9/26 in Yankee History
The red letter day -
1961: In New York's 159th game' Roger Maris rips a Jack Fisher fastball into the right field seats at Yankee Stadium for his 60th HR. New York beat Baltimore 3-2. There are fewer than 8'000 fans on hand to witness the historic event.
1952: The Yanks clinch their 4th straight pennant, and 19th overall, with an 11-inning 5-2 win at Philadelphia behind Ed Lopat and Johnny Sain. Billy Martin's two out' two run single in the 11th clinches it. The loser is starter Harry Byrd' who gives up early solo homers to Mickey Mantle and Irv Noren. Gus Zernial's 2-run homer is all the A's offense.
On other 26ths of September…
2009: Newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice, Bronx native and Yankee fan Sonia Sotomayor throws out the first pitch at the Stadium. In the game that followed, CC Sabathia reduces the Bombers' magic number to clinch the AL East title to one with a 3-0 win over Daisuke Matsuzaka and the Red Sox. Robbie Cano breaks a scoreless duel with a sixth-inning home run, and Johnny Damon singles in two in the 8th, but not until after pinch runner Brett Gardner escapes a rundown between home and third by diving back into third under an errant throw.
2004: In a game marred by a bench-clearing brawl, the Red Sox down the Yankees at Fenway, 11-4. Curt Schilling pitches 7 innings of one-hit ball' while the Red Sox jump on Kevin Brown in the 1st and Estaban Loaiza in the 2nd inning to post a 7-0 lead. Pedro Astacio, Brad Halsey and Joe Torre all get tossed in the 8th. Bill Mueller homers for Boston while Andy Phillips' in his first Major League at bat' homers on the first pitch he sees. He is the 20th rookie to pinch hit a homer on his first AB.
2003: Yankee rookie pitcher Jorge De Paula (below) makes his ML debut with 6 1/3 hitless innings in the 2nd game of a doubleheader against the Orioles. He is removed after allowing a single to Larry Bigbie, but does not get a decision as the Orioles win' 3-2 in 10 innings. New York take the opener' 11-2.
1998: The Yankees defeat the Devil Rays' 3-1' for David Cone's 20th win of the year. Cone sets a record for the most years (10) between 20-win seasons' having won 20 for the Mets in 1988. Jim Kaat held the previous record at 9. Shane Spencer homers' his 6th in 9 days and his 7th in the month' a Yankee rookie record..
1997: Four Yankee pitchers combine to 1-hit the Tigers' winning by a score of 8-2. Andy Pettitte starts and allows a 2-run single to Travis Fryman, in the 3rd inning' giving Detroit a 2-1 lead. Pettitte leaves after 4 frames and is succeeded by Brian Boehringer (3 innings)' Mariano Rivera (1 inning)' and Jeff Nelson (1 inning). Rivera receives credit for the win when NY explode for 6 runs in the 9th inning.
1978: The Yanks retain their one-game cushion with a 4-1 victory for Ed Figueroa over the Blue Jays, as the Red Sox beat the Tigers 6-0 behind Dennis Eckersley.
Off the field, New York District Court Judge Constance Baker Motley rules that women sportswriters cannot be banned from locker rooms in the state.
1964: Behind rookie Mel Stottlemyre's 2-hitter' the Yankees roll over the Senators 7-0 for their 11th win in a row. Stottlemyre leads the offense with a ML-record-tying 5 hits' the last pitcher to collect that many and just the 8th pitcher in the 20th century to do so (Jim Callahan of the White Sox did it twice). With a single in his last at bat in his last game' he has hit safely in 6 consecutive ABs.
1956: In his first ML start' Charlie Beamon of the Orioles throws a 1-0' 4-hit shutout against the Yanks to thwart Whitey Ford's bid for his 20th win. Ford won't win 20 until 1961.
1954: Already eliminated, the Yankees try to set a record for most wins by a second-place team. In Casey Stengel's 'power line-up'' Yogi Berra plays his only game at third base in his career; Mickey Mantle is back at shortstop,; and Moose Skowron is at second, with Eddie Robinson first. But Art Ditmar of the Athletics defeats the Yanks 8-6 in the last game the franchise will play as the Philadelphia A's before moving to Kansas City.
1949: Before 67'434 at the Stadium' the Red Sox survive a rhubarb-filled 7-6 win when Johnny Pesky scores on a disputed squeeze play. The Sox' down 6-3 in the 5th when Joe Page comes in' score 4 in the 8th to win. The winning tally comes across when Bobby Doerr drops a surprise squeeze bunt in front of Tommy Henrich' who is playing third, and Pesky slides under Ralph Houk's tag at home. Umpire Bill Grieve disagrees with every fan in the park by calling Pesky safe' and three Yanks- Cliff Mapes, Casey Stengel and Houk – are fined for a post-game confrontation with the arbiter. Leading by one game' the Sox move on to Washington for a 3-game series before the last 2 games of the year with the Yankees.
1948: Tommy Henrich reaches Mel Parnell for a two-run homer in the 1st inning and Joe DiMaggio adds another pair in the 4th inning on a single. Tommy Byrne stops the Red Sox to give New York a 6-2 win. But Gus Niarhos, New York's starting catcher since early August when Yogi Berra was injured' breaks a finger and is out for the year.
1940: The Yankees stay in the hunt for the pennant by sweeping a pair from the A's' 5-4 and 2-0. New York' winners of 8 straight' are now 2 1/2 games behind Detroit and a 1/2 game behind Cleveland. Red Ruffing wins the opener with home run support from Joe Gordon and Bill Dickey.. For Gordon' it is his 30th round-tripper of the year. Ernie Bonham allows 4 hits in the nitecap.
1929: At Washington' the Yankees blast 3 Senator pitchers for a 10-3 win. Lou Gehrig' Babe Ruth and Bill Dickey each triple for the victors.
1926: The Browns beat the Yankees twice' 6-1 and 6-2' in a total time of 2 hours' 7 minutes' an MLB record for a twinbill. The 2nd game is the fastest in AL history: at 55 minutes. The Yanks total 19 hits' while the Browns collect 26 in the two games. Babe Ruth has one at bat' then sits' and misses reliever George Sisler' who tosses 2 scoreless innings to finish for the Browns in game 2 and' when the Browns score 4 in the 8th' picks up the victory. Ruth has 47 homers – twice as many as the runner-up – and also leads the AL with 139 runs' 155 RBI' and 144 bases on balls. Ruth is batting .372' second to Detroit's Heinie Manush' who will go 6-for-9 on the last day to end at .378. Browns coach Jimmie Austin' 46 years old' participates in the nitecap and contributes to the win by knocking in a run with a double and then stealing home. He is not the oldest to steal a base (Arlie Latham was 50 when he swiped a bag for the New York Giants in 1909), but he is the oldest ever to steal home. The Yankees use Fred 'Bonehead' Merkle in his final game. Merkle replaces Lou Gehrig at first in the 6th.
1925: Late '50s Yankee reliever Bobby Shantz is born. Happy 87th, Bobby!
1921: Babe Ruth hits homers nos. 57 and 58 plus a double, and collects a walk to beat the Indians 8-7' and the Yankees take a 2 game lead. George Burns (below) adds a triple and 3 singles for New York in the come-from-behind win. The Indians load the bases in the 9th inning, but Steve Neill strikes out on a Carl Mays fastball in the dirt to end it.
1919: Carl Mays gives up 2 unearned runs in the Yankees' 8-2 victory over the A's. He strikes out 7.
1904: In Philadelphia' Connie Mack correctly predicts the AL finish, saying' "It certainly looks like the men from Plymouth Rock will take the bunting'" because of all the postponed games the crippled Highlanders have to make up. The New Yorkers then lose a pair to Cleveland' 4-3 and 6-2. Jack Chesbro loses the opener' his first defeat in 10 games' when George Stovall hits a bases loaded triple in the 8th. Jack Powell struggles to the loss in game 2 after Terry Turner hits a liner off his knee that caroms into the outfield for a double. Meanwhile' Boston sweep Detroit' 2-0 and 5-3' and now lead the AL race by 2 games. Bill Dinneen applies the whitewash in the opener and Cy Young ,coming in relief of George Winter for the last inning, takes game 2.

A Quick Note On The Direction of Old-School Gaming
I've been saying there should be an old-school gaming booth at Gen Con Indy for months now--I hope it is something that TARGA is looking at doing. A unified front, with everything from Labyrinth Lord to OSRIC to Swords & Wizardry to Adventure Games Publishing to Fight On! and their supplements being demoed, sold (or given out, as the case may be), publicized, demoed some more, and introduced to all the gamers at Gen Con who never gave up on legacy D&D (or want to find their way back).
A unified front doesn't mean agreeing on everything. It just means co-existing long enough to get your point across, and compromising in order to work for the common good. I hope that's a lesson taken to heart.
I can only hope there's a robust game lineup for the convention season (I'm thinking of running some Microlite '74 or Encounter Critical along with my other Gen Con games this year). The old school style and gameplay has reach, I know this. It's a matter of showing up and reaching out. If folks decide they want to do an Old-School booth for Gen Con, I'll be the first one to volunteer, I can guarantee you that.

In the end Zachary, the refrain of "can't we all get along" has serious limits. And asking (as James Raqqi seems to be asking given the example he links to in his post), people to sit in a booth alongside people producing material they object to on grounds of ethics or religion is one of those serious limits.
It's basically asking those people to:
a) not speak up or make waves against something they feel should be spoken up and shunned.
b) to hang around and improve the overall quality of the place that such works infest so as to increase their (i.e. those works) visibility and thus sales.
I'm sorry, but things don't work that way. I for example am more content to never publish, than to publish under such conditions.
Not that I'm "old school" as you would define it of course. I left D&D years ago and will never look back except to see the train wreck when I'm bored :)

@ Brian: I have no doubt you're right, there might be limits to that. But I have to think there's enough common ground among at least some of the more level-headed to sit in one place to promote some old-school gaming. Maybe the rifts do go deeper than that.
- January 20, 2009 at 11:32 AM
- gleichman said...
The rifts start with the question of "who are the level headed?".
For example, to my eyes James Raqqi is anything but. And we know from his post his likely opinon of me.
The only way to control this is to have someone effectively in charge, and they get to make the calls.
The Forge of course does this, and only errors in that it claims to be for all indie games instead of just ones that match their interest.
I don't think you could in practical terms have a single "old school" source as a result. People's visions of it differ too much. But I do think you could have two or three sites that approach "old school" in different ways.
- January 20, 2009 at 11:51 AM
- Zachary The First said...
Yeah, I'd hate to have a central point of control or doctrine on what is or isn't Old-School. The Forge did that, and it turned out to be an antagonistic, idelogically hamstrung, and condescending movement. TARGA comes right out in their introduction and says they don't want that, which is a very good thing. That would be a really quick way to ensure as many people as possible were put off the whole thing.
- January 20, 2009 at 12:19 PM
- gleichman said...
I actually think the Forge is fine about what it does, except that they lie about what it is that they do. They say 'indie' games when they should be saying Narrative games or some such. That and the fact that orignally the Forge *was* indie, until Ron turned it into something very focused indeed.
This is why I hate the Forge and care nothing about Story-Games although their content and viewpoint are all but identical.
TARGA on the other hand is going to end up just like therpgsite. Sure they say they'll take anyone, but the nature of the company there will exclude people by nature. I would never be part of a site that produced products like, say a D&D version of Little Fears or Poison'd. And I think it likely that applies to a number of others (although I will have to admit, most of those have likely given up on online rpg sites by now).

It's a great idea. The old school resurgence has been nothing but positive for the hobby overall and as excellent product and a strong philosophy continue to come out of it, it will be good to have a few more centralized locations where people, interested but new to it, can come and check it out. I think there is enough collective creative energy out there that this will happen more or less, despite some minor conflicts and controversies along the way.

I'll jump on along with the others who say "it ain't gonna happen".
No one has laid down, as far as I can tell, a definition of "Old School Gaming" beyond a really nebulous "I know it when I see it". There's that "Old School Primer" floating around, but that's just one person's view of what Old School is, and one you start letting one person's opinion drive things, chaos will reign.
This is why RPGs have gone the directions they went back in the day - people like to tinker, and debate, and ideas change and mutate with time and experiences. Some people consider Call of Cthluhu and Traveller to be "Old School Games" while at the same time they contain a lot of ideas, the absence of which is the very reason people champion basic D&D as "old school" - things like "plotted adventures" and skill systems and core mechanics.
In the end, to me the essence of "Old School Gaming" is sitting at home doing what you want to do the way you want to do it with people who agree with your vision. It's a basement industry that keeps trying to get out of the basement and buy some fancy office space, only to be accused of "selling out" when the lease is signed.
That's the fundamental problem I see - this desperate scramble to "expand" and "grow", while at the same time fighting against "selling out" and "going mainstream". And along with this, you've got a lot of negativity flowing around - people who have really thrown up an "us or them" wall (like James Raggi declaring that people who don't game like he games "aren't even in the same hobby" that he is).
How can anything constructive get accomplished when you've got baggage like that following you around?
- January 20, 2009 at 1:32 PM
- gleichman said...
Badelaire, interesting that you should mention the Old School Primer, I was just looking at it (posted about in the comments for another post).
And I agree, that is an odd bird to my mind that if taken to heart would exclude 1st edition AD and even some of the expansions for original D&D. At times it sounds far more like the (re)charge the 90s Lite System people.
And this may be the answer to Zachary's question of why only core rules and nothing else that he asked in another blog post. Anything more would overturn that primer.

Why is there such a focus on GenCon?
I think that if you consider yourself "old school" and you're at a Con, then represent "old school" with a demo, or game, or attend old-school style games and enjoy. GenCon might be a nice thing to have some "representation", but this idea that we need a "killer app" or now, a "killer organization" seems ... I don't know - maybe that there's a fear that this will "go away" if we don't "do something".
I think representing products that people like is a good thing. I think giving independents some forums and collective business exposure makes a lot of sense and I have to agree that the market will determine what is accepted and what is not. From a business perspective, if you can be collective, you can do some good things.
From a hobby perspective, I think the best, and longest lasting way, to perpetuate what I see as "old school" is to play it, GM it and enjoy it. It's worked for 30odd years with Blackmoor and Greyhawk. I think it'll work another 30 years.
- January 20, 2009 at 2:40 PM
- Zachary The First said...
@ Chgowitz: Because Gen Con is the biggest convention there is. It's still the place a lot of gamer who don't troll the internet talking RPGs 24/7 find out about games and play them for the first time. We're both talking about "GMing and enjoying", I'm just talking about it in the scope of Gen Con.
It could be Origins, it could be PentaCon. The point is that games are meant to be played, and I think Gen Con would provide the largest walk-by audience to get new gamers.
@ gleichman: I was actually just having a conversation with a friend the other day about RPG sites, and how the conversation on many of them had nosedived, we thought. Right now, I get more out of the blogs I read and rereading old gaming books and notes as much as anything. Other experiences may vary, natch.
Thanks to everyone for the comments!

I'll have to agree with you Zachary, the blogs are better these days, far less sniping.
btw, you've inspired me some to start my own blog.

I saw that! I have you on my blogroll--best of luck with it--I'll be reading!
- January 21, 2009 at 6:29 AM
- Chgowiz said...
@Zachary - That's very true about the size and appeal of Gencon.
I guess I'd like to see that kind of zeal applied to all cons, including giving GenCon its due. I'd hate to see a "make or break" attitude for one con, when we have a lot of other opportunities. Maybe TARGA and the like can have "con-packs" where volunteers can go set up and show the love.
Funny, my captcha was "consly" - maybe the Great RNG is telling me something... :D

Match report
For match photos, scroll to PHOTOSTREAM above left; for match stats go to the stats tab. Manager reaction below; press conferences above.
Fabian Delph's late winner meant Aston Villa dealt a huge blow to nine-man Chelsea's Barclays Premier League title hopes with a shock 1-0 triumph.
The midfielder showed a piece of ingenuity in the 82nd minute to turn home substitute Marc Albrighton's centre and hand Paul Lambert's side three points at Villa Park.
Jose Mourinho had stated that Manchester City were favourites to lift the Barclays Premier League trophy during the week, and his side failed to break down a resolute Villa defence.
Chelsea's efforts were not helped by two red cards. Willian was shown sent off for a second bookable offence in the 68th minute before Ramires was also dismissed in stoppage time for a reckless challenge on Karim El Ahmadi. Chelsea still retain a six-point lead over second-placed City, although Manuel Pellegrini's men have three matches in hand to cut the gap, while Villa's win lifts them to 10th.
The visiting side had Villa largely pinned back in their own half in the opening 10 minutes, but the visitors were almost exposed by a Villa counter-attack that ended with Christian Benteke heading Delph's cross wide. Mourinho's men were comfortable in possession, however, with Oscar looking lively. The Brazilian curled a shot just wide after 15 minutes as he ventured forward.
After a promising opening, the game went into a bit of a lull, but it was Chelsea who continued to look the more likely to score and Fernando Torres fired wide from a tight angle after a neat through-ball from Eden Hazard after 35 minutes. Villa's biggest threat was on the counter, and the lively Benteke saw his acrobatic half-volley from the right of the box fly wide of the far post.
The home side had a huge let-off five minutes before the break. Willian's corner was flicked to the back post by John Terry, where Nemanja Matic squeezed the ball home, only for referee Chris Foy to rule the goal out for a handball by the Serb.
Chelsea continued to dictate the tempo after the break, and Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan had to make a smart reaction stop when El Ahmadi directed Hazard's cross towards goal when sliding to make a block. The second half followed a similar pattern to the first, with Chelsea continuing to probe but failing to find a way through a stern Villa rearguard.
Villa retained a foothold in the game, and Benteke could have done better when he received a pass from Andreas Weimann on the edge of the area and placed a shot narrowly wide of Petr Cech's goal.
With just over 20 minutes remaining Chelsea were reduced to 10 men. Willian, who had been booked in the first half, challenged Delph unfairly and was shown a second yellow card. The hosts made the most of their numerical advantage when Albrighton's cut-back from the byline went behind Delph, but the midfielder flicked home into the far corner.
Delph went close to a second when his shot was deflected onto the crossbar by Terry, before Chelsea's match ended worse when Ramires was sent off for a lunging tackle on El Ahmadi, while Mourinho was sent to the stands for his protests.
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert: "If people are going to comment on decisions, they will do, but the football fan and people that are honest will say we deserved to win that game. I'm here to talk about the game because that deflects [from the result]. I'm here to talk about football and the good things against a side that cost millions and to do that is a huge, huge effort."
"The goal was world-class, the energy was terrific. That's probably the best we've had in terms of a team performance more than anything else. The whole team performed outstanding which they had to be as they're a top, top team – they're vying to win the league, they're vying for the Champions League.
"We had to get three points, or try and get three points. I knew it was always going to be tough. We had to do a lot of work and the lads energy levels have totally gone."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "A good solid performance against a good team. Defensively we were really strong. We had no problems to deal with the danger that Aston Villa has. We are not in a title, we are in a match race. We play every match, we try to win, we give everything to win. Sometime you do, sometimes you don't."

When branches were the sole focus of retail delivery strategies, the chief considerations for structuring the branch organization were location, location, location. In todays multichannel world, the keys to growth and success have become unify, unify, unify. The branch is still very much a primary and relevant point of customer interaction, but to effectively manage the customer experience, deepen relationships and capture new revenue, the other delivery channels must be in harmony with branch systems and processes.
Leave Silos to the Farmers
Silos in the world of agriculture are a great thing, but silos in banking are not yet they are still prevalent. While many banks have made strides to automate the branch, there often remain communications gaps between the front line, the front-office and the back-office.
Furthermore, the technology applications that support a banks other delivery channels do not often share data or common functionality with one other, let alone with the institutions branch systems. These fragmented infrastructures are significantly hindering data access and creating inconsistencies in the processes of selling and servicing. They prohibit that coveted 360-degree view of the customer and present hurdles to customer relationship management and customer experience management where customers have the most personal interaction with the bank the branch. And, just think of the missed sales opportunities. Banks are spending billions of dollars on multi-media marketing campaigns to reach out to prospects, while the best prospects (existing customers) enter their branches each day. It is time to capitalize on that face time.
Through unification and breaking down silos, a bank can leverage its existing channels and investments to deliver intelligent and relevant information to customers every time they visit the branch or any other channel of their choice. A bank can achieve consistency and establish a single, uniform process for sales and service. Then, customers will be able to begin a process like opening a new account at one channel (the website, for example) and complete it via another (such as with a customer service representative) without repeating steps or having to provide redundant information.
These concepts may sound familiar, but we are not just talking about automation, channel integration and traditional approaches to CRM. Channel unification is where the rubber finally meets the road in executing highly effective CRM and CEM strategies at the branch and across the enterprise while at the same time reducing operating costs.
Unify Technology, Applications, Processes
The first step in unifying the enterprise is to open up its technology infrastructure. You must enable that handshake or ability to share data between disparate systems. The advent of IP networking, open system standards and relational databases have enabled a much more flexible approach to integration. Whats more, you do not have to throw out existing systems. There are branch sales and service software options on the market that facilitate the exchange of data to and from core processors as well as in and out all of the applications that support delivery channels.
With these capabilities in place, think about how you would like to enable the launch of business processes in one area of the bank and fulfill them in another. Of course, first contact resolution is the primary objective for most institutions. With real-time, automated enterprise workflow and routing, the power of the entire organization can be brought to each customer interaction to resolve problems or help close new business.
A $6 billion institution, headquartered in Texas and serving several states with more than 70 branch locations, provides an excellent example of how enterprise workflow can help tellers to effectively engage as the front-line in sales and service.
When a customer approaches the teller line, a teller identifies that customer to the institutions system and it automatically pulls up a single, integrated desktop view. The tellers desktop contains the customers profile (updated in real time from the institutions Fidelity core system), account alerts and personalized or global sales and marketing messages, along with quick access to other data sources including product information. With all this data at his fingertips, the teller is equipped to present an offer within the flow of service.
If the customer says yes to an offer, the institutions system enables the teller to open a referral in just four mouse clicks. The referral is automatically routed directly to a customer service representative or a back-office area of specialty, such as the mortgage department. The system knows, based on product, location of the branch and the customer profile, exactly where to route that referral. If the customer declines an offer the system with one click will ensure that the campaign or message is not presented again to that customer at the teller line or any other channel.
Unify Customer Data, Interaction History and Real-Time Insights
Another crucial aspect of unification is to tie customer data, interaction history and real-time insights together from all customer interactions in the branch and beyond. That is the only way to truly achieve a 360-degree customer view, which is so important to deepening relationships. The emphasis here is that account data from the core system or campaign details from a managed customer information file alone (i.e., which accounts customers hold and their demographics) is not enough for personalized selling and servicing.
You need access to a customers interaction and issue management histories and have a way to capture feedback from customers during each interaction, especially those that take place face-to-face in the branch. This can all be facilitated by most bankers by real-time integration with legacy applications, a corporate customer information file, MCIF and other data sources.
An Illinois-based institution with $2.5 billion in assets and more than 50 branches has taken customer care to new level using in a single, front-end solution. The banks system gives its front-office and call center staff swift access to existing customer information and interaction histories, drawn in real time from its SilverLake core system as well as multiple other data sources. This comprehensive view of the customer enables bank representatives to not only provide personalized service, but also to solve customer problems and inquiries in dramatically less time. (Using the same technology, the Texas institution mentioned earlier has achieved upwards of 80 percent first contact resolution without having to engage the back office.) The system also tracks and measures how well the Illinois bank responds to its customers, applying ticklers, alerts, escalations and calendars (all part of a pre-defined enterprise workflow) to ensure that each case is not only brought to a prompt and satisfying close, but that the customers experience was exceptional.
Unify Service, Sales and CRM Strategy
The last key step to unification is to adopt a single system of record approach to integrating servicing, marketing campaigns and selling activities. You must unify to achieve consistency in the delivery of information and in the content of your response to customers across the branch and all other channels, including self service. Through unification you can combine product promotions with personalized offers, map organizational resources to opportunities and capture sales within the flow of providing service not as an add-on event.
The Texas-based institution again provides a compelling example of the tangible benefits of unifying sales and service processes. Its branch system has enabled some tellers to capture as many as 90 referrals in a week in a few mouse clicks while performing their core duties and without disrupting or slowing service at the teller line.
At a fundamental level, all of this boils down to having the ability to bring current and historical data as well as relevant sales, service and product information to each customer interaction. Only then can you begin to deliver on the promise of not only CRM, but also CEM.
Create an Exceptional Customer Experience
An effective customer relationship management strategy requires the unification of data, systems and channels. After all, CRM is how you manage the information you have about the customer to optimize marketing, sales and service processes and capture new business. But in this new world of banking, sustained, long-term growth also depends on customer experience management how you design and deliver memorable experiences through your systems and people. CEM is all about what the customer knows and feels about your bank, namely the caliber of service you provide and how well your products meet their financial needs.
By unifying all of these areas, the bank can provide a consistent, exceptional experience for customers at their channels of choice. Consider these important steps to break down silos once and for all and position the bank to exceed customers expectations at each interaction. This will empower the branch staff to maximize face-time with customers and play a vital role in building customer advocacy.

Iwaki America makes external aquarium pumps ranging in flow rates from 420 gallons per hour up to 2000 gallons per hour. Iwaki is unique in that it makes two different models - the MD and the WMD. The Iwaki MD models feature a Japanese motor that is made from cast aluminum, a custom pump designed specifically for aquatic applications and a cooler running pump that runs quieter than the WMD models. They have less parts and are the result of years of research and development. The Iwaki WMD models feature an American motor that are HVAC in design, pumps are made from rolled steel with stamped end plates and tend to be a bit bigger than the MD models. The Iwaki WMD models have the same head pressures and head rates as the Japanese MD models. Each model is a high quality non-metallic centrifugal pump or mag-drive from a leader in the pump industry with the American motor pumps or WMD models are at a lower price point.

Consumers are not a homogenous group, which means that banking is not a one-size-fits-all service. For that reason, consumer segmentation and developing a deeper understanding of the needs of those segments should be on every banks resolution list for 2012. By understanding the expectations of different consumers, financial institutions can better target potential new customers, improve retention and provide better customer service.
Earlier this year, First Data and Market Strategies International conducted a study, The New Consumer and Financial Behavior, that measured consumer attitudes, behaviors and expectations pertaining to their financial institutions. As expected, the study did not reveal one cookie-cutter consumer with one set of desires and interests. Instead, the study uncovered six customer segments, each one based on a set of unique values, behaviors and attitudes.
So, what is the main implication based on the six different customer segments? As community banks evaluate programs for 2012 and throughout the year, they can strengthen their ties with consumers by developing programs that are relevant to customers and prospects. They can also prioritize marketing efforts by using segmentation insight to determine which groups are most valuable to them.
For example, Simplifiers and Conventional Stalwarts often prefer traditional banking methods such as face-to-face interaction, check writing and cash payments. Although some Simplifiers are open to online banking, for the most part, these customers are not likely to dive into new technologies right away.
So the message is clear and simple for community banks: continue to provide traditional banking services and face-to-face interactions to help make these customers stick. Also, look for ways to improve efficiency within these more traditional and often more resource-intensive services, such as offering quarterly statements.
Interestingly, the New Consumer and Financial Behavior study found that 89 percent of Simplifiers are highly satisfied with their financial institution, which is a local bank or credit union for roughly one-third of them. This finding simply underscores the fact that in-person interactions can go a long way and traditional banking methods have not disappeared for everyone. Given the current climate in financial services, satisfaction rates among smaller banks are not anticipated to drop anytime in the near future especially if these financial institutions continue to properly cater to the needs of their specific customer segments.
To retain and attract new Fast Trackers, on the other hand, banks would be wise to promote mobile banking, ATM convenience and high-tech communication channels. And, to help keep these customers from switching to another financial institution, community banks should continually make Fast Trackers aware of their tech-related products and services, as well as those that make their busy lives more convenient.
To be successful in 2012, financial institutions must realize they cannot be everything to everybody. Community banks need to determine which consumer segments are most valuable to them and how they can best attract and retain them. The answer to the question, Who is the new consumer in 2012? is definitely not the same for everyone.
Study Methodology
Market Strategies (www.marketstrategies.com) interviewed a national sample of 2,000 consumers age 18 and older from March 17 to March 24, 2011. Respondents were recruited from the uSamp opt-in online panel of U.S. adults and were interviewed online. The data were weighted by age, gender and household income to match the demographics of the U.S. banked population. Due to its opt-in nature, this online panel (like most others) does not yield a random probability sample of the target population. As such, it is not possible to compute a margin of error or to statistically quantify the accuracy of projections.

Andrew Qappik
Canadian, b. 1964
With Open Mind, 1992
lithograph on paper, 19/45
40.8 x 49.9 cm Image: 35.5 x 46.8 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Given by the Council for Canadian American Relations through the generosity of H.G. Jones
When a printshop was established in Pangnirtung in 1973, eight-year-old Andrew Qappik watched his uncles Solomon and Imoona Karpik at work, and they encouraged him to draw. In 1978 five of his drawings were published as prints in the Pangnirtung annual collection. Since then, Qappik's prints have been included in every Pangnirtung annual collection, and in 1999 his designs were selected for the coat-of-arms and flag of the newly created Canadian territory of Nunavut. Qappik is one of a few young Inuit artists who expand the boundaries of Inuit imagery, reflecting modern-day life and artistic concerns. In this lithograph he applies his realistic style to a shamanic transformation and interprets it in a contemporary manner, stating: "A shaman would have a champion animal which he or she could become...Today the transformation occurs in humans with an open mind."

For all intents and purposes, the Naturhus is a typical home – except for the extra glass layer surrounding it. Inside the greenhouse, the owners can grow Mediterranean-style gardens with plants like figs, kiwis, peaches, and wine grapes that would to typically be able to survive in the Swedish climate.
Warne was ahead of his time in his thinking – remember, this house was built in 1976 – in more ways than one. Aside from being able to grow more plants for a longer period of time throughout the year, the greenhouse insulates the home within, cutting heating electricity by a whopping 50%. It also makes the most use of outdoor space like decks since homeowners can use them as extra rooms even in the wintertime thanks to the protective glass covering.

Do you think the dusty colors will come back?
39 comments:
My first quilt work is in these same colors! A couple of the fabrics look identical to mine. I think they will be back but in different combinations - I don't think the pink and blue will return together!ReplyDelete
Trust me, there are still plenty of things that should not be avocado green - like the toilet and sink in my guest bathroom!!! ;)ReplyDelete
I think you could make the dusty colors of your blocks work, in a brand-new-yet-vintage quilt - if the kids are buying their jeans torn-but-new, who says you can't sell a quilt that's vintage-but-finished-yesterday? :)
YES~ they will come back. Home decor and color changes just like fashion. It always repeats itself...but usually with a bit of a twist to make it just a bit different.ReplyDelete
I have some of those very fabrics! Wow!
So I'd say that you could just finish up those squares into something lovely and then when they DO come back into vogue, you're way ahead of the game!
It isn't a conspiracy! They do usher in new colors to sell things! And since everything old will be new again, I suppose dusty mauve and cornflower blue will come back too, but I don't see it happening very soon. :-) Those colors look exactly like our whole house in the 80s.ReplyDelete
Everything seems to come back around! And part of me hopes so - half my stash would fit right in! :-)ReplyDelete
(don't you love Design Seeds?)
Everything comes back, eventually. Usually with a twist. The fun part is using the old in a new way.ReplyDelete
I seriously hope not! I have left yards and yards of cheap 80's fabric at the local thrift store. That dusty blue and mauve along with all the farm animal decor was big when I was growing up but I don't think I could stomach it a second time around.ReplyDelete
I learned my lesson with the raqua trend...just because it is super cute and everybody is doing it doesn't mean I should. I don't know that your old blocks can be salvaged, but if ANYONE can, you can.
I agree that whoever sets color trends bugs me! I love color for reasons other than popularity. Its a shame we EVER have to feel a color is outdated.ReplyDelete
I love today's new colors and fabric collections!!ReplyDelete
However, I still have many of the fabrics I see in your "old squares" in my stash :) I think their muted colors are pretty, soft, and have a dreamy country cottage look. I think they are coming back as I'm seeing hints of them at some of the online fabric stores. I'm thinking of cutting my old softly muted fabrics into strips and squares, some QAYG blocks and a couple quilts with them.
BTW Like many, I never really cared for avocado green, mustard yellow, or burnt orange.
I have the same problem! I have a collection of blocks from my mom's stash and I can't let go of them, but I don't know what to do with them! Maybe sash them with some of that lovely, pale gray so popular now? If you come up with anything, let me know. I'll do the same!ReplyDelete
Yes - these colors will come back! I think sashing them with white or grey (or navy/dark turquoisey?) freshens them - instead of a beige calico-y print that you might have used at the time. Maybe a solid linen-color though?ReplyDelete
Look at those white centers! You are ahead of the game.
I think anything goes. There have been several designers at my quilt guild meetings this year showing scrap quilts. One designer goes to thrift stores and buys used clothing to cut up for quilts and she has several books published. Use what you like. No one has to follow the crowd. Those are the people who usually make the new trends.ReplyDelete
So funny. The house I grew up in was completely decorated in dusty pinks and blues! I have a stack of my mother's 9-patches in the very, very similar prints and colors as yours. All hand-stitched...and not all straight. I keep thinking I'll sash them and make a top sometime.ReplyDelete
Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts did a post yesterday showing a line of fabric coming out in September (Cabbages and Roses, I think) that uses those three same colors--dusty pink, green and blue. so you may be on to something!ReplyDelete
Well, if they dont we will bring them back !!! I like modern but I also like country , perhaps modern rustic ? and those colors are gorgeous !ReplyDelete
It truly seems verything old eventually becomes "new" again :o)ReplyDelete
I am not a trend setter and barely am awake enough to be a trend watcher but I did notice at Gap that the dusty colors are coming back!! You remember those shorter, pastel plaid, preppy boys shorts? That's right, they're there... I'm not a fan of those but I am a fan of the colors and use of colors you posted! That floral arrangement is beautiful!ReplyDelete
You know everything that goes around, comes around, so I imagine dusty colors will make a comeback. i had some of the dusty mauve in your blocks. i saw Barbara Walters on the view the other day and her suit had shoulderpads. EEEk!ReplyDelete
Those colors are lovely and they will come back. Even if they don't I love them anyway.ReplyDelete
I totally love how things come around again! The other day I was out with my husband (who's only known me since 2004) and I asked if he wanted to see what I looked like in the '80s. I pointed out a young gal walking by in an outfit EXACTLY like one I had then. Her hair was even styled the same way. Unbelievable.ReplyDelete
The feel of those old blocks kind of reminds me of Fig Tree fabrics.ReplyDelete
My friend D had her room redecorated in the most awesome peach and sage green, in the late 80s. I was so jealous.
I think the muted colors will come back, but I can't really imagine it. Just like I couldn't imagine wide jeans coming back in style during the late 80s. Or skinny ones coming back... in the last 10 years.
I hear you on the conspiracy thing; one of my design professors in college was on the committee that picked color trends. PICKED the trends. I thought it was crazy, but so far, so good :)ReplyDelete
1. You MUST keep the squares.ReplyDelete
2. I saw use them. Now. Who cares what is "in". Maybe frame each square with a bold fabric (http://www.sisboom.com/nggallery/page-28/album-2/gallery-18/) and then have them run across the bottom of a solid color fabric front or back of the quilt. Just an idea but what ever you do, LOVE them! THey are fab!
I didn't know they had gone away :-) i love looking at all the bright's, but i couldn't live with them full timeReplyDelete
Yeah .... they'll be back. Everything old is new again.ReplyDelete
I just ordered myself some funky new glasses and just realized they're the same glasses I had in high school.
The colors remind me of Miami Vice..... :)and yes, they will be back before we know it....ReplyDelete
Hehe - uh, no - I will never miss the avocado greens and oranges of the 70s! I will be blissfully "unique" if those colors go dominant again in decor.ReplyDelete
But - I'm wondering *why* the colors have to be in style for you to make a quilt out of your blocks?
How totally cool to make a memory quilt for yourself out of them! Throw them together with some Kona solids in today's fun free-style and enjoy a great blast from the past whenever you pull it out and use it!
I just started watching Mad Men (set in 1960 - at least the 1st season which I'm on) & was just telling my husband how much stuff in thier homes & offices looked "modern" to me & hoe many contemporary quilt palates I was seeing! Hmm ... I think I have an idea! ;]ReplyDelete
they will work, but they will always whisper "the 80's" that is OK... but if you piece them on point with gray.. or maybe offset by a Fasset print of flowers they can be beautiful.ReplyDelete
"Fresh Picked" is the color scheme in our soon-to-be finished addition. I went with a light peach for the wall color, with blue and white accents. Granted, I did it more out of necessity than choice. We "inherited" a couch from my folks (Ethan Allen circa 1989) and I was unwilling to divert funds to recover it. {grin} That said, I love the peach! I have big, bold colors on the main floor of our house (like, a candy apple red kitchen!) and for some reason went with pastels on the lower level. Love, love, love --- it's warm and calming all at the same time. I grin everything I go down the stairs!ReplyDelete
You are going to be so ready when those colors come back in style! I remember when wide-leg pants came back in style and I swore I'd never wear bell-bottoms, but I did! What about the 'pegged' pants that we wore rolled up and often pinned? I just bought some like that this week? Sometimes the style looks a little weird to me at first, but then I love it! I'm sure I'll feel the same way about these dusty pastels!ReplyDelete
Greetings from Tunisia! Just stopped by to enjoy your blog while surfing the net and trying to beat the heat. Your thoughts on changing color styles is provocative--I must be out of it because I still like the "dusty" colors! Great quilt projects and good commentary! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
best, nadia
I only have about 6 finished blocks so I'm not really looking for anything to do with them. I'm just saving them for the day when my girls think they are "vintage-cool". lol.ReplyDelete
For now they just remind me of hanging out with my best friend Allison in her room that was these colors, listening to the Police Greatest Hits, talking about boys and comparing notes on hairspray for our bangs.
I've been to design seeds before. Kind of overwhelming at all you can do.ReplyDelete
My mom laughed at me when the 70's colors started coming back and I fell head over heels for them. But now they've grown on her, too...so I'm getting the last laugh. I almost bought a couch at an auction a couple years ago that was GREEN. Not avacado green, but definitely VERY green. And I"m with you - one of my favorite chairs is a goldenrod chair from the 70's. LOVE it.ReplyDelete
It's guaranteed. As soon as you get rid of something, the colors, style, whatever it is about it, will come back. So please please please don't get rid of your dusty color palette! I'm not ready yet--although I still have some of the fabric! lolReplyDelete
Maybe I should be embarrassed, but I actually like some of the prints in those blocks. the yellow especially, but I saw a few others. Hold onto those gems, you'll be happy for whatever reason, someday... xo amyReplyDelete

I agree with Debbie and Bette Lou. You will find colors and styles returning. I feel it is a true test of what is really popular and here to stay.ReplyDelete

Best stay in this part of the state!
My wife and I stayed here for over two weeks while doing business in Hastings. It is renovated 1880 3-story mansion on a quiet street on a large lot with huge oak trees. We stayed in the penthouse condo during our visit, and were allowed a tour of the 1st and 2nd story condo when it was unoccupied. The 1st and 2nd floor condo is large enough for an entire family to stay, with 3 bedrooms and several baths. It also has a private elevator to go from the 1st to 2nd floor if you don't want to take the stairs. The 3rd floor penthouse condo is more modern and is also spacious. It has an upgraded kitchen with top quality appliances, two separate baths, a private elevator, and a glass atrium outside the condo with a built in fireplace. The atrium allows sitting "outside" watching the thunderstorms and sunsets up among the oak trees. The owner/operators are quite pleasant and accommodating. We recommend staying here for extended visits. It beats anything for 50 miles around in comfort and value.

Pastor Maldonado has dismissed rumours that he is set to leave Williams - and maybe F1 - at the end of this season.
In the wake of the Japanese GP, rumours emerged claiming that the Venezuelan driver was frustrated with Williams' lack of progress and looking for a way out.
Those were followed by a report from the Associated Press that state-owned oil giant PDVSA will no longer able to provide sponsorship to international drivers s the government has frozen all disbursements.
Maldonado, though, has denied that there are any issues with his continuing at Williams in 2014.
"Rumours about my relationship with Williams and vice versa are completely false," he tweeted.
"There is a good relationship between driver and team, who have been working hard day and night to improve our performance and results.
"Unfortunately this is F1, there are good years and bad, I don't think we are the only ones who go through difficult times in terms of results.
"Similarly we have shown that even with a non-competitive performance we did not give up and won't give up until the last race."
He insisted that he would remain in Formula One next season.
"About my future! I will be in F1 next season proudly representing Venezuela. Hopefully good news soon."

- Run Time: 43 minutes

- Language: English

In the Sharkbite Summer DVD, it's the summer of 2001 and America is gripped by shark fever. Were the Ocean's apex predators really taking back America's shores? The Shark Bite Summer DVD is the definitive bite-by-bite account of the shark attacks of an intense summer.
Eight year old Jessie Arbogast is the first shark victim off Pensacola Beach, Florida. Suddenly, reports of shark attacks begin to come in from all over the US. Time Magazine's front cover proclaims it the Summer of the Shark. During the Shark Attack DVD, it seems like the sharks are out to get us. Three people are bitten during a surfing competition in Florida. The Discovery DVD shows that then ten-year-old David Peltier bleeds to death after being bitten on the leg off Virginia Beach, Virginia. Finally Sergei Zaloukaev, 27 is killed by a shark while wading in the surf off Avon, North Carolina. His girlfriend Natalia is bitten too and loses a foot, but she survives. Sharkbite Summer revisits the attack sites and using news archive, interviews with victims, witnesses, surgeons, family members and shark experts builds an exact picture of the bloody summer of 2001.
Buy the Sharkbite Summer DVD, and revisit the unnerving summer of 2001 as people are continuously attacked and killed by sharks.

text: not gonna get an answer to this for weeks. With all the bugs in the game, the Hunter bugs are the last thing Bliz is going to fit. they are saying at lvl 85 hunters regain dps with the other dps classes. we are just bottom of the tree at 80. I am seeing mages who pushed 10K push 12K now. priest who pushed 8K push 10K...rogues are slaughtering things. Hunters seem to be nerfed by 2K. those numbers will slowly rise as more people figure out how the rotation and specs go...but that is weeks away. Bliz is lucky Star Wars O.R. doesnt ship til next year or they would be in a heap of trouble.

I think there are some serious semantical problems going on between the OP and everyone else here.
Hit chance = chance for YOUR CHAR to hit your opponent
Miss chance = chance for your char to miss hitting your opponent
CHANCE TO BE MISSED = your chance to be missed which is 5% default + what you gain from defense (which has diminishing returns mind you)
CHANCE TO BE HIT = your chance to be regularly hit by a mom, this is normally taken by subtracting your combined avoidance+block from the boss' attack table.
If you're going to post on tankspot, you need to use the terminology here, or at least explain your own terminology. You can't expect us to simply "know" what you're referring to, when the terms are confusing from site to site. we have our own syntax for words here, and it's often accepted as the standard since we ARE the frontline of tanking information. Please, stop, calm down, and rethink your original question, and post it, as best as you can, explaining everything that may be misconstrued. Otherwise, this thread will be closed shortly, because frankly, I'm tired of seeing back and forth arguments of EHP vs Avoidance or EHP vs Threat stats where neither side is going to budge, and no real math is being presented by 1 or both sides.

Filza is one of the newest additions to our team of youth volunteers and we are very happy to have her! She began volunteering just over a month ago and has since been hooked; in just a short period of time she has been involved with CyberSeniors Connect, Computer Buddies and ESL Teen Talk.
Filza enjoys volunteering because it gives her the opportunity to communicate with members of the community. "The greatest part of volunteering is that you are able to interact with a diverse group of participants and are able to help the community strive to accomplish a goal."
Over spring break Filza volunteered for ESL Teen Talk, a program where youth English language learners can practice their language skills while enjoying conversation, fun activities and interaction with peer volunteers. She obviously enjoyed her time: "In the ESL Teen Talk program it was amazing how there were people from eleven different countries gathered into one room. Despite our differences we were all able to unite as a collective group and were successfully able to interact and make friends. This program is unlike any other in the sense that a bond was created among the group. My favorite part is that the volunteers and the participants are not only comfortable in sharing one and others ideas, but are also encouraging and appreciating each other."
If you are interested in learning more about our youth volunteer opportunities click here.
It's not too often that a young Calgarian gets to shake hands with our Premier. At the Fantasyland Hotel Ballroom on October 16th, Aminah Farzana got to do just that.
Aminah was one of 16 recipients from around the province (and one of just four in her age category) to receive a Great Kids Award for 2010. These Awards are given by the Government of Alberta to recognize youth who demonstrate compassion, determination, courage, generosity, and strength of spirit. (You can learn more about the Great Kids Awards here and watch a video of the ceremony here.)
A frequent volunteer with the Calgary Public Library, Aminah was a natural choice for this nomination and we are so pleased she was selected as a winner! She's made quite an impact on the world around her already.
Aminah came to Canada at the age of seven. Returning to Bangladesh at age ten for a visit, Aminah was struck by the poverty there. "This experience made me thankful to be in Canada, because although my mom was from a middle class family, my dad grew up in a very poor family. My dad managed to break the cycle of poverty through education, and he inspired me to take education more seriously. Now, I'm a firm believer of 'the pen is mightier than the sword' and I hope to engage myself in a profession that will allow me to give back to the society that I am a part of, and that is part of me."
The Library has four programs supported by youth volunteers, and Aminah has volunteered with all four. She has been a technology coach for young children and seniors alike, tailoring lessons to differing ages and skills levels. A self-described "big fan of books", Aminah has shared this fondness with younger readers. More recently, she has led engaging activities for her newcomer peers, encouraging them to develop their spoken English in ESL Teen Talk.
Throughout her volunteer career, Aminah has had a hand in opening the door to new worlds of education, inspiration, and enjoyment.She has found volunteering to be beneficial for herself as well as those she helps. "The hours I put into volunteering give me a sense of fulfillment because I'm doing something productive by helping others."
Aminah's contributions don't stop there. Active in her school community, Aminah is a valued member of the Social Justice Club. Her commitment to thoughtfully living her values, sharing her views respectfully, and hearing others with the same respect, has made an impression on her teachers and fellow students. Her Social Studies teacher has this to say:
"Over the course of the last two years, Aminah has become an active citizen trying to raise awareness and arouse action in relation to her passion for ending discrimination and prejudice. In particular, she spearheaded and spent countless hours on a 'Safe Classrooms' campaign in which she designed, created and then posted ceiling-to-floor posters which depict the various religions, ethnicities, gender and sexual identifications represented at our high school. This visible demonstration against the marginalization of minorities got students and teachers alike talking about who makes up our communities and what it means to be a global, engaged citizen."
Along with a sleek statue for her memento shelf, Aminah received a new IBM ThinkPad laptop, a gift certificate for her and her family to enjoy the attractions at West Edmonton Mall, and other gifts.
Congratulations, Aminah!!

6/26 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
1974: Derek Jeter is born. Happy birthday to the Captain (shown here enjoying some of the perks of the office)!
On other 26ths of June…
2006: Randy Johnson has one of his better Yankee days in a 5-2 win over Atlanta. DH Jason Giambi paces the Bomber offense, who jump on right-hander Tim Hudson before he settles in. The Giambino homers for two runs in the first and three in the second, two innings during which it takes Hudson 32 pitches to retire the home side each time. He retires the next nine batters on just another 32 tosses, but the damage is done. Braves reliever Kevin Berry has his major-league debut in this game.
1987: Wade Boggs sees his hitting streak snapped at 25 consecutive games and the Rocket sputters as Roger Clemens fails to hold a 9-0' 2nd-inning lead. The Yanks will plate 11 in the home 3rd, with Don Mattingly (four hits) and Dave Winfield (4 RBI) leading the way.
Boston lose to the Yankees 12-11 in 10 innings. The 9-run comeback ties a Yankee team record: Boston' however' have blown bigger leads.
1980: Commissioner Bowie Kuhn voids the Yankees' drafting of highly touted high school shortstop Billy Cannon' Jr. Four teams had complained that Billy Cannon' Sr.' college football's Heisman Trophy winner in 1959' misled them with telegrams saying that his son would go to college' in the hopes that he would then be drafted by the Yankees. In a special draft' the Indians will pick Cannon
but he chooses to attend Texas A & M instead. The young Cannon will be drafted number one by the Dallas Cowboys in 1984.
1979: The Yankees reacquire fan favourite Bobby Murcer from the Cubs in exchange for pitcher Paul Semall and cash. Murcer will once again thrive at the Stadium, hitting .273 with 8 HRs.
1977: In front of 55'039 home fans' the Yankees complete a 3-game sweep of the Red Sox' avenging the three losses last week to the Sox at Fenway. New York take a 4-1 lead into the 9th' but the Sox tie the game. In the bottom of the 9th' Paul Blair bounces a bases-loaded ball over the head of Butch Hobson at third to pin the loss on reliever Bill Campbell.
1972: Detroit's Bill Slayback, making his first Major League start, throws 7 inning of no-hit ball at the Yanks in a 4-3 Tiges win. Veteran outfielder Johnny Callison, in a brief, late-career Bronx tour of duty, breaks up the no-no with an eighth-inning single.
1944: More than 50'000 pack the Polo Grounds to watch the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants play each other in a 6-inning contest to raise money for war bonds. Each team plays successive innings against the other two teams' then sits out an inning. The final score is Dodgers 5' Yankees 1' Giants.
1941: Mario Russo loses a no hitter in the 7th inning when the Browns' George McQuillan – a future Yankee – homers. Tommy Henrich homers for New York to extend New York's consecutive homer streak to 21 games. Then in the 8th' Henrich bunts Rolfe over to second to give the hitless DiMaggio another at bat. Joe doubles on the first pitch off Eldon Auker to run his streak to 38 games. New York win' 4-1' and take over first place.
1920: Lou Gehrig gets his first national mention when' as a high school junior for New York City's School of Commerce' he steals the show in a high school championship game against Lane Tech in Chicago. His grand slam in the 8th gives the NY team a 12-8 victory.
Scouts sit with open mouths as the ball sails out of Cubs Park (later known as Wrigley Field).
1912: The Yankees send future star Hippo Vaughn (2-8)' winner of last year's opener' to the Senators for the waiver price. In late August' Washington will compound the mistake by selling him to Kansas City (AA).
