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 postseason 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.

Interesting Stuff

THE WORLD SERIES (continued): • 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-year-old 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.

• 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 THE Continued on page 5

Pisces: (Yummy – fish) February 20 to March 20. This cat needs love, attention and to feel like a prince or princess. Frequent petting, grooming, and play sessions are a requirement to own a Pisces. A rhythmic purr will keep both your hearts in tune and an endless devotion will be your reward. Your cat will miss you when you are gone but do not create a noisy arrival back home or your cat will hide until the ‘all is safe’ signs are present. The month is named Pisces for a reason, your cat usually will favor a balanced fish diet.

Aries: (March 21 to April 20). A feline Aries

will be quite a challenge at first but love and attention will weld your hearts into one. Your Aries cat will be the boss in most of your future relations. This fierce competitor in play and hunting will constantly amuse and amaze you.

Gifts for the ‘pride’ will be presented. Red tabbies are favored in this time period. Creative playtimes will be needed to drain some of the energy from your energized cat. Be ready for a super-charged life with this feline.

Taurus: (April 21 to May 21). Taurus cats are

a beauty to behold and love the outdoor garden life. Their lounging around most of the day until their stomach grumbles, then off for a mouse meal or a snack. A compact cat is common for this month, combined with a great appetite that may require you to enroll your feline in Weight Watchers. Play will help to keep your cat in shape. This cat has a laid-back attitude about life and in the winter is a ‘couch potato.’

Scott ScottMcQueen McQueen The tourmaline gemstone group offers gemstone enthusiasts a great variety of colors.

However, not all colors occur with equal frequency and they are not equally well known.

A pure blue tourmaline with a fervent, translucent, radiant blue is one of the rarest gemstones around. They are highly valued because they are quite scarce and incredibly beautiful. Additional value may come from what some think they do for the wearer. Gemstone therapists* say the blue tourmaline makes people both honest and tolerant.

Blue tourmalines have quite a complex structure so cutting them demands patience and experience, something few lapidaries have.

The inside of a tourmaline can have areas of tension that can cause the stone to crack while being worked on. A cutter can easily ruin a tourmaline by holding it the wrong way against his cutting-wheel. Once a tourmaline survives the cutting process it is a rather tough gemstone that requires little care.

If you’re one of the fortunate few who own a blue tourmaline – the pleasure will be all yours and yours for a very long time! *Did you know there was such a thing?

WORLD SERIES (continued): became the first major U.S. earthquake ever to be broadcast by live television.• 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.

A: If the leak is caused by a worn seal or washer, you should be able to find an adequate replacement in a universal washer kit. This inexpensive item is available at hardware and home-improvement stores and has a variety of different washers and seals to solve problems exactly like yours.

The type of faucet you described is likely a hose bib. These are pretty reliable and long-lasting, but the washers can wear out just like any other faucet.

You’ll need to disassemble the handle to get to the assembly inside.

First, shut off water to the faucet at the nearest shutoff valve. This may be located under the sink, or further along the pipe-run since it’s a utility sink.

Unscrew the small screw in the top of the faucet’s handle. Then pull the handle up and off. Just below the stem is the packing nut -- the large nut just underneath the handle. Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the packing nut.

Next, carefully unscrew the spindle. It’s important to not scratch the spindle shaft or strip the ridges at the end of it. You can use pliers (channel-type) to do this, but try wrapping a soft cloth around the spindle to protect it. Remove the spindle from the faucet valve.

Now you’re ready to replace the damaged washers.

The assembly should have two: a packing washer, just under the packing nut; and a stem washer, near the bottom of the spindle. Remove the old washers, and locate same-size replacements from the universal kit.

Reassemble the spindle using the replacement washers, reinsert into the valve and screw the packing nut back into place. Slide the handle back on and attach with the small screw.

Test the faucet by turning the water back on and turning the faucet on and off.

HOME TIP: Some professionals recommend coating new washers with a heatproof grease to prevent them from cracking, while others say it doesn’t matter. Use your own judgment.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel • On Nov. 12, 1799, Andrew Ellicott Douglass, an early American astronomer born in Vermont, witnesses the Leonids meteor shower from a ship off the Florida Keys. Douglass’ journal entry is the first known record of a meteor shower in North America.

• On Nov. 17, 1869, the Suez Canal, connecting the Mediterranean and the Red seas, is opened.

The canal was only 25 feet deep, 72 feet wide at the bottom, and 200 to 300 feet wide at the surface. Fewer than 500 ships navigated it in its first full year of operation.

• On Nov. 16, 1907, Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory enter the United States as Oklahoma, the 46th state. Oklahoma initially prospered as an agricultural state, but the drought years of the 1930s made the state part of the Dust Bowl.

• On Nov. 14, 1941, “Suspicion,” a romantic thriller starring Cary Grant and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, makes its debut. The film marked the first time that Grant, a Hollywood leading man, and Hitchcock, one of the greatest directors in movie history, worked together.

• On Nov. 15, 1957, Nikita Khrushchev challenges United States to a missile “shooting match,” claiming that the Soviet Union had missile superiority over the United States. He also claimed that the United States did not have intercontinental ballistic rockets; “If she had,” the Russian leader sneered, “she would have launched her own sputnik [satellite].”

• On Nov. 13, 1969, in Washington, protesters stage a symbolic “March Against Death” with more than 45,000 participants, each with a placard bearing the name of a soldier who had died in Vietnam. The march lasted for two days and two nights. President Richard Nixon was deeply angered by the protests, but publicly feigned indifference.

• On Nov. 11, 1973, the Soviet Union announces that, because of its opposition to the overthrow of the government of Chilean President Allende, it would not play a World Cup Soccer match against the Chilean team.

• If you find brushing your teeth to be tedious, you might want to check out the Blizzident. The makers of this new product use a 3D scan of your teeth to create a custom toothbrush that looks like a mouthpiece lined with bristles. Supposedly, all you have to do is insert the Blizzident in your mouth, bite down and release 10 times, and -- voila! -clean teeth in 6 seconds. Be prepared to pay for the convenience, though; a Blizzident of your very own will set you back $299. The toothbrush will last for a year, though, and replacement bristles are $89.

• Those who study such things say that by the year 2020, more data will be created in a single hour than had been created in the entire world over the 30,000 years leading up to the 21st century.

• Here’s an experiment for you: Find a piece of paper and write the word “suns.” Turn the paper upside down. It still says “suns.”

• There are more public libraries in the United States than there are McDonald’s restaurants. For the moment, at any rate.

• You might think that once gloves were introduced to the sport of boxing, it became safer to be a boxer. You’d be wrong. After the introduction of boxing gloves, death rates actually went up. It seems that when bare-knuckle boxing, hardly anybody would get hit in the face -- the one who threw the punch was too likely to end up with a broken hand. *** Thought for the Day: “The graveyards are full of indispensable men.” -- Charles de Gaulle (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

No matter what you do with your computer there is data stored on it, be it financial records, photos, recipes, contact information, etc. backing up your computer is the most important task you can do to keep your data safe. Things go wrong with computers, whether it is from a natural event, old age, malware or a disk failure things go wrong.

You can buy a new machine and reload the software, but what about the data? If you have not backed up the data usually it’s gone.

Backing up your data takes two forms: archiving and routine backups. Archiving is done when the data is to be kept forever, for example photos, yearly tax returns, annual financial information, etc. For archiving you only have to size the media so that the data will fit on it for that particular instance and don’t forget to label the media with its contents. Keep in mind that all media types have a life expectancy, so make sure you know the life of the media and plan accordingly.

• 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.

Routine backups are done for data that gets used or changed on a regular basis. Routine backups can be done either locally or online, both have their advantages and disadvantages and some users do both. In any event explore your options before you decide what path to take.

Remember in order to be effective backups must be done on a regular basis.

• 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.

• 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.

Chasing after a “hot” investment — By the time you hear about a supposedly “hot” investment, it may already be cooling off. But even more importantly, it might not have been appropriate for your diversification needs in the first place, especially if you already own similar investments.

Investing too aggressively — To achieve your longterm goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you will unquestionably need to own a reasonable percentage of growth-oriented investments in your portfolio. However, the greater the potential reward, the greater the risk, so you don’t want to go overboard by investing too aggressively.

Investing too conservatively — Some types of investments can offer a high degree of preservation of principal. But they carry their own type of risk — the risk of not keeping up with inflation. Consequently, just as it’s not a good idea to invest too aggressively and own only growth-oriented investments, it’s also not wise to invest too conservatively by owning only those vehicles that sacrifice growth potential for principal protection.

Following the crowd — In many arenas of life, you’ll find that it may make sense to go your own way rather than “follow the crowd.” And that’s usually the case with investing, too. It’s quite common for the “crowd” to collectively make an unwise investment decision — so, make your choices based on your individual needs, goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

Taking a time out from investing — After sustaining big losses during the financial crisis of 2008, many investors decided to take a “time out” from investing — which meant they may have missed out on the rally that began in 2009 and ultimately resulted in the financial markets achieving record highs. The best investors just keep on investing right through market downturns — and, quite often, their persistence is rewarded.

Overreacting to the headlines — Too often, people will make long-term changes to their investment strategy in response to short-term news events, such as political turmoil, a bad economic report and even natural disasters. You’ll likely help your cause tomorrow by not overreacting to the headlines today.

Underreacting to changes in your life —You will experience many changes in your life, such as a new job, new spouse, new children, new home, the “empty nest” and so on. Many of these changes may require changes in your investment strategy. You could jeopardize your progress toward your financial goals by not reviewing this strategy regularly — at least once a year, in consultation with your financial advisor — and making the necessary adjustments in response to your evolving life.

By staying away from “scary” investment moves, you may well find that investing can be a positive, productive experience. And that’s not a frightening thought at all.

But Frank, he never made mistakes, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never argue back, even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! I never knew him to make a mistake! No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman."
