Hi sports fans! Hope that your
summer was interesting, fun, ex
citing, and that you made lots of
money. There were many things
that happened in the world of
sports this summer: Take for in
stance Aldrin and Armstrong ex
ercising on the moon and Joe Na-
math exercising his mouth to the
nth degree. There were many mil
lions of persons playing golf, tennis,
baseball, softball, swimming, water
skiing, horseback riding, and last
but not least jogging. Yes, I hope
that you were among the millions
who took advantage of the beautiful
weather and got lots of exercise.
Many people got exercise walking
up the aisle, but we won’t talk
about them, because well, you know
what I mean ....
Let’s not spend any more time
on trivia and get to the more im
portant happenings in the world of
sports.
Baseball’s centennial year has had
an exciting summer. The All-Star
game was preceded by a gala
party at none other than the White
House and a dinner at which the
All Time All-Star team and the All
Time All-Star Living team were

announced. The game was rained
out the night it was to be played,
and that caused President Nixon to
miss the game, but the famous
Vice-President, (I believe his name
is Agnew,) made it to the game the
next day and saw a real slugfest.
Due to my lack of information I do
not know the exact score of the
game, but I believe it was 11-6 in
favor of the Njitional League. One
reason that there were more hits
than usual was probably due to the
fact that the pitching mound has
been lowered, and this has enabled
the batters to raise their batting
averages.
I imagine that most of you have
heard of the latest accomplishment
of the New York Mets. They have
won the eastern division of the
National League and will be playing
the Atlanta Braves for the National
League pennant. This will be the
first time the Atlanta dub has
participated in the playoff, too. Of
course this could be due to the fact
that this is the first year that there
have been divisions within each
league! However, the Mets have
come a long way since their first
year in the League when they won
only 40 games out of about 160.
The Baltimore Orioles will be
playing the Minnesota Twins for
the American League pennant. The
playoffs are set to begin on October
4, with the pennant being decided
in a 3 out of 5 series. The winners
of each league will then play in the
World Series which is the best out
of 7 games. My prediction is that
the Baltimore Orioles will be play
ing the New York Mets in the
Series. Let’s see how close I am
to the truth!
