What a great day to celebrate baseball. Today is former MLB player and co-founder of Spaulding Sporting Goods, [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Spalding']Albert Spalding's[/URL] birthday! Albert was born September 2, 1850. He is best known for starting Spalding Sporting Goods with his brother in 1876 and also for playing on (and managing) the Chicago White Stockings. While [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spalding_(sports_equipment)']Spalding[/URL] is more currently notable for their basketballs, they actually are known for standardizing the early baseball too. Who knew?! Here is a great and easy baseball inspired project that will take only minutes. Remember to use a Spalding baseball if you want to get your full celebration on :) My three year old starts t-ball in October, this project will be perfect for us![/I] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff8000]SU News[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [I] [IMG]http://imgick.syracuse.com/home/syr-media/width620/img/orangebasketball_impact/photo/18666911-mmmain.jpg[/IMG] [/I] [B][URL='http://www.nunesmagician.com/2015/9/2/9242309/syracuse-orange-basketball-roster-2015-2016-adrian-autry-belbey']Adrian Autry Jr Among New Walk-Ons, Jersey Numbers Finalized (TNIAAM; Szuba)[/URL][/B] [I][URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/teams/syracuse-orange']Syracuse Orange[/URL] fans knows the name Adrian Autry well and they're going to hear it even more often now that Autry's son will [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2015/09/syracuse_basketball_team_adds_walk-ons_and_includes_one_familiar_name.html#incart_river']walk-on as a freshman[/URL]. Autry's son, also named Adrian, played high school basketball just miles from Syracuse University at Jamesville-DeWitt. Joining Autry are a troika of 5-foot-10 guards; Ky Feldman joins the men's basketball team by way of Agoura Hills, CA with the hope to be a coach one day.

The Royals have the second-best record in baseball (80-51 entering Wednesday's games) and own a 12-game lead in the AL Central. Things are seemingly going as good as can be for the Royals, but a new opponent has popped up that could make their push for another World Series appearance a little bumpier ...chickenpox.
