TIDBITS® LOOKS AT

BASEBALL PITCHERS

by Janet Spencer

In honor of spring training, come along with Tidbits as we remember some unforgettable moments brought to you by memorable pitchers.

• In the 1940s, Bobo Newsom was batting for the Yankees against White Sox pitcher Joe Haynes. He swung and nicked the ball, which rolled back to the pitcher. Realizing it was useless to even try to run to first base, Bobo headed back to the dugout. But instead of throwing to first, Haynes just stood and watched Bobo walk away. When the crowd began to laugh, Bobo turned and saw the pitcher still had the ball. So he began to stroll towards first base. So did Haynes. He walked a little faster. Haynes did too. Suddenly he broke into a sprint. Haynes began to run, finally lobbing the ball to first base seconds ahead of Bobo.

• In 1934, Dodger manager Casey Stengel had pitcher Walter Beck replaced in the game. In a temper, Beck threw the ball and it hit the rightfield wall. The Dodger rightfielder had been “resting his eyes” while recovering from a hangover.

He heard the ball hit the wall, scooped it up, threw it to second, and then discovered that no one had hit it.

WE COME TO YOU. NO HASSLE.

• Luke Appling went to bat for the White Sox in a game against the Tigers in the 1930s. He hit 14 consecutive foul balls. On the 15th pitch, the disgusted pitcher threw his glove instead of the ball.

• In 1961, Cleveland Indian pitcher Herb Score was hit in the eye by a line drive hit by New York Yankee Gil McDougald. The ball bounced off Score’s head and rolled to first base, where the Cleveland first baseman nabbed it and put the batter out. Score was credited with an assist.

• Joe Engel, pitching in Washington, did not do a very good job. The question was not whether his pitches would go over the plate but whether they would stay in the ballpark. Manager Clark Griffith called him to his office one day and informed him he was being sent to Minneapolis.

“Who am I being traded for?” Engel asked. “No one,” replied Griffith. “It’s an even trade!”

• In 1918, Otis Crandall was pitching for Los Angeles against Salt Lake City. He had a perfect no-hitter going. There were two out in the ninth inning and not a single man had reached base.

Then his brother Karl came to bat for Salt Lake.

He made a base hit — the only known instance where a no-hitter was broken by the pitcher’s brother.

• William Kennedy was pitching for Brooklyn in 1897 when the umpire called a close decision against him. Kennedy lost his temper and hurled the baseball at the umpire, intending to smack him in the head. The ball narrowly missed the ump, who called the ball in play. A runner on base scored before the catcher could retrieve the ball. Brooklyn lost the game 2 - 1.

• Bob Fothergill was a big man. He was a good hitter, but he was sensitive about his weight. As Leo Durocher got ready to pitch against him, he called out, “Stop the game!” and approached the umpire. When the ump asked what was wrong, Durocher replied, “Don’t you know the rules?” he asked, pointing at Fothergill. “BOTH those guys can’t bat at the same time!” Fothergill was so angry he couldn’t bat well and struck out.

• Ty Cobb, playing for the Detroit Tigers in 1912, was suspended from play when he jumped into the stands and beat up an abusive heckler. His sympathetic teammates went on strike. So the manager advertised for new players to fill in the next day at a game in Philadelphia. This impromptu team went up against the world champion Oakland A’s. The pitcher allowed 25 hits and 7 walks in 8 innings, but did manage to get one strike-out. An infielder was hit in the mouth by a ground ball and lost two teeth.

An outfielder was hit on the head by a fly ball.

This pick-up team got 4 hits and made 10 errors and the final score was 24 - 2. The next day, the regular team members ended their strike, paid their fines, and went back to work, except for Cobb, who was suspended for 10 days.

Easter/Spring Plants That Are Highly Toxic To Cats!

The coming of Spring and the first flowers can bring joy and beauty of a new growing season. Easter starts the growing season with many beautiful but poisonous plants. The Tiger Lily and Easter Lily are very toxic. Many domestic felines have lost their natural sense of which plants are toxic and which are not. The most likely explanations are the loss of their natural diet, living in human housing and being exposed many unnatural surroundings and products (plastics, lawns, gardens, houses, cars, chemicals, drugs, electricity, sounds, smells, lights, TV, etc., etc.).

Highly Toxic Plants to Cats: • Kalanchoe (Devil’s backbone, Mexican hat plant) – all parts of the plant/flowers • Oleander – all parts especially dry/dead leaves • Foxglove – all parts especially flowers, fruit and young leaves • Lily of the Valley – all parts, especially the roots • Taxus genus (Yews) – all parts are toxic • Prunus genus – primarily the seeds of Apples, Apricots, Cherries, Peaches, Plums • Solanaceae (Nightshade) – all parts, especially berries and unripe fruit • Ranunculaceae (Buttercup) – fresh leaves and stems • Araceae (Peace Lily, Ivy, Philodendron, Dieffenbachia, Dumbcane) – all parts, stems • Lilies (all types – Easter Lilies, Tiger Lilies, etc.) – all parts, even pollen • Castor Bean – all parts, especially the beans • Cycad Palms – all parts, especially the seeds • Autumn Crocuses – all parts, especially flowers, corm, and seeds • Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow – all parts are toxic • Rhododendron – all parts are toxic Many house or garden plants have the potential to be toxic year round and some have seasonal toxicities.

It is best not to have plants around domestic cats unless you have done your research to see if those plants are safe. If you are unsure if your plants are safe – research on-line, talk with your garden center or contact the National Animal Poison Control Center – a 24 hour emergency service with phones answered by licensed veterinarians and toxicologists – there is a $60 consultation fee for each call – 1-888-426-4435.

There are hundreds of plants that are mildly toxic, moderately toxic and very toxic to cats, dogs and humans so beware of the beauty around us and learn which plants can harm.

The name sapphire is derived from the Greek meaning “blue”. The sapphire does have a deep rich blue that can vary all the way to a pale blue.

It can also be found in almost every color in the spectrum including brown, orange, yellow, green indigo, violet, or mauve. Blue, however, is the most popular. So, when choosing a suitable sapphire, keep in mind the color you want. Which one you choose may depend on your skin tones, the type of jewelry you are wearing, and the particular fashion statement you wish to make.

Also look at the quality of the stone. Examine it from all angles and ensure the color is even throughout the stone.

Choose what YOU want, but most people choose blue. Why? Because sapphire blue symbolizes loyalty as in the term “true blue”. The blue can also give expression to love and longing as found in George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”. And do you remember the name of the first computer that succeeded in defeating a world chess champion? It was “Deep Blue”. The price of a sapphire can also make you blue as top quality sapphires are extremely rare.

Can I Sell My Home Myself and Save a Lot of Money?

Windows Starting at

$185

This questions comes to mind when home owners are considering putting their home up for sale.

After all, everyone wants to walk away with the most money they can after selling their home right? And it can cost the seller 6% to list with a Realtor which could be a few thousand dollars. So with some companies advertising to help you sell your home yourself, it sounds pretty good.

DANGER AHEAD!!! Be careful. There are several misconceptions about this idea that can cause you a lot of headaches and cost you money.

Let’s consider a few: 1. How do you know what your home is Really worth? Besides having an appraisal, only a professional Realtor has the resources to analyze the market and make comparisons of your home and homes that have sold like yours, to know what it is worth.

2. Listing your home on a real estate web site does not mean your home is on the market.

It’s not! Your home will be seen by very few people. When you list with a Realtor, your home will be shown on Thousands of search engines and web sites where serious buyers will see your home.

3. Realtors have hundreds of buyers that are pre-approved for a loan and ready to buy.

Those buyers won’t be shown your home as you have no commission for their work.

4. You don’t know who you are letting in your home to see it. With a Realtor, all buyers are known.

5. How many homes have you sold and negotiated for? Do you know all the rules and disclosures you must have? Most of the time you are in over your head.

6. Now for the real truth. National Realtor Statistics show that people who sell their home themselves get 16% LESS MONEY than a Realtor. So most of the time, you will walk away with more money in your pocket and many less headaches listing with a Realtor, than going it alone.

So if you are thinking of selling you home, call me and let me show you what your home is worth and how we can get it sold quickly and for top dollar.

PITCHER SHENANIGANS (continued): • Charlie Grimm was managing the losing Chicago Cubs. One day he got an excited call from his scout saying that he found a pitcher who struck out 27 men in a row. Only one man had even managed to hit a foul. He asked if he should sign the pitcher. Grimm replied, “Sign up the guy who hit the foul. We’re looking for hitters!”

• Germany Schaefer was batting against Nick Altrock. There was a man on first. Schaefer swung and missed a fast ball. Then the pitcher, pretending he was getting ready to throw to the batter, let loose with a fast ball to first base, where the runner was leading off.

• When he got the ball back, Altrock let fly another scorcher of a fastball. Schaefer got a second strike. He threw down his bat and walked back to the dugout. “Hey,” called the ump, “You’ve only got two strikes!” “No,” replied Schaefer, “It’s three strikes — I swung at that pitch he threw to first base!”

• In the early 1900s, Rube Waddell was such a great pitcher that all batters feared him. One day the pitcher on the opposing team got a great idea: if he could tire Waddell out before the game, his pitching would be off. So he challenged Waddell to a pitching contest. Whichever one of them could throw the farthest would win $5. They both showed up before the game and threw the ball as far as they could. Waddell’s throw went farthest. The opposing pitcher challenged him to throw that far again. He did. In fact, he threw the ball that far around 50 times. Convinced that Waddell’s arm would be worn out, the rival pitcher handed over the $5. That afternoon, Waddell struck out 14 batters and his team won handily. As he was walking to the clubhouse, he called out to the other pitcher, “Hey, thanks for the workout this morning. That was swell practice!”

• Texas University was up against the Yankees in an exhibition game when Lou Gehrig came up to bat. There were two runners on base and it was three and two for Gehrig. The catcher signaled the pitcher, the pitcher nodded — then threw a straight ball right to home plate. Gehrig sent it clear out of the park. The catcher marched up the pitcher, ranting at him for not paying attention to the signals. “Why did you throw him such a nice pitch?” he yelled. The pitcher was not sorry.

“I got to thinking: I’ll never pitch a Big League game and maybe I’ll never get to see a game at the Yankee Stadium, and I sure did want to see Gehrig bust just one!”

• In 1939, Bob Feller was the best known pitcher in the country, playing for Cleveland. On Mother’s Day, he brought his mother from her Iowa farm to Chicago so she could see him play. A Chicago White Sox batter slugged a foul ball into the stands — where it hit Feller’s mother, knocking her unconscious.

Ask the Dentist Q: Does Gum Disease Cause Heart Attacks?

A: Yes…….and strokes, low birth weight babies. Recent research proves a definite link between gum disease, heart disease, stroke, and pre-term low birth weight babies.

Good oral health is more than just having an attractive smile; it can have a definite relationship to your overall health, lifestyle, and longevity. The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) reports that more than 90 percent of all systemic diseases can be manifest in abnormal oral health.

Q: How do I know if I have Gum Disease?

A: Warning signs of gum disease include: • Stinky breath • Puffy, red, sore gums that may bleed when brushing or flossing • Loose teeth • Changes in the way the bite fits or feels • Receding gums exposing the root surfaces Q: Is gum disease contagious?

A: Yes! The bad bugs (“bacteria”) that cause gum disease are readily passed from one person to another. (Be sure to “think before you kiss”!)

Gum disease (Periodontal Disease) is an infection in the gums and bone supporting the teeth, caused by specific bacteria.

These bacteria organize into a sticky, creamy, stinky substance (paque) that sticks tenaciously around the teeth and gums.

Gum disease can advance for years without detection or pain.

Damage to the supporting bone is irreversible.

The best cure is prevention before it happens or stopping gum disease in its tracks before major damage and tooth loss occur, and before you pass it to your “significant other”.

Help Yourself Reduce Investment Stress You probably

aren’t too worried about it, but April is Stress Awareness Month. Each year, the Health Resource Network sponsors this “month” to inform people about the dangers of stress and to share successful coping strategies. Obviously, it’s important to reduce stress in all Cindy Rose walks of life — including your investment activities. How can you cut down on the various stresses associated with investing?

Here are a few possible “stress-busters”: Know your risk tolerance. If you’re constantly worrying about the value of your investments, your portfolio may simply be too volatile for your individual risk tolerance. Conversely, if you’re always feeling that your investments will never provide you with the growth you need to achieve your long-term goals, you might be investing too conservatively.

Know what to expect from your investments.

Uncertainty is often a leading cause of stress. So when you purchase investments that are mysterious to you, you shouldn’t be surprised if they perform in ways that raise your stress levels.

Pinecrest Community Church is a fellowship of Christ-followers actively demonstrating our love for God by caring and loving one another and serving the communities we live and work in.

Do we always get it right? Nope. We freely admit that we're imperfect.

We're all different, with different stories and different life struggles, but we come together as one fellowship under the grace and cross of Jesus Christ.

We invite you to take this spiritual journey with us in a casual atmosphere of fellowship, worship, and relevant Biblical teaching.

¥ On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere and William Dawes set out on horseback from Boston to warn leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were marching on Concord on a mission to confiscate the Massachusetts militia arsenal and capture Adams and Hancock. ¥ On April 19, 1876, a Wichita, Kan., commission votes not to rehire policeman Wyatt Earp after he beats up a candidate for county sheriff.

Earp’s Remington pistol made an effective club: Whenever possible, he preferred to pistol-whip his opponents rather than shoot them. ¥ On April 16, 1897, Frederick Winterbotham, one of Britain’s top code breakers, is born. Winterbotham would play a decisive role in the World War II Ultra code-breaking project, enabling British intelligence to intercept top-secret messages (even from Hitler) transmitted to and between German armed forces. ¥ On April 21, 1930, a fire at an Ohio prison kills 320 inmates, some of whom burn to death when they are not unlocked from their cells. The prison, built to hold 1,500 people, housed 4,300 prisoners at the time of the fire. ¥ On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson, age 28, becomes the first black player in Major League Baseball when he steps onto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, N.Y., to compete for the Dodgers.

Baseball had been segregated for more than 50 years. ¥ On April 17, 1964, the Ford Mustang is officially unveiled by Henry Ford II at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. That same day, the new car also debuted in Ford showrooms across America, and almost 22,000 Mustangs were immediately snapped up by buyers. Ford sold more than 400,000 Mustangs in its first year. ¥ On April 20, 1971, the Pentagon releases figures confirming that “fragging” is on the rise in Vietnam, with hundreds of reported incidents.

Fragging was a slang term used to describe U.S. military personnel tossing a fragmentation hand grenade (hence the term “fragging”) to kill or wound or a fellow soldier, usually a superior officer or NCO. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

THE HAIRCUT Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.

Bankruptcy

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.

After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.

HOLY HUMOR A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!"

His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?

The son replied, "I do know!"

"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"

"That's easy, Daddy..." the young boy replied excitedly," It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth..'

"Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, it's morning."

While driving in Pennsylvania , a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust."

HILL LAW OFFICE, P.C. Lawrence R. Hill, Attorney at Law

Way Progress

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter.

Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times.

If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment.

Forgive us our trespasses."

When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
