Michael Jordan is considered the greatest basketball player of all time. He played in the NBA for 15 seasons with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards, winning 6 championships and 6 Finals MVP awards with the Bulls. Jordan revolutionized the NBA's global popularity in the 1980s and 1990s and is one of the most successfully marketed athletes ever. He holds numerous NBA records and awards and is remembered as one of the most dominant and celebrated players in basketball history.
Basketball was invented in 1891 by James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. He created the game to keep his students active during the winter months indoors. The original rules called for using a soccer ball and throwing it into peach baskets. The first official game was played in December 1891 with two teams of 9 players each. Basketball grew rapidly and became an Olympic sport in 1936 for men and 1976 for women. The NBA was formed in 1946 and began allowing international and minority players to join in later decades, growing the popularity of the professional league around the world.
After four rounds of competition at the 2014 Rochester Flying Disc Open, Dave Feldberg emerged as the winner in the open division. During the final round, Simon Lizotte held a three-stroke lead over Feldberg with three holes to go after making several impressive shots. However, Feldberg then sank difficult consecutive birdie putts on holes 16 and 17 to tie Lizotte heading into the final hole. On the signature hole 18, both Feldberg and Lizotte found themselves with long uphill putts for birdie, and Feldberg calmly sank his 75-foot putt to win the tournament in dramatic fashion as the gallery celebrated wildly.
Tom Brady made his regular season home debut for the New England Patriots after serving a 4 game suspension, throwing for 376 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Patriots defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 35-17. Brady was efficient, completing 29 of 35 passes, while tight end Rob Gronkowski had a big game with 162 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Patriots improved to 5-1 on the season and remained in first place in their division behind Brady's strong return performance in his first game back at Gillette Stadium.
World Series 2020: Tampa Bay Rays revel, Los Angeles Dodgers despair as Game ...John Eilermann St Louis
It happened just past midnight on the East Coast, 34 years to the day the last time a World Series game concluded like this. There are so many possible outcomes for the final play of a baseball game. Home run. Strikeout. Single. Groundout. It's a testament to how good players are that what unfolded in the earliest hours of Sunday morning was so jaw-dropping, an unforgettable October moment, when a fielding error ends a World Series game.
This document summarizes two young quarterbacks in the NFL that are poised to take over the league in the coming years. It discusses Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles, who at age 25 has become an MVP candidate after leading the Eagles to a strong start before getting injured. It also discusses Jared Goff of the Los Angeles Rams, who struggled as a rookie but has shown vast improvement in his second season in accuracy and football IQ. Both Wentz and Goff were top picks in the 2016 NFL draft and will be linked throughout their careers.
Ten or twenty years ago, writers, photograhers, and other creative people had physical porfolios of there work that they could show to prospective clients. Today with so much of our work online (and our lives for that matter) it makes sense to have an online portfolio of our work. This is my online portfolio.

16 Things I Learned From Leonard NimoyDarryl Heron
On February 27, 2015, we lost an icon, a man known the world over. Even if you never saw a scene from Star Trek, you could recognize Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock. Here are 16 things that I learned from Leonard Nimoy (sometimes with a little help from Mr. Spock).
Every sport has its legends, can you imagine soccer (football or fußball) without Pelé? This presentation is based on a speech that I gave at my Toastmasters club for a "Word Cup Fever" themed meeting that we held on June 11th. Enjoy the World Cup and why not share the magic of Pelé.
What an exciting World Cup it has been. Here is a little something that I put together in honor of the German National Team winning this year's World Cup.
The document summarizes the current status of Detroit's four major sports teams - the Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, and Pistons. It notes that the Lions are 1-3, the Tigers' third baseman Miguel Cabrera has won the triple crown, the Red Wings season has not started due to the NHL lockout, and the Pistons have a 13-14 record. Key players and their recent stats are highlighted for each team.
Walter Johnson was considered the greatest right-handed pitcher in baseball history and was known as the hardest thrower of his time. He anchored the only World Series-winning team for the often terrible Washington Senators in 1924. Lefty Grove was one of the best left-handed pitchers, winning 300 games and having an amazing winning percentage while delaying his MLB debut until age 25. Tom Seaver was the best player in Mets history, leading them to a World Series title in 1969 while striking out over 3,600 batters in his career.
The document provides information about the 2016 MLB All-Star Game including the date, location, and starting lineups for both the American League and National League teams. It highlights David Ortiz who is making his 10th and final All-Star appearance as he will retire at the end of the season. Ortiz is having one of his best seasons at age 40 and is the spotlight player for the game.
Mike Schmidt was a talented third baseman who won 10 Gold Gloves for his defense and hit over 500 career home runs. He won 3 MVP awards, including back-to-back honors at his peak, and led the league in home runs eight times. Eddie Mathews was one of the most feared sluggers of the 1950s and the only player to play for the Braves in Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. George Brett was a line-drive hitting star for the Kansas City Royals who came close to hitting .400 in 1980 and collected over 3,000 career hits.
The document provides a profile of the Detroit Tigers baseball team over the past several decades from the perspective of a die-hard fan. It discusses the team's struggles in the early 2000s with poor records and empty stadium seats, before hiring a new manager led to three playoff appearances in quick succession. Stars like Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander emerged, helping make the Tigers competitive annually in the late 2000s and early 2010s. While the team has struggled more recently, owner Mike Ilitch's spending helped bring titles contention. The fan expresses hope that the Tigers will again field a championship-caliber team in the future.
1) A quiz game is described that involves identifying athletes from biographical titles and custom logos. Correct answers earn points.
2) Round 1 involves identifying details about specific sports events, players, and terms. Correct answers earn points while incorrect answers result in point deductions.
3) Round 2 involves identifying the custom logos of 6 athletes and their corresponding sports. Correct identification earns points.
The document summarizes the 2012 Detroit Tigers baseball team. It describes their top pitcher, Justin Verlander, and slugger, Miguel Cabrera. It then lists the team's starting rotation and provides the active rosters of pitchers, catchers, infielders, and outfielders. The summary concludes with the results of the Tigers' playoff series against the New York Yankees in the ALDS and Texas Rangers in the ALCS.
Eddie Collins was a highly skilled second baseman who played for 25 years in the major leagues. He led his league in fielding nine times and was considered the finest second baseman of his time. He was an aggressive player and part of four World Series championship teams.
The document lists and describes the top 10 championship moments in New York sports history, including the New York Yankees winning the 2000 World Series against the cross-town Mets, the New York Knicks winning the NBA championship in 1973 against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the New York Rangers winning the 1994 Stanley Cup after 54 years without a championship.
Normally baseball trivia is consumed by the average fan in a question-answer format. Today, we are going to try something different. I’ll name a player from Cubs history, present a little background of that player, then finally reveal why the player is relevant in terms of 2018 Cubs trivia. Let’s get started.
Francesco Totti is considered a "one club man" having played his entire career with Roma. He has won several individual and team awards including helping Italy win the 2006 World Cup. Michelle Pfiffer is related to cricket commentary as her last name, "Fifer", sounds like the cricket term for a 5 wicket haul. Winning the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back is known as a "Channel Slam" and considered very difficult due to the different surfaces between the two tournaments.
The retired Red Sox numbers are posted on the right field facade at Fenway Park. The Red Sox retire numbers based on a player being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and playing at least 10 seasons with the Red Sox. Numbers retired include Bobby Doerr (#1), Joe Cronin (#4), Johnny Pesky (#6), Carl Yastrzemski (#8), Ted Williams (#9), and Jim Rice (#14). Jackie Robinson's #42 is also retired throughout Major League Baseball. The document provides biographical information and career highlights for each of the retired Red Sox players.
The Kansas City Royals defeated the New York Mets in the 2015 World Series to win their first championship since 1985. After losing game 7 of the 2014 World Series, the Royals were determined to finish the job in 2015. They dominated the playoffs, defeating the Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets to win the World Series in 5 games. Over a million fans lined the streets of Kansas City to celebrate with a championship parade for the Royals.
Pat Tillman was a former NFL player who left a multimillion dollar contract with the Arizona Cardinals to join the U.S. Army after 9/11. He became an Army Ranger and was killed in action in Afghanistan at age 27 while serving on the front lines. His sacrifice reminded people what true heroism and patriotism are about, as he willingly risked his life for a modest soldier's salary instead of wealth and fame.
ATLANTA >> Baseball Hall of Famer Phil Niekro, who pitched well into his 40s with a knuckleball that baffled big league hitters for more than two decades, mostly with the Atlanta Braves, has died after a long fight with cancer, the team announced today. He was 81. The Braves said Niekro died Saturday night in his sleep. He lived in the Atlanta suburb of Flowery Branch, where a main thoroughfare bears his name.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

The Netherlands are in Group D in Euro Cup Germany - and, unpaid to this, they will be coming up against familiar foes. Remarkably, they have played France, who have fashioned some of the greatest players of all time, 30 times throughout history. Despite France being more effective in major competitions, including captivating the World Cup in 2018, Holland have the greater head-to-head record.

However, in 2023, they played one another twice, with France endearing both matches 4-0 and 2-1 individually. Against Poland and Austria, the Netherlands also have a stout record, winning just under half the matches. They faced Austria at Euro 2020, engaging 2-0, and they haven't lost to Poland since 1979.
The lettering is on the wall for Holland to qualify for the knockouts, but nothing is failsafe. The Netherlands kickstart their Euros campaign against Poland on Sunday, June 16th. In Hamburg, they will have to go up against one of the best strikers in the world, Robert Lewandowski.

Five days later, they travel south to face France in Leipzig, a side led by Kylian Mbappe - one of the finest players in the world currently and one of the most impressive players in his nation's history. To conclude, they face Austria in Berlin, knowing it could be the end of the road if they don't perform.
Ronald Koeman is widely considered one of the more successful Dutch managers in Premier League history, considering the nation has a reputation for struggling to replicate their talents in England. The former Everton manager went against that script and shone — and now he is back managing his nation.

Netherlands vs Austria: Ronald Koeman's Tactical Approach For UEFA Euro 2024
As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.

Bless You Boys: The 30th Anniversary of 1984 World Champion Detroit Tigers
1. Bless You Boys:
The 30th Anniversary
of the
1984 World Champion
Detroit Tigers
By Darryl Heron
2. The 1984 Detroit Tigers Season
was a magical one for me
and one I‘ll never forget.
It was a real boost to
a city and a metropolitan community
that really needed one!
I fondly look back, 30 years later.
I hope you join me on this journey
3. The Tigers started the season strong with a
9 game winning streak
On April 7, Jack Morris pictched a no hitter
After 40 games into the season they were
35-5
If fact, they never let their lead slip the
entire season
4. Jack Morris was a pictcher that the
Tigers could count on, winning 19
games during that season with an ERA
(Earned Run Average) of 3.60
5. Aurelio Lopez, „Senior Smoke“ was
that relief pitcher that every bullpin
needs.
He finished the seaon 10-1 with 14
saves and a 2.94 ERA.
6. Willie Hernandez, received the Cy
Young Award, becoming one of the
few relief pitchers to earn that award!
His record for the year was 9-3 with 32
saves, 1.92 ERA, 112 strikouts, giving
up only 6 home runs, 30 runs, and 96
hits. Of 33 save apperances, he
recorded 32.
7. With Lou Whitaker at
Second Base and
Alan Trammel at Shortstop,
you never knew when
they‘d get a double play.
These two sure stopped
plenty of baserunners that
year!
8. Lance Parrish was ever
present behind homeplate
He 33 runs and 98 RBIs
(runs batted in) durring the
season
9. Kirk Gibson was a
hometown favorite with a
lot of spark and hustle. He
had 27 home runs, 91 RBIs,
and 29 stolen bases!
Pitchers really had to keep
their eye on him, when he
got on base there was a
good chance that he was
going to steal a base or two.
11. Watching that Magic Number...
In September we started looking at the
magic number, that combination of wins by
the Tigers and losses by the other teams
trying to capture the American League East
Division Crown neede for theTigers to make
the playoffs. Some friends and I were at the
game when they clinched the division tittle.
The fans and the area were estactic!
12. 1984 ALCS....
The Tigers swept the Kansas City Royals in 3
games in the American League
Championship Series.
The Tigers were on their way back to the
World Series!
Their last trip to the Series was when the
won it in 1968! (I would have my 2nd
birthday shortly after that)
13. Game One-
Tuesday October 9th in Kansas City
Jack Morris got off to a bad start with Steve
Garvey and Graig Nettles getting on base
and Terry Kennedy hitting a two run double.
Larry Herndon hit a two-run home run that
turned out the be the game winner. Jack
Morris pitched the complete game and
gave the Tigers the first win of the Series!
Detroit 3 San Diego 2
14. Game Two-
Wenesday October 10th in Kansas City
Kurt Bevacqua got a three-run home run off
Dan Petry in the fifth-inning and the Padres
ended up tying up the series at 1-1.
Detroit 3 San Diego 5
15. Game Three-
Friday October 12th in Detroit
The Tigers hit starting pitcher Tim Lollar up
for four runs, including a two-run homer by
Marty Castillo, in the second-inning. Willie
Hernandez pitched 2 1/3 innings of relief
and Milt Wilcox got the win. Tigers take lead
of the Series.
Detroit 5 San Diego 2
16. Game Four-
Saturday October 13th in Detroit
Allan Trammell hit two two-run homers
(first and third-innings) and Jack Morris
pitched another complete game. Trammell
went 9 for 20 against the Padres in the
Series. The Tigers are now up 3-1.
Detroit 4 San Diego 2
17. Game Five-
Sunday October 14th in Detroit
The Padres had rallied and were within one run
of the Tigers. Bottom of the 8th with runners on
second and third and one out. The question now
was, if Goose Gossage was going to walk Kirk
Gibson or pitch to him. The answer goes into
baseball history, Gibson got the pitch he wanted
and hit one into the upper deck. The Tigers win
the Series!
Detroit 8 San Diego 4

20. The Sporting News seemed
to be onto something as
early as their May 28th
issue!
21. For me I was entering my Senior Year of
high school on a high note. Watching my
first local professional sports team capture a
championship was exciting and addicting.
I‘ve been fortunate enough to see several
other local teams win championships...
but I‘ll never forget the „Roar in 84“ !
„Bless You Boys“!
22. Sadly, Aurelio Lopez died in at car accident
at the age of 44 on Septmber 22, 1992 and
Sparky Anderson passed away at the age of
76 on November 4, 2010. Tiger fans won‘t
soon forget these two!
23. I hope that you‘ve enjoyed this trip down
memory lane...
