(See PAY DELAY, Page 2) Few Arab newspapers like Kissinger nnination BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP)--Few Arabs have anything nice to say about Henry Kissinger, the brilliant immigrant Jew chosen by President Nixon as the next American secretary of state. Arab commentators call him the Rasputin of the White House. One went so far as to suggest his nomination was "a declaration of unofficial war against the Arabs." Arab governments have remained diplomatically silent about Kissinger's nomination.

  • The Decline and Fall of the Pirates Family
    Chapter One The Decline and Fall of the Pirates Family The 1980–1985 Seasons ♦◊♦ As over forty-four thousand Pirates fans headed to Three Rivers Sta- dium for the home opener of the 1980 season, they had every reason to feel optimistic about the Pirates and Pittsburgh sports in general. In the 1970s, their Pirates had captured six divisional titles, two National League pennants, and two World Series championships. Their Steelers, after decades of futility, had won four Super Bowls in the 1970s, while the University of Pittsburgh Panthers led by Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett added to the excitement by winning a collegiate national championship in football. There was no reason for Pittsburgh sports fans to doubt that the 1980s would bring even more titles to the City of Champions. After the “We Are Family” Pirates, led by Willie Stargell, won the 1979 World Series, the ballclub’s goals for 1980 were “Two in a Row and Two Million Fans.”1 If the Pirates repeated as World Series champions, it would mark the first time that a Pirates team had accomplished that feat in franchise history. If two million fans came out to Three Rivers Stadium to see the Pirates win back-to-back World Series titles, it would 3 © 2017 University of Pittsburgh Press.

The offseason after the 1979 World Series victory was a whirlwind of awards and honors, highlighted by World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) Willie Stargell and Super Bowl MVP Terry Bradshaw of the Steelers appearing on the cover of the December 24, 1979, Sports Illustrated as corecipients of the magazine’s Sportsman of the Year Award.

    . Pittsburgh Goes Wild PITTSBURGH (AP)--A massive World Series victory celebration exploded last night into a rampage of destruction, looting and sex-in-the-streets. Police reported a dozen rapes--some of them in full view of hundreds who cheered the assailants--displays of public lovemaking, nudity and drink- ing. 6I "This isn't a riot.

More than 100 persons were injured and 300 others were arrested in the melee, 0 which erupted after an estimated # 100,000 poured into the downtown area. There was scattered shooting, but only one reported wounding. Hundreds of explosions caused by fireworks were often mistaken for gun- shots. At least 30 stores were looted and 30 or 40 more were damaged. Many down- town store windows were shattered.

  • Forest Baseball Club Inc. 2011/12 Presentation
    Forest Baseball Club Inc. 2011/12 Presentation Thanks to our sponsors FORESTVILLE RSL 2011/12 President’s Message Dear Forest Baseball Club, What a wet year it’s been for Forest Baseball club and Baseball in general on the Northern Beaches. I cannot recall a season with more rainouts than this one just past. Despite that I think we have had another good year albeit shortened by both the weather and the Councils newly implemented mandatory rest periods for the grounds. We are in our third year of ‘twilight teeball’ and this year was another fun and successful year for that program. It was once again a huge success with the participation rate very high throughout the 10 weeks. The true test will come next season when we see how many children make the transition to the Saturday competition. I am certainly hopeful that we have shown the kids how much fun teeball can be and that it will translate into many of them returning for the full summer season. Our club numbers have been slowly rising over the past couple of years and we came close to pushing past the 200 member mark this year. We had just on 195 players (including teeball) in the junior club. I have noticed that a lot of our players are getting friends to come and join them at Forest and we seem to be attracting a lot of people from other sports such as Cricket. We should see our numbers maintain or grow next year as pretty much the entire club is eligible to return for another season.

  • A Long, Strange Trip to Cubs World Series
    A long, strange trip to Cubs World Series By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, October 28, 2016 The Cubs appear a thoroughly dominant team with no holes, and certainly no “Cubbie Occurrences,” in playing the Cleveland Indi- ans in the generations-delayed World Series. But, to steal the millionth time from a song- writer, what a long, strange trip is has been. Truth is stranger than fiction in the Cubs Universe. On my own 45-year path of watch- ing games and talking to the newsmakers at Wrigley Field, I have been a witness to: Burt Hooton slugged a grand-slam homer off Tom “Terrific” Seaver in an 18- 5 pounding of the New York Mets in 1972. Hillary Clinton throws out first ball at Wrigley Field in 1994. On my 19th birthday, May 27, 1974, lefty Ken “Failing” Frailing pitched a complete-game 15-hitter in a 12-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants. A few weeks later, Rich Reuschel tossed a 12-hit shutout against the Lumber Com- pany Pittsburgh Pirates. In mid-Aug. 1974, the Dodgers had 24 hits by the sixth inning in an 18-8 victory over the Cubs. Apparently peeved, the Pirates in late 1975 racked up the most lopsided shutout in history, 22-0 over the Cubs. Reuschel started and gave up eight runs in the first. Brother Paul Reuschel mopped up in the ninth. Rennie Stennett went 7-for-7. Amazingly, less than a month previously, the Reuschels teamed for the only all- brother shutout in history in a 7-0 victory over the Dodgers (also witnessed here).

  • Heroes and Rallies Baseball
    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

    Minnesota Twins Daily Clips Wednesday, January 13, 2016 Milone part of group of arb-eligible Twins. MLB.com (Bollinger) p. 1 Arbitration expected to be more costly for Twins. Star Tribune (Miller) p. 1 Milone, five other Twins file for arbitration. Fox Sports (Garro) p. 2 All-time great bullpens: 1970s. ESPN (Schoenfield) p. 2 Minnesota Twins Top 10 Prospects. Baseball America (Berardino) p. 4 Milone part of group of arb-eligible Twins Rhett Bollinger | MLB.com | January 12, 2016 The Twins had six players file for arbitration on Tuesday, with the deadline to exchange salary figures coming Friday. Left-hander Tommy Milone, relievers Kevin Jepsen and Casey Fien, and infielders Trevor Plouffe, Eduardo Nunez and Eduardo Escobar all filed for salary arbitration after being tendered contracts on Dec. 3. If recent history is any indication, the Twins are likely to agree to contracts with most or all of their arbitration-eligible players on or before Friday. Minnesota had six players eligible for arbitration last year, and the club agreed to terms with Milone, Fien, Plouffe and Nunez on the same day they exchanged contract figures. Escobar is arbitration-eligible for the first time this year, while Jepsen was acquired by the Twins in a trade with the Rays before the non-waiver Trade Deadline. Clubs such as the Blue Jays, Braves, Brewers, Dodgers, Indians, Marlins, Pirates, Rays and White Sox employ a file-and-trial policy that treats Friday as a firm deadline before going to a hearing, but the Twins don't employ such a policy. For example, the Twins couldn't reach agreements with Brian Duensing and Jordan Schafer on the same day they exchanged figures last year, but the club signed both of them a week later to avoid an arbitration hearing.
