The New York Yankees clinched their 13th consecutive playoff appearance on Wednesday. What was once considered a disastrous season, has turned into one of the most incredible runs in baseball history, prompting teary eyed manager Joe Torre to say, “There were a lot of guys who played through some injuries, played through some fatigue. And, of course, Alex — we sort of rallied around him.” Alex, as in A-Rod, as in Alex Rodriguez, as in one of the greatest baseball players of all time. No player this year has answered his critics in a better way and the Yankees are in the playoffs because of it. With the Yankees going into the playoffs on fire, Yankees tickets will be a hot ticket.

New baseball clinic for young athletes Many things are important to baseball and softball players, like fun, improving techniques, and honing skills. All young athletes from the age of five to sixteen now have a nice chance to sharpen their hitting, pitching, and throwing skills, while having fun at the baseball and softball clinic of Quesnel Minor Baseball Association. Lori Durocher, Quesnel Minor Baseball Association director said that he wanted to give the program a jump start as he hadn?t seen a baseball clinic in Quesnel for several number of years. In fact, this is the first clinic in about ten years in the Quesnel community. Organizers made the clinic happen very quickly. They heard baseball and softball instructors Craig Horswell, Jim Murphy, Jason Cook, Evan Potskin, and Derek Goodline were in the area and did everything possible to arrange it. The instructors will do their best to identify players who will be
able to compete at higher levels and give them exposure with university and college teams. The morning session will focus on defense and instruction and the afternoon session will focus mainly on offence. All athletes will receive information about proper nutrition and training techniques to excel in sports. The baseball clinic will give athletes a wonderful opportunity to gain experience. Lori Durocher stated that they wanted to make it happen
and make it an annual event to train young baseball players and coaches for the future. They also hope that parents and coaches will learn some of the techniques for playing and teaching young athletes and probably take coaching clinics in the future.

Jim Palmer, legendary MLB Hall-of-Famer and former Baltimore Orioles pitcher, has teamed up for the second time with Merck/Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals and Minor League Baseball for a special program. Entitled Strike Out High Cholesterol, this national cholesterol-education program helps lower LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) levels. The program will tour ten Minor League baseball parks across the united States during the baseball season this summer in order to raise awareness about high cholesterol levels and its two major sources, food and family. Over
50 percent of all adults in the US have high cholesterol level, and Jim Palmer is no exception. High cholesterol can contribute to a higher risk of heart disease, if left untreated. It is the single leading cause of death in America. As a former athlete, Palmer has always done his best to lead a healthy lifestyle, but he is still struggling to control his high LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. Many of us are still unaware of the fact that cholesterol comes from two main sources: our food and family. Virtually, about 75 percent of cholesterol is produced naturally in our bodies, generally
based our family health history. The remaining 25 percent of cholesterol comes from our diet. Jim Palmer confessed that he was thrilled to be a part of Strike Out High Cholesterol program. It allows him to educate people about the importance of understanding the major sources of high cholesterol level and knowing our family health history. He also said that the program hit very close to home for him as he was adopted and did not have the \
privilege of knowing his biological family’s health history.
