Interview With Joe Zimet
Just recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Joe Zimet, my elbow partner. Through this, I was able to learn more about him. I now have the privilege of sharing this information with you so that we can all know him better. Joe was born in England where he lived for the first year of his life. He has a “pretty tight relationship” with his family, especially his brother Tom. Those who know both of them often say that they look almost exactly the same. He enjoys school and has been in both the EAP program and the AAP program. In case you don’t know, those are advanced academic programs offered by the Northshore School District. Despite this focus on school, he tells me, "baseball is my passion." He plays on a local team and enjoys watching

    John Peter Zenger (1687-1746) emigrated from Palatinate, Germany in 1710 with his parents and two siblings. They came to America along with 3,000 other refuges to establish naval stores in New York, but unfortunately it was not easy for the Zenger’s to arrive safely since many of the other passengers died during the disastrous voyage. Merely a year after arriving Zenger was apprenticed for eight years to William Bradford, a pioneer of American printing. He later opened his own printing company in 1726 and was said to be neither thriving nor influential. A few years later in 1732 a new governor arrived for the state of New York. William Cosby, the new governor, intents were to use the press as a means of self-enrichment but this caused conflict with other New Yorkers like himself. In an attempt to save himself from any further problems he removed the chief justice, Lewis Morris, but in return Morris assembled a group of powerful men whose economic goals were at a halt by the governor. This new group, the Morris group gained popularity in New York. Following intense warfare between the two parties and the monopoly over the only newspaper,” The Gazette”, controlled by the governor, the Morris group were forced to look elsewhere for another newspaper. They selected Zenger as the new printer of the “New-York Weekly Journal” and on November, 5, 1733 their firs article was published. Since Zenger’s English was poor, James Alexander, one of the members of the Morris group, took command and wrote many of the articles. In these articles he sharply criticized the government and wrote poems making fun of the governor. Zenger’s newspaper was different in that it was the first to express freedom of speech. The new governor was not pleased with what was being printed and held Zenger responsible for what appeared in the “Journal”, and attempted to suppress the paper. On November 17, 1734 Zenger was arrested for printing seditious and libelous material. To his rescue the other…

    The sport of baseball has been a huge part of my life since an early childhood. I was born in 1977 and grew up through the 80’s when a country boy had to ride the bus 1 hour to get home and then if you were lucky you were able to catch the last 10 minutes of Duck Tales and then a half hour episode of Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers. When that 5 o’clock hour would reach it was time to put on the glove and go out to the yard and play baseball. My brother Justin and I would spend hours playing catch, having home run derby’s with the power line as a make shift fence. Our dad would break out the baseball bat and hit fly balls to us and when that would become to routine we would start to make late jumps on the ball just to make sure that we had an opportunity for a diving catch. Baseball was a big part of my life and it still is now even into my mid 30’s. I now play the sport that It cherish so much for my family, granted it is no longer bus rides from town to town and the sun flower seeds with the high intensity speed, but trimmed down to a few nights a week with close friends and family playing slow pitch softball where more beer is drank then high fives are given. This brief introduction was and still is a big part of my life and the reason that I chose to give my process speech on the subject “How to fill out a baseball scorebook”.…

    For baseball players it is essential to stay healthy. One of the many reasons is that if a player is hurt for too long a period, he may lose his starting position. Though this is always in the forefront of a players mind, the first thing he should think about is healing his body so that he might continue his career.

    In 1905, the NCAA was founded as a governing committee to ensure that “amateurism” was the pravailing status of collegiate sports. For over century, college sport has been defined as “someone who competes in sports for personal satisfaction and not for monetary gain” (Peterson's staff). For kids growing up, the chance to participate in college sport should be a dream, not a cheap monetary benefit. Moreover, high school and college athletes have always played for the passion, pride, and love of the game. College sport should not turned into an occupation, but be kept an honorable experience.…
