Famous Baseball Players and Their Teams
The Heroes, the Stars and the Stats
Baseball has a long tradition of excellence. The game of baseball was begun by Abner Doubleday in 1939, when he outlined a diamond-shaped field in the dirt and designated bases, a pitcher and a catcher. Doubleday went on to become a general in the Civil War. Baseball went on to become the great American pastime. We spend summer at the baseball stadium, cheering on their favorite teams. Or we watch on television. Baseball stars became our childhood heroes. As we grew up, they were our role models.
The game itself is simple, calling for nine players, three strikes and three outs. The bases are ninety feet apart, the baseballs made of leather and twine, and the bats constructed of wood. Although the rules of the game never seem to change, the game has a life of its own.
[famous baseball players and their teams] The Famous History of Baseball
[famous baseball player ted williams] The history of baseball is an interesting story in itself. Early teams all wore the same color uniforms and distinguished themselves by their stocking color. In the late 1880s, catchers wore a wire face guard modeled after a fencer’s mask. They used handmade leather balls called “lemon peel” balls because of the stitching pattern.
The first World Series was played in 1903.
The theme song of baseball “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” was written in 1908 by Jack Norworth, who wrote it while riding a subway train. His words were set to music by Albert Von Tilzer. Neither of them had actually seen a baseball game. The song is often played at baseball games during the Seventh Inning Stretch.
In 1914 and 1915, the eight-team Federal League tried to establish an independent professional league in competition with the American and National Leagues. After the 1915 season, half of the Federal teams were bought out by American and National League owners.
The first All-Star Game was held in Chicago’s Comiskey Park in 1933 in conjunction with the Century of Progress Exposition. Then, as now, it was an exhibition match, the best players of the National League against the best of the American League. Today, fans cast ballots for the starting lineup.
The introduction of lights to baseball stadiums transformed the sport. The first major league night game took place in 1935, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt turned on the switch from the White House to light Crosley Field in Cincinnati.”
debergerac78 presents Business Apology Tip #6 - Take responsibility posted at The Business Ethics Blog, saying, “Apologies mean little if they remain as simple words. If you must take responsibility for your business, consult a lawyer, and take all the steps necessary to rectify your client’s problem. You just might save yourself a lot of trouble.”
Brian McKay presents CD Early Withdrawal Penalties posted at MonitorBankRates.com, saying, “Certificate of deposit early withdrawal penalties will cause you to lose most of the interest you have earned, sometimes all of the CD interest depending on the bank.”
