With strikeouts piling up, scoring plummeting, attendance falling and games often descending into all-or-nothing bores, it's no wonder that some people are calling for radical change to baseball.The sport faced a similar challenge 50 years ago, dogged by a scoring depression and?lagging fan interest. In response, baseball's rules committee lowered the pitcher's mound 5 inches and tightened the strike zone, making it harder for pitchers to dominate the game. That sparked more scoring the next season — and more exciting games for fans.If those fixes could breathe new life into the sport then, there's no reason a similar strategy wouldn't work now.Today, infield shifts — where teams load three players on one side of the infield — are gobbling up hits and forcing hitters to obsess over launch angles to lift balls over the infield and into the seats. So, a good place to start would be requiring two infielders on each side of second base, spreading them out in a traditional defensive alignment.Lowering the pitcher's mound also worked in 1968, and it's worth considering dropping it some more to help reduce the elevation advantage that pitchers have, especially in today's era of often overmatched hitters facing down 100 mph+ pitches. And a pitch clock, requiring pitchers to throw to the batter within 20 seconds, could move things along, squeezing some dead air out of games.This year's playoffs have featured some exciting matchups, but oftentimes teams have suffered through collective slumps that have become endemic in the sport. In the National League, the Colorado Rockies scored a total of two runs in three games as they were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers, while the Atlanta Braves got shut out twice in their four-game series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Over in the American League, the Cleveland Indians managed just six runs in three games in a losing effort to the Houston Astros. And those were among the best-hitting teams in baseball.The 1968 season was known as the "Year of the Pitcher," when pitching was so dominant that Carl Yastrzemski was the only player in the American League with a batting average over .300, the standard for excellence in hitting. Pitcher Bob Gibson led the National League with a 1.12 earned run average (ERA), the best since the Deadball era (an ERA under 3.00 is generally considered very good). Attendance fell for the second straight season and many people wrote off the sport as too boring, especially compared to faster-paced ones. Marshall McLuhan declared, "Baseball is doomed. It is a dying sport."Today, the sport is at a crossroads again, with strikeouts outnumbering hits this year for the first time, and too many plays ending in the dreaded "three true outcomes" -- strikeouts, walks and home runs -- where there's no action on the field. Baseball's leaders recognize that change is needed, and hopefully they will follow through as their predecessors did a half-century ago.The '68 season was truly the ice age of modern baseball. MLB players combined?to hit just .237, the worst in baseball history, and seven teams batted .230 or lower. (By comparison, this year's collective batting average was .248.) The New York Yankees hit a baseball-worst?.214 and still managed to have a winning season. Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers threw six consecutive shutouts and broke Walter Johnson's 55-year-old record by tossing 58 and two-thirds consecutive scoreless innings.Drysdale was the winning pitcher in the All-Star Game, which the National League won by a typical 1968 score of 1-0. The sport's best hitters managed just eight hits that night while striking out 20 times.Baseball drew barely 14,000 fans?a game that season, and even some of the players' family members were yawning at the lack of action, as the Washington Post described that summer:"I think everyone would like to see more of the spectacular things you used to see in baseball: the base stealing, the arguments with the umpire, people screaming, 'throw the bums out,'" said Liz Peterson, wife of Washington outfielder Cap Peterson, who stole just two bases that year while batting .204. "That's when the game is fun."A lot of people today would like to see more base stealing, which has gone out of fashion, along with other exciting plays on the decline as players too often swing for the fences. Former player and manager Dusty Baker, who broke into the majors in '68, spoke for many when?he told Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic:"The game is getting so slow. And it's not exciting. What happened to the triple? Scoring from first on a double or a long single, running 3-2. I think the game is going to come back. It has to come back."Ted Williams made a similar prediction after baseball enacted changes to the sport in December 1968. Williams took over as manager of the Washington Senators the next season, and at spring training that year, a young reporter named Ira Berkow asked him: "Is Baseball doomed?"Williams replied: "There's no question about it, baseball is not as popular as it was 10 years ago. But games go in cycles. Baseball is down now, but it'll come back." And of course, that proved to be true, but it took some corrective action to make it happen.By midsummer 1969, Sports Illustrated declared that Baseball Booms Again. That season featured the Miracle Mets winning the World Series, and a minor miracle in Washington, where Williams led the second Washington Senators franchise to its only winning season.Across baseball, runs increased and strikeouts waned, increasing action, just as the owners had wanted. Now, we need that same upswing.Purists might object to tinkering with the sport, but isn't the more radical change continuing down a sclerotic path where more and more of the action is no action? Baseball can be an exciting game, and there's nothing wrong with the national pastime that some extra balls in the gap, stolen bases, and movement on the bases can't fix. 6039

in Las Vegas uncovered dangerous conditions on high school football fields. In response, a celebrity from Las Vegas jumped in to help support student safety."The Jeopardy Champion James Holzhauer happened to see Darcy Spears' article," says Rancho High principal Dr. James Kuzma. "And they became interested in the fact that many of our fields had some issues with safety -- especially Rancho's field -- which you know is being replaced. They were motivated to donate ,000 to our school today!"Dr. Kuzma is thrilled to score the generous gift. "We do the best we can with what we have but we can't do anything without community support," he says.The Holzhauers say they're committed to Las Vegas and want to make a difference."And I saw Darcy's article and it really put a bee in my bonnet," James' wife Melissa explains.Helping young people is the Holzhauers' passion."These are our kids that are suffering these horrible injuries," says James, "...potential brain damage from something that could be so easily prevented."Our story uncovered how the five football fields in CCSD with artificial turf are years beyond the warranty and expected life cycle.It also appears the fields were not properly maintained or safety-tested according to industry protocol. G-Max testing is critical for player health and safety. And proper maintenance protects the taxpayer's investment.Rancho Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Gabrielle Crawford closed the school's football field when tests showed it wasn't safe.Her heart goes out to the team this season. She says they've stuck together, worked hard "...and they're the ones practicing in all that equipment in 115 degrees in the summer and they don't get to use the field," Ms. Crawford says.The Rancho field is slated to be replaced for next season.In the meantime, the Holzhauers say Rancho can use the ,000 wherever it's most needed for athletics.And they challenge others to join in and help out."It's important to remember we have a lot of schools in other areas that need help. So for a call to action," says Melissa. "You don't have to pick Rancho! You can pick Rancho!. But also just any way that people can help to give back. From my understanding talking to [Darcy's producer] and Darcy there are a lot of unsafe fields throughout our community. And lots of ways that people can help.'While the Holzhauers are committed to helping youth, we're committed to accountability.Once again we asked the District for G-Max testing results and maintenance schedules for all five turf fields to try and track how things got so bad. They told us Indian Springs had one G-Max test back in 2008 when the field was installed, but then nothing for any of the schools until this year after Rancho raised alarm bells and forced action. We're also still waiting for details on how much the replacement fields will cost, what company was selected and what the district's plans are for making sure fields are properly tested and maintained.This article was originally written by Jordan Gartner for 3047

got a little more of the wild west than they bargained for.During the annual Ride for the Brand cattle drive downtown, a longhorn cow got loose and charged into the lobby of the Plaza of the Rockies building, scattering crowds and sending onlookers scrambling. One person was actually trapped inside the lobby with the cow for a few stressful moments, before a man rode his horse into the lobby, roped the cow and led it outside onto the street.There have been no immediate reports of injuries from the incident. The cattle drive is an part of the Ride the Brand Ranch Rodeo, which is happening in Colorado Springs this weekend at the Norris Penrose Events Center. 666

has rattled Nassly Sales and her family.The Jersey City mom had ordered two boxes of diapers from Amazon as she does every month for her two daughters, purchasing the items from the site’s “Amazon Warehouse” section, where open-box and returned items are sold at a discounted rate.When the package arrived this week, she said nothing could’ve prepared her for what she says she found inside.“I picked up the diapers and it was a little bit heavy, I was half asleep the lights were off,” she explained. “At that point, I turn on the light and that’s when I noticed these diapers are neatly-folded and they are soiled.The shocking discovery prompted the mom to immediately disinfect her nursery, even wiping down her 19-month-old daughter with rubbing alcohol.The child, a micro preemie, was born 26 weeks premature, weighing a little over a pound, making her immune system compromised. According to Sales, the baby was just inches away from what she believed was a health hazard.Speaking to an Amazon customer service representative later that evening didn’t exactly put the family at ease.“They were like ‘OK sorry for your inconvenience, we will give you a refund. You’re more than welcome to keep the stuff, you don’t need to return it,’” Sid Mukherje, the children’s father, told WPIX.“And my thought was "Wow, you are not understanding what I’m saying.”While the family has not officially sent the substance to be tested, they say it bears a strong resemblance and odor to fecal material.What they want now is a better explanation from Amazon about the mishap.According to their website, the company inspects and certifies all open-box products before re-selling them, something Sales says obviously did not happen.In a statement to WPIX, an Amazon spokesperson said, "We work hard to provide customers with a great experience and deeply regret that this situation did not live up to our high standards. We worked directly with the customer to address this situation.” 1974
