In case you're wondering about the other answers: (B) 18% is the national average for alumni giving to their college Foundation and (C) 62% is the nation's leader in alumni giving.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

He was named president by Marshall’s Board of Governors in June 2005. “Looking at Marshall and the Huntington community, I have been so impressed with the tremendous relationship between the two,” Kopp says. “That support base, not just in Huntington but in the state as a whole, is a tremendously strong foundation for building a vibrant future for Marshall University, and helping the community and the surrounding area improve the quality of life for West Virginians. To be a part of that, to work with the community to help that transition take place, is an incredibly exciting opportunity.” Kopp speaks often of the “promise of a better future” for West Virginians, and says an important part of fulfi lling that promise is a solid com- Stephen J.
