The Mr. Baseball Foundation Will Raise Money for a New Monument at Oahu Cemetery in Honolulu, Hawaii

By Anonymous

Seattle, WA August 13, 2004 -- Alexander Joy Cartwright, IV, Founder of the Mr. Baseball Foundation and CEO of MR Baseball LLC will be asking the Hawaiian public for funds to raise a monument at the gravesite of his ancestor Alexander Joy Cartwright Jr. to acknowledge his Great, Great Grandfather’s contribution to baseball. Cartwright's gravesite at Oahu Cemetery is visited by hundreds of people each year, yet there has never been a formal marking that indicates his contributions to Hawaiian society and involvement with baseball's beginnings.

“This new monument will sit next to the existing headstone and will bare the words of Alick’s Hall of Fame Plaque in Cooperstown NY. Forever will the people of Hawaii and visitors know that Alick was both a great statesman of Hawaii and the “Father of Baseball”

The monument is scheduled for completion in 2006 with a ceremony scheduled around April 17th 2006, Alick’s Birthday.

Aluminium baseball bats

By ajay pats

This article summerizes superiority of aluminium baseball bat over wooden baseball bat
The crack of the bat as it makes contact with the ball has been part of the excitement of a good game from the beginning. This changes somewhat in the 1970s when aluminum baseball bats made their entrance to the sport. At first they were met with skepticism because they were flawed when compared to the standard old wooden ones. They originally were heavier than wood and stung the hands of the batter more. It was hard for people to see how aluminum baseball bats could ever find a permanent home in baseball. They offered the advantage of durability though and this kept the sport interested. They simply did not break and far outlived their wooden ancestors.

As time went on and technology had a chance to work on aluminum baseball bats, they became lighter and easier on the hands and arms of the batter. Soon they were becoming more popular in the game and have now become a staple in the sport. The wooden bats are still available and some players prefer them still. There is no doubt though now that the aluminum ones are here to stay. They are lighter now than wooden bats and still much stronger. With the vibrations reduced to a minimum when the bat is used, all areas of problem were eliminated.

Aluminum baseball bats can be purchased online individually or in large numbers for teams or leagues. You will find a large selection and find information that will help you to understand the technology of a metal bat. Visit http://venturemall.tripod.com to buy sports merchandise.
