The Wealthiest Athletes of All Time
We’ve all got our own set of heroes when it comes to professional sport. If you’re a basketball fan, you might love LeBron James. If you’re into golf, you may have idolized Tiger Woods at some stage, and if you like tennis, it could be Roger Federer. But regardless of who our own personal superstars may be, there is one fact that justifies certain athletes as being some of the greatest in their sports - the numbers.

Health and Safety tips for cricket players
A hardball being bowled at high speeds with a batsman returning the favor with greater velocity is always going to present an element of danger. There is a good reason why a wicket-keeper looks more like they're about to defend the goalmouth in an ice hockey match.

Somers Youth Coaching Tidbits from the 1970s
Mr. Brown Growing up, I played all the standards. Basketball, football, baseball and on occasion, I even played hockey on the pond behind my house. That said, I was delusional like everyone else. I would not only play for the Yankees but the Knicks and Giants too. Thus, I started playing organized basketball at the intermediate school and my young coach loved my scrappy defense and ability to drive to the basket. So I figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to work on my dribbling skills. I would go down to my basement and pound the cement with the rock. I got pretty good, and there’s a decent chance my work got the attention of the man in charge. Always on hand overseeing the league and practices, Mr. Brown stressed the fundamentals, and for my purposes, suggested that the ABA was not the place to emulate the skill I was working. “They dribble up here," he instructed. "You've got to get lower to the ground.”

1985-1989 : My Athletes of the Year
Photo by Kanesue 1985 Don Mattingly Photo by Corn Farmer We heard about Steve Balboni and were pretty excited. His round gut and bald pate didn’t bother us either. The future looked bright and then the name Don Mattingly came down. The name itself sounded like that of a superstar, and sliding into right field in 1983, he kind of looked the part. His .283 batting average didn’t come without all the Balboni strikeouts either, and 1984 failed to have many of us put up a fight over the Yankees choice at first. Any pushback dissipated as Donny Baseball made the short porch and the expansive gaps his home, while the outside corner had Donny showing he could slap singles with the best of ‘em. The 1984 batting title was just the beginning, though. 38 homers and 135 RBIs took precedence over his 338 batting average, and every time he came to the plate, you had to stop what you were doing. An MVP season still had the Yankees come up short, and it became an annual thing. Dying every year with Mattingly was just too much, but at least he had a brief shinning moment in 1995 before Griffey stole what was rightfully ours.

What elements do you need to play Table Tennis?
If there is a sport that anyone can practice, it is undoubtedly Table Tennis or Ping-Pong. Although at the elite level it is one of the most complicated sports that exist (according to NASA the most), at the amateur level it adapts to almost all needs. From those people who want speed and demand to stay in shape, to those who just want to have fun without too much physical wear and tear.

1980-1984 : My Athletes of the Year
Photo by ajay_suresh 1980 : Reggie Jackson Photo by Larry Neuberger Reggie went on a rampage in 1980. Free of Billy Martin and all the controversy he instigated around Thurman Munson, Reggie had his best regular season in NY. He hit .300, swatted 41 homers and had 111 RBIs. Pre-steroids and juiced balls, the 1980 HR outburst was big time. The ultimate respect came from Earl Weaver and the Orioles. In the heat of the 1980 Pennant Race, Weaver took the bat out of Reggie’s hands and walked 44 almost every time he came up to the plate. Otherwise, my favorite moment came in a game against Toronto. After three straight balls to start the 9th, Reggie looked down to third base for the sign. He couldn’t help tip his hand and stepped out of the box in frustration at the take sign….or not. The pitcher grooved a strike and Reggie crushed the meatball for a walk off homer. Classic Reggie. Unfortunately, the post season didn’t go the Yankees’ way, and they were out in three.

Sports inside a bubble
Please do not bust the bubble, we need it Many things came to an end due to COVID, from shows to sports. Sports have a better chance of happening before shows do, but at least we get something. The sports that have started so far are soccer, baseball, basketball, and hockey. From what I’m seeing, European Soccer and the NBA are doing an outstanding job with containing the virus and being able to play sports.

Athletics: When barefoot Bikila became a global sensation. Top Story - August 2020.
I know my father was a decent rugby player and an accomplished boxer during his national service, but I’m not really sure where his reverence for the world’s greatest distance runners emanated from.
