Salmon run

“This record is not tainted at all, at all,” Bonds said. “Period. You guys can say whatever you want.” This was Barry Bonds in the post-game interview after hitting his 756th career home run to beat the record previously held by Hank Aaron. Reactions to this were varied, as some stood up for Bonds, while others bashed him. Either way, the use of steroids is wrong. Athletes that are proven to have used steroids in their careers should be forced to forfeit their titles because they gain an unfair…

broke out of his slump, going on to hit .361 with 11 homers and 50 RBIs during his stay in the minor leagues(ESPN). Nine years later in the heart of mantles career on September 10th, 1960 Mickey Mantle supposedly hit what’s now called “the longest home run ever” measured in at 643 ft. By the end of his career, he got on base almost half the time…

So you see the Yankees had a pretty good offense. Like most MlB there were times where the Yankees struggled to score runs so even well pitched games like a one to nothing game the Yankees still lost because of the struggling offense it happens to every team during a season it is a common thing for every team during a season, no team can have a great offense all throughout…

The coaches game plan and their strategy to score against opponents were not favorable by a team’s fan base. Barry Bonds, with the help of a couple other notable home run hitters, reeled in fans across the nation to watch them play and hit home runs. On a baseball team’s line up for batting, the fourth hitting spot in the lineup of nine was designated for the most powerful hitter on the roster. With this tactic coaches, across the MLB, hoped for their first…

the effectual elimination from future efforts in the long run. At the same time there is an internal aspect to organizations commonly referred to as the company or corporate culture that possess a special significance. And although they generally share similar characteristics to the surrounding society in which a company operates, it adds a unique accretion of organizational philosophy, values, and policies. Corporate cultures tend to run deep and have historically undermined several famous…

having to go to the professor for help. In reality, that means that you’re smart but you just can’t figure out why something is how it is and you want to know. Never be afraid of going to a professor and asking for help. It will help you in the long run more than you think it…

Today, most countries function under a regime of fiat money, in which a national currency has value based on government claims that it does. Operating in a fractional reserve banking system where banks only keep a fraction of all their deposits in reserve, it is the role of central banks to protect and preserve its value and ensure its stability (Plosser, 2014). Central banks play a very important role in the fractional reserve banking system, because their goal is to limit the freedom of banks…

Our coach brings in Nick to relieve Jackson. As a matter of fact, Nick struck out two batters and almost three. The count was two strikes three balls I know this because I was catching for this pitcher, but the very next pitch the batter hit a HOME RUN over the left field fence. After that some of us gave up. Some of us kept our heads up and kept believing. It would take the entire team working together for this come back to happen, not just one person. That wasn't the case for us only three of…

I played sophomore baseball for Senior over the summer. It was the best season I've ever had as a Dubuque Senior High School baseball player. I was the pitcher on the team, also known as the "Ace". Before the last couple of games we had an anonymous team vote on which award people should get. At the end of the season we had a potluck with the varsity team and the sophomore team. Everyone showed up with haircuts and their parents. When I got there I just saw everyone in a circle talking to each…

I slipped my feet into my dirt filled cleats and tied the old crusty laces. I heard the thud of a baseball hitting someone’s mitt as my teammates began to play catch and start our warm up routine. I could feel the crunching of dirt from my cleats as I trotted out to my usual position of second base. I fielded the ground balls thrown by our first basemen and heard the classic yelling of, “Coming down!” from our catcher as he threw the ball down to me covering second base. We threw the ball around…
