JOHNNY MIZE [SABR Bio] was once replaced by Walter Alston replace. In the final G of his rookie season, 27-Sep-1936, in the top of the 7th, Mize had a difference of opinion with umpire Ziggy Sears about the location of the strike zone and was ejected. Frankie Frisch replaced him at bat. However, at first base in the top of the 8th, Alston replaced Mize at 1st base for the only two innings of his major league playing career. Alston made an error in the field and at bat he struck out for the final out of the Cardinals’ season. Managing was clearly Alston’s strength. Amusing that two thirds of the umpire crew were Ziggy and Quigley… and that Ziggy also tossed Buzzy and Jolly Cholly.
Mize was the only player to lead his league with more than fifty home runs while striking out fewer than fifty times that same season.- 51 HR with just 42 K in 1947. He was the third National Leaguer to hit fifty home runs in a season. Ralph Kiner beat Mize by 2 days for 2nd National Ler to hit 50 in a season. Mize reached that plateau 20-Sep-1947. Kiner had hit his 50th that year on 18-Sep-1947.
Top ten hardest things for me to do: loving and serving God, praying regularly, being a good husband, being a good father, expressing my thoughts clearly, maintaining a house, fixing things, running a half marathon, graduating from Georgia Tech, passing drownproofing class.

Four things emotionally mature people don’t do, by Niklas Goke. Your emotional age can be different from your chronological one. Examples: the annoying boss, the sulking friends, the bitter grandpa. Emotional maturity is about what negative patterns you remove from your life, not how much more you layer on top.
The self-image we build is fragile. It becomes easy for a tiny spark – a critical remark, a friend being late, a project failing – to blow up the whole thing, Emotional maturity is the foundation of solid mental health and happiness, If you handle your emotions well, you can create positivity and meaning from even the worst experiences.
If you feel held back in your emotional growth, chances are you don’t need to cultivate lots of new behaviors and character traits. Instead you just need to give up some of the bad ones you’ve accidentally picked up along the way.
1. Escaping from emotionally challenging situations. Our natural impulse is to run away and hide. This can be useful as long as we return to the problem with a fresh set of eyes or break out of a rut. But running away is a waste of time because eventually life will catch up to us. Emotionally mature people know difficult feeling are just part of life. You can’t always run away. Accept your feelings without surrendering to them.
2. Blaming Others – a way of shielding self-image. Pointing fingers temporarily tempers fear and guilt. But blaming others can become a bad habit. You walk around thinking nothing is ever your fault. We assume we know why people do things, fooling ourselves into believing you understand what’s going on, and fooling ourselves into thinking we had nothing to do with what went wrong.
This takes away the guilt from having screwed up, and thinking you know who’s at fault (right or wrong) numbs your fear of being unable to control or understand the situation. Emotional maturity people understand how little they understand. They don’t let a lack of information hurry them into the wrong conclusion. Emotional maturity is influencing what you can, accepting what you can’t, and making an effort to recognize the difference.
3. Beating Yourself Up. Learning from our own mistakes means thinking about what to change. As opposed to beating themselves up, emotionally mature people simply stop talking.
4. Fighting Battles Not Worth Fighting. Growth doesn’t always come from struggle. Life is hard for everyone. Most fights aren’t worth fighting. You don’t control anyone else’s behavior, feelings, or thoughts. That’s why most arguments are in vain. Don’t assume others hurt you on purpose. Save your breath.

Are our schools responsible for the riots?
Will the suburbs someday soon be a thing of the past?
