Excerpt:The New York Mets are a professional baseball team based in the borough of Queens in New York City. The Mets are a member of the East Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The Mets are also often referred to as the "Amazins" by fan and media alike. One of baseball's first expansion teams in 1962, the Mets were a byword for ineptitude until they surprisingly won the 1969 World Series. They have played in a total of four World Series, the most of any MLB expansion team, including a second dramatic win in 1986. In 1957, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants relocated from New York to California, leaving the largest city in the United States with no National League franchises. With the threat of a New York team in a third league, the National League expanded, adding the New York Mets. The new team took as its primary colors the blue of the Dodgers and the orange of the Giants. For the first two years of its existence, the team played its home games at the historic Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan. In 1964, they moved into newly constructed Shea Stadium in Flushing Meadows, Queens, where the Mets stayed through the 2008 season. In 2009, the club moved into Citi Field, located adjacent to the former site of Shea Stadium. During their history, the Mets have won two World Series titles (1969 and 1986), four National League pennants (1969, 1973, 1986, 2000), and five National League East titles (1969, 1973, 1986, 1988, 2006).

Excerpt: As Player As Manager James Henry O'Rourke (September 1, 1850 - January 8, 1919), nicknamed "Orator Jim", was an American professional baseball player in the National Association and Major League Baseball who played primarily as a left fielder. For the period 18761892, he ranks behind only Cap Anson in career major league games played (1644), hits (2146), at-bats (6884), doubles (392) and total bases (2936), and behind only Harry Stovey in runs scored (1370). (Stovey was a younger player. Anson played five seasons and O'Rourke four prior to 1876.) He was born in East Bridgeport, Connecticut. On April 22, 1876, he had the first base hit in National League history. After leaving the major leagues following the 1893 season, he continued to play in the minor leagues until he was over 50 years old. In 1904 he made a final appearance with the New York Giants under manager and friend John McGraw, becoming at age 54 the oldest player ever to appear in the National League, and the oldest player to hit safely in a major league game. He returned to the minors as president of the Connecticut League, and in 1912 returned to the field to catch a complete minor league game at the age of 60. He graduated from Yale Law School (a non-graduate degree at the time), practicing law in Bridgeport between early playing stints, and earning the nickname "Orator Jim" because of his verbosity on the field, his intellect, and his degreeuncommon in a game regarded as a rough immigrant sport at the time. Legend has it that O'Rourke, a child of Irish immigrants, was asked to drop the "O'" from his last name when he signed a contract with Boston and its Protestant backers, b...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=759214 ...

For the major league, which existed from 1882 to 1891, see American Association (19th century) . For the independent league, which started play in 2006, see American Association of Independent Professional Baseball . The American Association was a minor league baseball league at the Triple-A level of baseball in the United States from 1902 to 1962 and 1969 to 1997. Together with the International League , it contested the Junior World Series which determined the championship team in minor league baseball, at least for the eastern half of the United States. Later, its teams would also compete in the Triple-A World Series , and its players in the Triple-A All-Star Game .History For most of the American Association's existence, in both incarnations, it comprised teams primarily from the central part of the United States . The league's attendance base began to be eroded significantly in the 1950s and early 1960s due to expansion and westward migration of major league teams into several of the AA's larger member cities: Milwaukee, Wisconsin ; Kansas City, Missouri ; and Minneapolis-Saint Paul , Minnesota . By 1961, the league was down to six clubs.After the 1962 season, the American Association disbanded, and some of its member teams were distributed between the Pacific Coast League and the International League , while others (the Louisville Colonels and Omaha Dodgers ) folded.

While contemporaries and historians alike hailed the establishment ofBuffalo National Park in Wainwright, Alberta as a wildlife savingeffort, the political climate of the early 20th century worked againstit. The Canadian Parks Branch was never sufficiently funded to operateBNP effectively or to remedy the crises the animals faced as a result.Cross-breeding experiments with bison and domestic cattle provedunfruitful. Attempts at commercializing the herd had no success.Ultimately, the Department of National Defence repurposed the park formilitary training and the bison disappeared once more. ... Read more

Excerpt: B. b. athabascaeB. b. bison The American Bison (Bison bison) is a North American species of bison, also commonly known as the American Buffalo. Some consider the term "buffalo" somewhat of a misnomer for this animal, as it is only distantly related to either of the two "true buffaloes", the Asian Water Buffalo and the African Buffalo. However, "bison" is a Greek word meaning ox-like animal, while "buffalo" originated with the French fur trappers who called these massive beasts , meaning ox or bullock so both names, "bison" and "buffalo," have a similar meaning. In reference to this animal, the term "buffalo," which dates to 1635, has a much longer history than the term "bison," which was first recorded in 1774. The American Bison is more closely related to the Wisent or European Bison. These bison once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds; their range roughly formed a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Two subspecies or ecotypes have been described: the Plains Bison (Bison bison bison), smaller in size and with a more rounded hump, and the Wood Bison (Bison bison athabascae) the larger of the two and having a taller, square hump. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the Plains Bison consists of a northern (Bison bison montanae) and a southern subspecies, bringing the total to three.
