series presented by Camping World. Game 1 is scheduled for Friday at Minute Maid Park. "There's a ton of fight in this club," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It's a great mixture of youth and veteran players that are leading the way, and it's hard to believe, because we just beat a really, really good team." Participating in their fourth elimination game in the past eight days, the Yanks never trailed in the final three ALDS games.

  • Flake-Report.45Am.Pdf
    Dear Taxpayer, In 2013, a roaring crowd cheered as the Atlanta Falcons welcomed ϴϬ National Guard members who unfurled an American flag across the Georgia Dome’s turf. Little did those fans—or millions of other Americans—know that the National Guard had actually paid the Atlanta Falcons for this display of patriotism as part of a $315,000 marketing contract. This unfortunate story is not limited to professional football, but is repeated at other professional and college sporting events around the nation. In fact, these displays of paid patriotism are included within the $6.8 million that the Department of Defense (DOD) has spent on sports marketing contracts since fiscal year 2012. Consider this: Śonoring five Air Force Žfficers put $1,500 into the pockets of the LGalaxy. In another example, taxpayers footed the $10,000 bill for an on-field swearing-in ceremony with the World Series finalist New York Mets. And the list goes on. By paying for such heartwarming displays like recognition of wounded warriors, surprise homecomings, and on-field enlistment ceremonies, these displays lost their luster. Unsuspecting audience members became the subjects of paid-marketing campaigns rather than simply bearing witness to teams’ authentic, voluntary shows of support for the brave men and women who wear our nation’s uniform.
