December 31 2003-- Relive the golden days of the 1950s in this amazing account. When the lights came on again after World War II, they illuminated a nation ready for heroes and a city--New York--eager for entertainment. Baseball provided the heroes, and the Yankees, the Giants, and the Dodgers--with their rivalries, their successes, their stars--provided the show.

"We shall not have such an era again except in such loving books as this one." --Red Barber

SEE YOURSELF AS A WINNER

By Sharon Dalton Williams

Whether or not you follow baseball, I’m sure you’ve heard of
the New York Yankees baseball team. This team won the World
Series three years in a row in 1998, 1999, and 2000, in
addition to the many other wins from years past.

The baseball playoffs were played during October, 2001. The
Yankees made it to the playoffs because of their winning
record during the season. The first hurdle they had to get
over in order to play in the 2001 World Series was the
American League Championship.

When the American League Championship started, the first two
games were played at Yankee Stadium. Teams rarely won on
Yankees’ home turf. But the Yankees lost the first two games
of the league championship.

The odds were not in the Yankees’ favor. They had lost the
first two games, and they were headed to another stadium in
front of other fans to continue play. Some of the sports
news coming out already had the Yankees losing the league
championship. A number of teams at this juncture would have
given up hope of winning.

I found it interesting that whenever Yankee players were
interviewed, never once did they even hint that they might
lose. They looked back over their season record. They looked
around at the caliber of their fellow players. They looked
inside themselves. All they talked about was how they were
going to win.

And win they did. They won the final three games of the
league championship and advanced to the division championship.
They eventually made it to the World Series because they saw
themselves as winners.

Here’s a million dollar question for you - how do you see
yourself? Do you see yourself as a winner, especially in your
online business?

A winner:

1) Hangs in until success breaks through.

2) Remembers past victories and knows victory will come again.

3) Looks at rough circumstances as opportunities for growth.

4) Thinks success, speaks success, acts success.

5) Helps others succeed.

If you want to make it to the next level in business, then you
will need to see yourself as a winner!

Striking Out When Talking Baseball? 5 Terms to Toss Out and Sound Like a Pro (Even When You’re Not)

By Anonymous

Denver, CO June 1, 2004 -- An estimated 145 million Americans are baseball fans. That means that lots of people will spend a great deal of time hanging at the ballpark, watching their children play little league or being swept into baseball-related conversations over the water cooler at work. If your understanding of the game is minor league, these conversations can leave you in fear of striking out. Discover how to hold your own when fans start tossing around “foreign” terms like “bunt” (hint: they aren’t talking about a cake!) and find a few phrases you can toss out to sound like a pro. “Understanding the ‘jock jargon’ used in baseball can greatly increase the enjoyment of the game for casual fans,” says Michelle Mink, author of See Sport Run: Spectator’s Guide to Baseball.

Mink wrote See Sport Run to help casual fans and parents “fill in the blanks” in their baseball knowledge. A small paperback, the book fits easily into a purse or backpack and contains easy-to-understand explanations about field layout, teams, officials, coaches, players, rules, strategies and other basics of the game.

To help you look like a pro when talking baseball, Mink shares five terms you can toss out that will make everyone think you are a major league fan:

1.
Boys of Summer – a nickname for baseball players.
2.
Bigs – Slang for the major league playing level. When a player or coach is promoted from a farm team to the major league club you can say, “He’s going to the Bigs.”
3.
Chin Music – Slang for a pitch thrown high and inside near the batter’s face. Also called a bowtie. For example, “That chin music should stop the batter from crowding the plate.”
4.
Heat – Slang for a good fastball. For example, “The batter can’t handle his heat today.”
5.
Hot Corner – Slang for third base. For example, “What a catch by the third baseman! That’s why they put him on the hot corner!” Armed with your knowledge of insider lingo you are all set to hold your own this baseball season. Step up to the plate!
