Matches are fired at home and at various clubs throughout New London County in Monday evenings. Four weeks into the season our teams find themselves a bit behind the eight ball. The Nut- megs are at 1-3 and in last place in Class A while Quaker Hill sits on 0-4 and is also in the cellar of Class B. Quaker Hill pistol shot leaders Phil Kohanski and Pete Tripputi are in a virtual tie with 281 av- erages while Charlie Allen leads the Nutmegs shooting a 268. He is supported by Bob Droesch, Tony Goulart, and Dennis Allan all knotted up at 266.

A misfire is any cartridge that does not go off when fired. Misfires are considered to be live ammunition and must be taken home or placed in a Misfire Can for disposal. The residue from a fired cartridge is expended brass or hulls, in the case of shotguns. Place any expended brass or hulls you are not taking home to reload in the brass bucket. Do not put misfires or expended brass in the trash barrels as it is a safety hazard.

Biographical Sketch Dr. Margarita Peraza-Rugeley is an Assistant Professor of Spanish in the Department of English, Foreign Languages and Philosophy at Henderson State University. Her scholarly interests center on colonial Latin-American literature from New Spain, specifically the 17th century. Using the case of the Spanish colonies, she explores the birth of national identities in hybrid cultures. Another scholarly interest is the genre of Latin American colonialist narratives by modern-day female authors who situate their plots in the colonial period. In 2013, she published Llámenme «el mexicano»: Los almanaques y otras obras de Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora (Peter Lang,). She also has published short stories. During the summer of 2013, she spent time in Seoul’s National University and, in summer 2014, in Kyungpook National University, both in South Korea. https://www.facebook.com/StringPoet/ The Best Players in New York Mets History Fred Worth, Ph.D.

  • Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees
    Academic Forum 30 2012-13 Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction Seven years ago, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox. I did similar research on additional teams and decided to publish four of those this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. The Nationals The Montreal Expos, along with the San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots debuted in 1969, the year that the major leagues introduced division play. The Pilots lasted a single year before becoming the Milwaukee Brewers. The Royals had a good deal of success, but then George Brett retired. Not much has gone well at Kauffman Stadium since. The Padres have been little noticed except for their horrid brown and mustard uniforms. They make up for it a little with their military tribute camouflage uniforms but otherwise carry on with little notice from anyone outside southern California.

  • 2008 BASEBALL PREVIEW the Planes Above, the Mets Below in ’64, Shea Was Like ‘Heaven’; Now It’S Hard to Find a Saving Grace
    2008 BASEBALL PREVIEW The Planes Above, the Mets Below In ’64, Shea Was Like ‘Heaven’; Now It’s Hard to Find a Saving Grace Ron Frehm/Associated Press Coneheads, inspired by the “Saturday Night Live” sketch, at a start by David Cone in 1988. More serious fans included Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, clapping in front row, center, during the 1969 World Series. The New York Times By BEN SHPIGEL Published: March 30, 2008 At Shea Stadium, five dollars sometimes covers the cost of a seat way at the top of the upper deck but not the Sherpa to lug the oxygen tanks. The view is comparable to that from the ubiquitous low-flying planes, whose passengers, if so inclined, could reach out the window and take a bite from your Italian sausage. Buying another one would involve navigating a concourse roughly the width of a coffee table and sidestepping the bathroom line that started forming five innings earlier. By any objective standard, Shea is bleak and outdated. It has not aged, shall we say, gracefully, its imperfections and architectural shortcomings growing more prominent over the years, particularly as glorious baseball-only parks have sprouted around the country.
