    The saga of old Geo. Ochenski continues. As Geo. sat on his rock, watching the Cadillac, getting smaller and smaller, until it was just a dot on the horizon before it disappeared over the hilltop. He sat there for some time, with his head in his hands. Contemplating, about what the elderly gentleman had said. As wheels of the mind began to turn the gears of thought, 'old Geo could almost hear them groan' from lack of usage. Suddenly the old 25 watt incandescent light bulb, lite up. Somewhere in the dark shadowy corners of his mind, stirred an almost unheard of phenomenal, reasoning was taking place. In panic Geo almost shelved it in disbelief. Slowly, oh so very slowly it came to the front of his mind. But, in the dim light of the 25 watt bulb, Geo was unable to understand it. Geo shook his head, in an effort to clear it. But, as with most things, Geo tried to do, it ended in failure. In shaking his head, Geo had accidentally turned on, the other 25 watt bulb on the right side of his brain, which he almost never used. As the light became brighter, Geo was slowly able to make out the printing in bold red, black and blue crayon, the words on the jello (sic) paper he was holding. It said, in bold…

    Unless you are a Yankee's Fan, what you likely know about A-Rod, Alex Rodriguez, is that he hits a lot of home runs, but that his records are under scrutiny since he was using performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) while he was hitting them. As a result, he had to sit out an entire baseball season and forfeit millions of dollars in salary and millions more in record bonuses including a $6 million bonus for tying Willie Mays career 660 home run mark.…

    When Brooklyn Dodgers first baseman Jackie Robinson stepped onto Ebbets Field in the first inning of a game against the Boston Braves on April 15th, 1947, he became the first Black player in the Major Leagues since 1884, when catcher Moses Walker played in 42 games for the Toledo Blue Stockings (Light 119). For the next 60 years, an unwritten rule separated the two races, but Robinson changed all of that. While he had a relatively uneventful day on the field, going 0-3,the 28 year old Jackie scored the deciding run in a 5-3 victory (Dunham). More importantly, however, Robinson’s appearance represented an impending permanent change in the nation’s pastime that would forever shape the forces of modern baseball. By becoming the first Black to play modernized baseball, Robinson opened the door for many other achievements and firsts by African Americans. This impact can still be seen today, as Robinson’s arrival set the precedence for the shift from baseball being an all white sport to a sport of all ethnic backgrounds by opening up racial barriers. It can also be said that the way that Jackie’s events unfolded helped to spearhead the Civil Rights movement by bringing to light the important issues that faced the Blacks, especially with his calm reaction to the daily death threats that he and his family received. Robinson starting the full integration of baseball also led to an era of dominance by the National League, winning a majority of the All Star games from 1950 to 1982. These dominant National League teams were led mostly by African American players, something that the American League was not as quick to pick up on. The overall impact of Jackie Robinson was widespread, as his effect on baseball is still seen today, with his number 42 jersey being retired by all of baseball in 1997 as a lasting tribute to the profound effect he had on modern baseball (Light 781).…

    McGwire grew up in Pomona, California where he became known for aggressive bat and his powerful hitting. McGwire was drafted by the Oakland A’s in 1984 and made it to the bigs in 1987 then in 1997 he was traded to the Cardinals. More specifically McGwire was traded to the Cardinals and became a threat to anyone that the Cardinals were up against. When McGwire joined the team in 1997 he drove the fanbase high and made them go crazy when he came to the plate. McGwire summed up his problems three months after being signed as the cardinals hitting coach saying: “I remember trying steroids very briefly in the 1989/1999 off season and then after I was injured in 1993.”(4) Also going on to say that he tried steroids again in the 1998 season. (4) As a new coach, McGwire could not coach with the hatred of many fans on his back for his steroid use. To keep the team going, he spoke out to the public about his alleged steroid use. Therefore, any actions to stop the hate of Mark McGwire were noble in that his main goal was nothing more than to help the Cardinals organization. Also, the people who gave up on McGwire remained another important goal to the Cardinals who wanted their fanbase to support them from all views and decisions. (7) Because the fanbase of the Cardinals split into two groups, the fanbase was a good example of a good and bad support system. However, there was not much of a debate at this point, McGwire would be the hitting coach and that was going to be how it went. After McGwire was the hitting coach for 1 year the team's batting average was .263. Because of Mark McGwire, the Cardinals became a good hitting team, and the team became a big force to be reckoned with. Furthermore, the cardinals were able to say that they they were now even better in some areas than other teams. McGwire was a good piece to add to the cardinals as the…

    In what I would call baseball's modern era many of the key roles are now played by a single person rather than a different person on any given day. Most pitchers are now thankful to last solid six innings, players hardly make it an average of five years, and those past their prime are downgraded to the designated hitter. No wonder the Babe Ruth era continues to fascinate.…

    Rock Art Documentation

    Rock art documentation by using multispectral is becoming popular in the cultural heritage domain. Multispectral is a camera with multi-lenses and sensors, which can take pictures of an object by multi-wavelength at the same scene. Usually, the advantage of using multispectral is it can detect an invisible object because it equipped with Near Infra-red (NIR) band, which is useful in reflecting the invisible spectrum. However, in the application of rock art documentation, multispectral is only focused on radiometric analysis, although multispectral images principally can be used for generation of orthophoto and digital surface model. Problems of processing multispectral photos by using close-range photogrammetry (CRP) involves band-to-band registration for alignment, because of the images have a different view angle, and calibration of the images becomes complicated.…
