TIDBITS® HEADS TO THE

WORLD SERIES

by Kathy Wolfe The World Series is scheduled to begin on October 23. Tidbits takes you out to the ball game with the history of baseball’s Fall Classic, and says, “Play ball!”

• Although Major League Baseball has had some sort of post-season championship series since about 1884, the World Series as we know it began in 1903 when the Pittsburgh Pirates competed against the Boston Americans.

Boston took the Series in what was then a nine-game series, five games to three.

• Every now and then, all the World Series games were played in one city, for example, the 1906 Series which was played by the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox. But it’s pretty rare for all the games to be played in the same ballpark. In 1921 and 1922, both New York teams, the Yankees and the Giants used the Polo Grounds as their park, where all the games were played. In 1944, the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Browns battled it out in one stadium, Sportsman’s Park.

• The World Series ring is a familiar award given to players as a token of their victory.

However, up until 1922, players received pocket watches or medallions as a memento.

The 1922 New York Giants were the first team to receive rings as a keepsake from the championship.

by Samantha Weaver

● It was Mark Twain who made the following sage observation: “The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.” ● In a recent survey, more than one-third of respondents admitted that they had dinged the car, then lied to their spouse, saying someone else was responsible for the damage. ● Presidential security was not as always as formidable as it is today. In 1913, former President Theodore Roosevelt was walking down a Milwaukee street, heading to a speech he was scheduled to give. A man named John Schrank pulled out a gun and shot toward Roosevelt, who staggered but did not fall. There was no blood evident, and Roosevelt, who was campaigning for a second term, insisted on delivering his speech. When he pulled from a coat pocket the 100 pages on which his speech was written, he saw a bullet hole through the sheets of paper. Still determined to carry on, he gave the speech before going to the hospital, where it was discovered that the bullet had penetrated 4 inches into his body. After the perpetrator was arrested, it became evident that Shcrank was insane; he claimed that President William McKinley had revealed to him in a dream that Roosevelt was responsible for McKinley’s assassination. Shrank spent the next 32 years in an insane asylum. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

• The winning pitchers in all four games of the 1934 series were brothers. Dizzy Dean and Paul Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals each won two games in the classic against the Detroit Tigers.

• In the 1960 World Series, the Pittsburgh Pirates were pitted against the New York Yankees. The Yankees scored 55 runs to the Pirates’ 27, yet the Pirates won the Series.

The Yankees were victors in three games 16-3, 10-0, and 12-0. The Pirates won four games 6-4, 3-2, 5-2, and 10-9. Game Four was won on a 9th-inning homer.

• In 1996, the Atlanta Braves’ Andruw Jones became the youngest player ever to hit a home run in the World Series. The 19-yearold was also only the second player ever to hit two home runs in his first two at-bats in a World Series. Unfortunately, the Braves still lost that Series to the Yankees.

• Even though Major League Baseball started holding night games in 1935, the World Series was a daytime event for decades.

In 1949, one of the Series games had to be finished under lights for the first time, but the first actual scheduled night game was in 1971 in Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium.

From that point on, games were frequently scheduled at night, in order to capitalize on larger television audiences. There hasn’t been a daytime World Series game since 1987, when Game Six was played indoors at Minneapolis’ Metrodome.

• The Yankees have played in more Series than any other team, 40 appearances with 27 wins. Their first win was in 1923, the year that the original Yankee Stadium opened.

In second place, the St. Louis Cardinals are way behind with just 10 titles. The player with the most World Series titles is Yankees catcher Yogi Berra, who played from the late 1940s until the early 1960s.

Yogi has also played the most Series games, a record 75.

THE WORLD SERIES (continued): • Several teams have experienced a long old dry spell without a World Series win. The Boston Red Sox were winners in 1918 over the Chicago Cubs, but waited 86 years for their next title in 2004 over the St. Louis Cardinals. The 1917 Chicago White Sox triumphed over the New York Giants, but couldn’t do it again for another 88 years, when they were the 2005 champions. The Chicago Cubs are still waiting! They were the 1907 and 1908 champs, but haven’t managed to collect a World Series title since. (The Cubs did make it to the Series in 1945, but were defeated.) They had their early wins in Weeghman Park before moving into Wrigley Field in 1914. Fans are optimistic that the upcoming $500 million upgrade to Wrigley will produce the elusive title.

• Some teams have never won the World Series – the San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies, and Texas Rangers (although the Rangers did compete in both 2010 and 2011). There are two teams who haven’t yet managed to make it to the Series, the Washington Nationals (formerly the Montreal Expos) and the Seattle Mariners.

• The only non-American team to take the Series has been Canada’s Toronto Blue Jays, who defeated the Atlanta Braves in 1992 and the Philadelphia Phillies in 1993. The Jays are also the only Canadian team to host a World Series game.

• Game 3 of the 1989 Series was scheduled to start at 5:35 on October 17. The two Bay Area teams, the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A’s were warming up when a 7.1 magnitude earthquake shook the area. Due to the many cameras lined up for the game, the Loma Prieta earthquake became the first major U.S. earthquake ever to be broadcast by live television.

Hawkeye Publishing, L.L.C. www.tidbitpapers.com For Advertising E-mail: ads@tidbitpapers.com or Call (319) 350-5698 THE WORLD SERIES (continued): • The World Series has been played every year since 1903, with two exceptions. In 1904, John T. Brush, president of the National League’s New York Giants, refused to allow his team to play against the Boston Americans because he considered the American League team too inferior. World War I, World War II, the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic, and the Great Depression couldn’t keep the Series down. But the baseball strike of 1994 could. The 232-day strike from August, 1994 until April, 1995, led to the cancellation of nearly 950 games, including the entire 1994 post-season and World Series.

Unfortunately for the Montreal Expos, it had been the best season of their history, and in fact, the best record in baseball, 74-40. They were never to get close to the Series again. • Scandal struck the World Series in 1919 when eight members of the Chicago White Sox were banned from professional baseball for conspiring to fix the series and profit from it by intentionally allowing the opposing team, the Cincinnati Reds, to win.

In what became known as the Black Sox incident, the first baseman, who had longstanding ties to underworld kingpins, agreed to accept $100,000 to throw the Series, and set about convincing seven of his team members, including “Shoeless� Joe Jackson.

Speculation was that players were unhappy with the stinginess of team owner Charles Comiskey who had supposedly treated the members unfairly and grossly underpaid them.

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD:

ELLA FITZGERALD

It didn’t look like Ella Jane Fitzgerald’s life was going to amount to much, but a lucky break led to her career as “The First Lady of Song.”

Follow along this popular jazz singer’s journey to fame.

• Ella’s parents separated shortly after her birth, and she and her mother moved to Yonkers, New York. When Ella was six, she was joined by a new sister, Frances. Her stepfather was a ditchdigger and part-time chauffeur, while her mother worked at a laundromat. As a child, Ella worked as a runner for local gamblers, picking up bets and distributing winnings.

• When Ella was 15, her mother died from injuries received in a car accident, and Ella went to live with her aunt. Shortly afterward, her stepfather died from a heart attack, and Frances joined Ella and their aunt.

• Life was not happy for Ella, and her schoolwork suffered significantly. She was frequently truant, and before long was in trouble with the law and was sent to reform school, where she was beaten by the personnel there. Ella managed to escape, but was without money and alone in the midst of the Great Depression.

• Each week, Harlem’s Apollo Theater hosted an amateur talent night, and in 1934, when Ella was 17, her name was selected in the drawing to compete. She was planning a dance number, but when the preceding act featured some rather exceptional dancers, Ella made a last-minute decision to sing, one that would change her life. She crooned one of her mother’s favorites, and at the end, the audience demanded an encore.

• Several more talent show wins followed, and early in 1935, the prize was a week-long gig at the Harlem Opera House. A popular bandleader, Chick Webb, heard Ella and invited her to travel with the band for $12.50 a week.

• Ella recorded her first song at 19, and had a number one song and million-copy seller at 21.

Her version of the nursery rhyme, “A Tisket, A-Tasket” in a swing/bebop style stayed on the charts for 17 weeks.

• When Ella was 22, her mentor Chick Webb passed away, and the band was renamed “Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Band,” as she took on the bandleader duties for the next three years. She then began touring and recording with other big bands, including those of Dizzy Gillespie and Louis Armstrong. She married the bass player of Gillespie’s group, Ray Brown, and the couple adopted a son.

• Ella mastered the technique of “scat” singing, that vocal improvisation of nonsense syllables that mimics another instrument in the band. In other words, her voice performed the equivalent of an instrumental solo, with scales, arpeggios, and riffs.

• During the 1950s and 1960s, Ella was a regular on television variety shows, “The Bing Crosby Show,” “The Dinah Shore Show,” “The Andy Williams Show,” and “The Ed Sullivan Show,” among several others.

• Over the course of her career, Ella Fitzgerald recorded over 200 albums, which produced sales of 40 million albums, won 13 Grammy Awards, and performed at Carnegie Hall 26 times. Circulation problems related to diabetes resulted in Ella having both of her legs amputated below the knees when she was 76. Never fully recovering, she passed away at age 79 in 1996.

Heart-Health Cruise in the Caribbean What are you doing next Valentines Day? Even if you’re not in a relationship, you can do something special ... for your heart.

Princess Cruises and the American Heart Association have teamed up to create a heart-health cruise as part of the ship line’s “Cruising for a Cause” program.

With the Holidays fast approaching, let’s do all we can to change our dirty filter and oil as we fill the dining room and living room with our loved ones. Too often, a bad filter and dirty oil will cause broken relationships and rundown families.

This is the perfect time to make the needed change. If you are holding someone hostage for an injustice, free them and let them go. If someone is holding you hostage for something you did, own it, apologize, and get up and out of the pothole.

Grudges, guilt, judging, and umpiring keep your filter dirty causing separation with loved ones. Change your filter (Word of God) and add new oil (Holy Spirit) to make this Holiday Season a moral, honest, and righteous one.

“Learn to do what is right and commit yourselves to it” Isaiah 1:17 Now is the time!!!
