  • With a Combination of Speed, Daring and Brains, Ty Cobb Is Surely the Terror of the Opposing Infield.” – 1912 Hassan Cigarettes Tobacco Card
    Ty Cobb By Jimmy Keenan “With a combination of speed, daring and brains, Ty Cobb is surely the terror of the opposing infield.” – 1912 Hassan Cigarettes tobacco card. “Rogers Hornsby could run like anything but not like this kid. Ty Cobb was the fastest I ever saw for being sensational on the bases." – Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel. 1 “The Babe was a great ballplayer, sure, but Ty Cobb was even greater. Babe Ruth could knock your brains out, but Cobb would drive you crazy." – Hall of Fame outfielder Tris Speaker. 2 "The greatness of Ty Cobb was something that had to be seen, and to see him was to remember him forever." – Hall of Fame first baseman George Sisler. 3 Ty Cobb made his mark in baseball during the first three decades of the 20 th century. To this day, the mere mention of his name resonates baseball excellence. Cobb was credited with setting 90 individual records during his 24-year major league career. He played with the Detroit Tigers from (1905- 26) and the Philadelphia A's from (1927-28). He was the player-manager of the Tigers from 1921-26. Cobb hit over .400 three times (1911, 1912, 1922). He currently holds the highest lifetime batting average (.366) of any major league player. During his tenure in the bigs, he was credited with 12 American League batting titles, nine of them in a row. An error regarding Cobb’s 1910 hitting statistics was discovered in 1978. This correction led to him losing a point on his lifetime average as well as the 1910 batting crown.

  • November 1997, and I Can't Say It Better for This Message
    Service, Leadership, Education, and Communication Friends, this month we observe one of the most cherished holidays in the year. Thanksgiving Day is a time for family and friends to gather together to give thanks for all of the blessings that a merciful and all powerful GOD has lovingly provided - a time filled with joy and a counting of GOD'S blessings and remembering where we came from. My prayer is that this will be a special time for all of us." This was a part of the Grand Master's Message in November 1997, and I can't say it better for this message. It is still my prayer that all of us can observe a wonderful time of Thanksgiving for the blessings a loving GOD has bountifully bestowed on us. SERVICE, LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION are watchwords for our Templar Order. The officers and members of the Grand Encampment, of every Grand Commandery, and of every Commandery of Knights Templar are working, or should be working, toward achieving the goals that have been set for expanding our service to others, both as individuals and through our charities; for devising and implementing ways and means for involving our members in fraternal and public activities; for keeping our members informed on what's happening in our Templar Order and in other areas of interest; and for supporting ways and means to continue our efforts to learn where we came from, who we are, and what is our mission. The guidelines; the goals, aims and ambitions; the information; the materials; and the statistics that have been communicated and/or provided at the Department Conferences, Annual Conclaves, and other meetings, when passed on to every member, will prove to be effective in our efforts to fulfill the promises made in our obligations as members and officers of this Christian Masonry.

  • Gambling with the Bronx Bombers: Betting On, Against, and with the Yankees
    GAMBLING WITH THE BRONX BOMBERS: BETTING ON, AGAINST, AND WITH THE YANKEES Ronald J. Rychlak* The New York Yankees, arguably the most hallowed name in all of pro- fessional sports, has probably had more money wagered on the outcome of its games than any other team in any sport.1 Although few people today may be aware of it, the team itself has a long history of association with gamblers and gambling. The first owners of the Yankees were notorious gamblers; the team’s first captain was indicted in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal; one Yankees’ pitcher was suspected of having thrown another Series game; one owner had ties to underworld figures in Las Vegas; another owner was suspended for his dealings with a known gambler; and one of the most beloved Yankees of all time was barred from baseball due to his association with a casino.2 Addition- ally, it has been suggested that the Yankees’ threat of moving to New Jersey in the mid-1990s was linked to New York State authorizing gambling.3 I. EARLY INNINGS: GAMBLING ON A NEW LEAGUE The relationship between the Yankees and gambling, which continues today, began even before the first Yankee players took the field.4 In the 1800s, people thought of baseball in the same way people today might think of horse racing or jai alai – gambling was simply part of the sport. Brooklyn’s Union Grounds was considered the finest ballpark of the 1870s. One reason was because it had a special facility inside the stadium for the use of bookmakers * B.A.
