		The purpose continues to be in 2000 the same as was in 1925, "An investment in America's Youth." The history of American Legion Baseball has proven that America's youth receive on the baseball diamond a thorough understanding of the true value of sportsmanship, leadership and individual character building.
		In 2000, nearly $17 million was raised by local Legion Posts to sponsor the 5,500 registered American Legion Baseball teams and other athletic teams in their communities.

	Baseball Fever - Bonds and Nicholson
		You might be confusing the alleged 573 ft. blast hit by Dave Nicholson (ironically, also nicknamed "Swish") on May 6, 1964 (since debunked by home run expert Bill Jenkinson), and the reported 618 ft. round-tripper hit by minor league star Roy "Dizzy" Carlyle on July 4, 1929--both Guinness staples.
		Based on my first post, one COULD conclude that Bill Nicholson was as good a home run hitter as Barry Bonds, which is ridiculous, but to a casual fan with limited interest, it might sound good.
		Bill, you say that the 1929 Athletics were over represented.

		Sir Bernard Arthur Owen Williams (September 21, 1929 – June 10, 2003) was an English moral philosopher, noted by The Times as the "most brilliant and most important British moral philosopher of his time." [1] (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,60-712787,00.html)
		Williams' insistence that morality is about people and their real lives, and that self-interest and even selfishness are not contrary to morality, is illustrated in what is called his "internal reasons for action" argument, part of what philosophers call the "internal/external reasons" debate.
		Williams was particularly critical of utilitarianism, a consequentialist theory, the simplest version of which argues that moral acts are good only insofar as they promote the greatest happiness of the greatest number, regardless of any issues of personhood or moral agency.

		These circumstances seem to be one of the reasons that Barnes, whom is basically forgotten, lost his job in 1929, while Sammy West went on to a long career in the big leagues.
		One report speculated that "it is the impression around the club that Barnes' injury affected his batting by forcing him to adopt a different stance." His star had faded, and the once promising young outfield of Goslin, West and Barnes was no more.
		Every spring, Sammy West had to fight to keep his job, but his defensive capability in center field won out each time and he hit well enough to record a.299 career average for three American League teams, primarily in the 1930s.
