The Horde Quarterly Report: As the FFB year starts, the Horde Institute understands that there is a demand for reliable investment information. Using hearsay, conjecture, rumors, and wild speculation, the H.I. seeks to illuminate the darkness and bring clarity to the FFB market. Assuredly no crystal ball exists, but with research and patients patterns can be revealed. This year, the H.I. will group the managers and their teams into three distinct categories. Managers that are likely not to perform and, consequently, lose your money will be given a snowball rating. Snowball…as in, not a snowball’s chance in (you know the rest). The next rating is chocolate éclair. These managers make up that creamy middle. The highest rating will be given …show more content…

Wahnon (Mr.), over the stringent objections of J. Wahnon (Mrs.), has taken it upon himself to become the league’s one man ambassador and welcoming committee. J Wahnon (Mr.) has indeed shown nothing but warmth & genuine heartfelt good-will, in rolling out the red carpet for new league owners A. Lee & A. Zoltan. He even went out of his way to offer the new ownership group several highly regarded naming suggestions during their exhaustive team-name search process. They are said to have given a number of these selections serious consideration before settling on “A-team”, aka “Cupcakes”, aka “Kitten Mittens”, aka “Powder & Lace”, aka “Flower Petals”, aka “Pillow Fights” (A. Lee & A. Zoltan turned down our requests to be interviewed for this article). Meanwhile, J. Wahnon (Mr.) is reportedly feeling good about his roster & clearly expecting another season spent at or near the top of our league. It is dubious at best though, to expect the Horde to be anything more than a middle of the pack ham-&-egger, after it’s highly questionable decision to draft Filthy-delphia QB Nick Foles to lead the team. Any franchise relying on one of the Lady-Eagles (I’m looking at you J. Lake), is sure to suffer the consequences of such a foolish choice. Oh well at least the Horde has Sam Bradford to fall back

The predicament of unjust compensation first appeared when Jackie Robinson was traded to the Dodgers when they paid less than five percent of his labor value. Effa Manley called Branch Rickey, the manager of the Dodgers, a “crook” because he failed to compensate the Kansas City Monarchs, Robinson’s old team. After this ungodly rip-off from Rickey, Manley worked tirelessly to gain fair compensation for those traded from the NLB to the MLB, now that the integration barrier was broken. The opportunity came when Larry Dobby’s, the first African American to play in the American League sect of the MLB, trade was compensated to the Newark Eagles. This move set a precedent for the compensation of teams for Black baseball players moving from the NLB to the MLB and instated a sense of respect from the MLB to the NLB for getting something that big done.

Every three years, this source published articles that demonstrated the public’s views on sports and discussed the integration of baseball. This helps today’s historians to have a more transparent understanding about the attitudes towards different races in American society at those times. The primary source also shows two different small parts of articles published in 1942 and 1945. The first article published in 1942 mentions “there was no law against Negroes playing with white teams…but neither has invited the other”. Meaning in baseball, there was nothing against negroes playing with white teams but none has talked and invited each other.

Especially one in professional sports. So, in 1945, Jackie Robinson signed to play for the Kansas City Monarchs, a team in the Negro National League (Obias 1). After a year with the Monarchs, Branch Rickey, the president of the Brooklyn Dodgers major league baseball team, sent a recruiter to Kansas City, and chose Robinson to help him in the task of integrating Major League Baseball (“JR Biography” 3). He sent Robinson to play for Brooklyn’s minor league affiliate team, the Montreal Royals. In 1947, before signing him, Branch Rickey met with Robinson to have an important talk.

For starters we need to jump back in time to…. (start first main point in body paragraph 1). In 1938, a man named Carl Stotz hit upon the idea for an organized baseball league for the boys in his hometown of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. His idea was to provide a wholesome program of baseball for the boys of Williamsport, as a way to teach them the ideals of sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork. Since then, sponsorship of Little League both at the local league level and at the Headquarters level have helped to keep costs to parents to a minimum.

After establishing themselves as a competitive team in their first year of operation, big things were expected of the Angels in 1962. Shortstop, Jim Fregosi, outfielder, Lee Thomas and pitchers, Dean Chance and Bo Belinsky, four of the hottest young prospects in all of baseball were just a few of the reasons behind the optimism. Starters, Ken McBride and Ted Bowsfield, who won 11 and 12 games respectively in '61, would be returning to Bill Rigney 's rotation and were being counted on to play key roles. And like McBride, I also finished the season with 11 wins, however, my spot on the pitching staff was not nailed down. I pitched very well in spring training, but even as the 1962 season started, my place on the club still wasn 't defined.
