Our
National Pastime |
|
|
Before I provide you with
the following information, I
have three confessions to make: 1) I am a sports widow 2) It
looks as if I am also going to be the mother of a sports nut since my
son has
apparently inherited his father’s love of most sports
3) I
hate sports. However, in the interest of
those who love baseball (and I guess there are worse things to be
devoted to),
you might be interested in looking up the following website: www.baseballhalloffame.com
This is, of
course, the website for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. As expected, the site contains a
mind-boggling amount of information concerning our national
pastime and includes features such as: ►
This
Day In Baseball History ►
A
2002 Necrology (listing those who died during that year—apparently it
was
too depressing to keep current) ►
Tons
of trivia quizzes
►
A
celebration of Women’s History in
baseball ►
Statistics
for every member of the Baseball Hall Of Fame ►
Access
to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame’s Online
Library Catalog ►
Research
Lists containing such juicy tidbits as “Major League Players With
Halloween
Names and Nicknames,” a transcript of Abbott and Costello’s classic “Who’s
On First” comedy
bit, as well as the
poem “Casey At The Bat” by Ernest Lawrence Thayer ►
Free
desktop wallpaper which includes images of Hall of
Famers, Cooperstown, and others ►
Free
digital postcards
Again, this
is an impressive site...if you happen to
like baseball.
Enjoy! |
