Baseball is America's sport. It brings out the boys of summer. While it has had its ups and downs, it has never left us. It is part of the American family, like a brother that sometimes is the hero, sometimes the villain, often embraced, sometimes annoying but never ever turned away. Our children take baseball instruction and baseball hitting drills. We are devoted. Throughout baseballs short history there have been many memorable moments. Here is a quick accounting of a few of those moments brought to you by the heavy hitters.
It was February 2 in 1876, when eight teams became founding members of the National Baseball league. The first National League game was officially played on April 1st, 1876. Boston played Philadelphia and won. On February 2, 1900 the American league was born. It was made up of six teams including: Boston, Baltimore, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Chicago. In April of 1923 Babe Ruth hits his first home run. It was the first home run in Yankee Stadium. Eight years later on August 21st of 1931 Babe Ruth hits his 600th home run.
On May 15th, 1941 the amazing hitting streak of Joe DiMaggio begins. He would hit in 56 consecutive games. In September of that same year Ted Williams would finish the season with a batting average of .406, making him the only batter to ever hit over .400 for a season. In 1961 Roger Maris sends 61 balls over the fence giving him the record for most home runs in a season. Mark McGwire hits 62 in 1998. Sammy Sosa hits his 61st and 62nd home run five days later on September 13, 1998. Barry Bonds will break the record with 73 home runs in 2001.
In 1974, on April 8th, Hank Aaron smacks the ball out of the park and hits his 715th home run, bettering Babe Ruth and moving into the front position on the list of career home runs. He will have 755 before he lays down his bat in 1976. A year latter, Sadaharu Oh sends a ball out of the park in Japan. It is his 756th home run. On October 8th, 1977 Reggie Jackson, Mr. October, hits three home runs. He hits them on three consecutive pitches and leads the Yankees to their 21st world series championship.
On September 11th 1985, Mr. Hustle, Pete Rose hits his 4,192 hit beating out Ty Cobb. Four year later he would be banned from baseball for his gambling offenses. He finished his career with 4,256 hits. These are all players that knew how to swing a bat. There are many other famous players that were great at the plate and in the field. Shoeless Joe Jackson, Lou Gehris, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Duke Snider, Roberto Clemente and many more brought excitement to the game of Baseball. While the 50's and 60'a may have been the golden years of baseball, it is still dear to America's heart. Basketball, football and NASCAR may have grabbed some of the spotlight, but nothing will ever touch these great moments in baseball history.
Connor R. Sullivan ordered copies of DVDs focusing on baseball hitting drills to help some of the junior the kids on his baseball team. He believes that the baseball instruction will really help improve their game.
who was the Yankees greatest center fielder?
Joe DiMaggio
Mickey Mantle
Bernie Williams
Mickey Mantle. He could real shag 'em. And there was no better switch hitter in history. Joe Dimaggio was Ted William's pick for best all round ballplayer, but the Mick simply passed him up. Bernie Williams is one of the most outstanding people who ever played the game, but not the best player.
