Peanuts & Crackerjack. Top Story - June 2023.
Cleveland Stadium 1948 The ninth inning stretch. The ball game is tied with two outs, two strikes and a man on second. I tap the bat on home plate. Its dead weight lumbers as mental exhaustion takes its toll. Man on second, willing to chance it. Pitcher eyes him but doesn't give in to the dangerous bluff. I kick up dust, readying my stance, the bat lays stiff upon my cramping shoulder. It's daylight still, but the stadium lights are on anyway. They trick my brain into believing they are causing the sweltering heat. The roar from the crowd intensifies. Sporadic clouds are motionless as if they don't want to miss this exhilarating predicament. The crafty catcher adjusts his stance and spits to the dry dirt. The staunch umpire doesn't flinch or even blink; he knows how important his call will be. The pitcher winds up, his grip tells me its gonna curve. The release is fierce. Beads of sweat from his hair and face disperse in every direction as the force of his might is unfailing. My left leg lifts - an instinctual move that will increase the power of my swing. My eyes lock on the speeding white dot as it instantly becomes the target I intend to destroy. The swing is late, but I manage a solid tip. The ball is taking a fast bounce toward the pitcher who is recovering from the almighty throw. The man on second leaves in a desperate rush. I drop the bat and focus my sprint on the only destination I have - first base. Three defenders race inward to be the first to retrieve the skidding ball. Man is now on third! I watch the open glove of my adversary, wondering if I will win this race. I switch my attention to his eyes, looking for a clue, some kind of reaction that tells me the ball is in the air and heading his way. All I see is frustration. The roar of the crowd spikes, something happens that I can’t see. The first baseman takes off right as my left stride touches the bag. I waste no time turning my head to see the pitcher laying on his stomach, pounding the turf with an open glove. He misses the opportunity to out me and the ball has quickly bounced past him. Excitement grows. This isn’t over yet... It has become a fight to tag out the runner heading homeward. The catcher falls to his knees in obvious desperation as he watches my teammate make the run of his life. He knows it’s going to be close when he sees the shortstop fumble the ball for a second too long. I jump up and down with no plans on leaving first base. All my chips are on the speed and agility of the active runner. His cleats dig into the dirt, creating a dust storm in his wake. He dives into the air and lands on his chest to begin the crucial slide to home plate. The shortstop fires the ball to the catcher. It immediately begins closing the gap. The crowd's roar decreases as everyone awaits this gut-wrenching outcome. The bench begins to celebrate even before he reaches the plate. The crowd goes nuts. Everyone knows how this story will end… The runner is met by the entire team as his fingers inch across home plate. The sound of the ball making contact with the catcher's glove is milliseconds too late. The ump swings his arms outward, officially calling him safe. We won! We won this hard-fought game to advance! Emotions sink in.

John Jay Track is Happy to be Off and Running Again
On Wednesday April 12, John Jay got into the blocks, and in their first meet at home, defeated Pelham by a score of 167-126. But for Sloan Wasserman, the matchup with Pelham was more like a back to back. She lined up for the 800 meter, and almost immediately after crossing the finish line, she was off on the 3K. “I need more time,” she admitted, “just five minutes, I could have done much better.” Her opponents, on the other hand, still only saw a purple blur and were probably left wondering how much better could this runner be.

The origin of Mother's Day
Mother's Day originated in Greece. The ancient Greeks paid tribute to Hera, the mother of the gods in Greek mythology, on this day. In the middle of the 17th century, Mother's Day spread to the United Kingdom, the British people put the lent period (lent refers to the 40 days before Easter, except Sunday) on the fourth Sunday as Mother's Day. On this day, the young people who have been away from home will return home and give their mothers a small and ingenious gift. Mother's Day in the modern sense originated in the United States, by Anna Javits (1864-1948) initiated. She never married and stayed by her mother's side. Anna Jarvis was devastated by the tragic death of her mother in 1905. On the anniversary of her mother's death the following year, Anna organized events to remember her mother and encouraged others to show their gratitude in a similar way. Since then, she has lobbied and appealed to all walks of life, calling for a Mother's Day. Two years later, Anna and her friends wrote to influential government ministers, MPS and business figures of the day asking for Mother's Day to be made an official holiday. Anna believes that children are often too busy to care about their mothers. She hopes that Mother's Day will make people think more about what their mothers have done for their families. Her appeal was met with enthusiasm. The first Mother's Day was celebrated in West Virginia and Pennsylvania on May 10, 1908. On that festival, the carnation was chosen as the flower dedicated to mother and has been handed down ever since. In 1913, the United States Congress passed a bill to make the second Sunday in May the official Mother's Day. The move was followed around the world, and by 1948, when Anna gave birth, 43 countries had established a Mother's Day.
