This promotional tool will last the entire month of November, in honor of the military appreciation month. This will target all age groups, from currently serving to retirees. By offering multiple tickets to a…

    Book Report on "Baseball: a History of America's Game"

    Rader states that baseball was founded by Abner Doubleday in 1839 at Cooperstown, New York. In the next couple decades, the game developed the simple concept of bases. After having bases introduced into the game, the kids in bigger cities started club based teams which played each other. These teams started to develop a personal passion and respect for baseball which led them to adopt written rules. He conveys the idea of fellowship within the team and how the players celebrated all aspects of the game. He gives an example of a club team called the New York Knickerbockers and how they celebrated with their opponents and teammates whether they won or lost the game by having a social gathering after the game. At these functions the teams would dance and drink and share stories of other games they played. Rader illustrates how the club organization such as the Knickerbockers showed respect to the game by starting post game ceremonies. He gives an example of how the winning team would receive the game ball with the score stenciled on it to display in their trophy case. The growing crowd of spectators and the overall love of the game helped launch the platform for the formation of the National League in 1876.…

    Native American Mascots Research Paper

    Teams haven’t had to change their names or logos, so this means that people generally aren’t finding it offensive. According to a recent poll done by The Washington Post, it was determined that 9 in 10 Native Americans are not offended by the Redskins name. The question asked, “The professional football team in Washington calls itself the Washington Redskins. As a Native American, do you find that name offensive, or doesn’t it bother you?” According to their data, they showed that 90% said it did not bother them, a mere 9% said that it was offensive, and 1% had no opinion. I believe that these surveys, help take steps in the right direction. This data shows that my belief can be reached because the majority of people who participated in the survey said is wasn’t offensive. In my opinion, these names should be seen as mascots and people should respect the origins of how these successful teams got the Native American…

    Baseball: Then and Now This is an essay that contrasts the game of baseball today to the game at its origin in the 1800s.

    "The game of baseball has now become beyond question the leading feature of the outdoor sports of the United States...It is a game which is peculiarly suited to the American temperament and disposition:... in short, the pastime suits the people, and the people suit the pastime"(Charles Peverelly, 1866). Although baseball is still America's favorite pastime, the way it is played has changed greatly since it's founding in the 1800's. Baseball was originally created so there would be something the boys could do to keep busy during the summer months.
