Remembering The Babe: The Face Of America

BY JOE SCOTCHIE JSCOTCHIE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

“A

Great Man. A Great Ball Player. A Great American.”

So reads the modest, yet succinct plaque to George Herman (“Babe”) Ruth at Yankee Stadium’s legendary Monuments Park.

Who can deny it? From 1921 until his death in 1948, Babe Ruth was America. When Americans saw Ruth, they saw themselves: Kind, generous, fun-loving, boisterous and supremely confident. Ruth never took himself too seriously and neither did America in those innocent, pre-Pearl Harbor days.

Ruth was not always considered the greatest player in baseball history.

That honor, from the 1920s onward, went to his great rival, Ty Cobb.

In 1936, when the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown had its first official ceremony, it was Cobb, not Ruth, who was the first man inducted. But momentum eventually swung around to Ruth’s side. Only consider Ruth the total ballplayer: He revolutionized baseball with his prodigious home run totals, but he also hit for average.

In Ruth’s day, which was still Cobb’s era, a ballplayer was judged by his batting average and what we could call his on-base percentage. Ruth did that, too. Not surprisingly, he drew more than 2,000 walks in his career, but he also hit for average. In 1923, Ruth slugged 41 home runs; he also batted .393. Even the exacting Cobb had to now admit that this Ruth fellow had something going for him. Ruth ended his career with 714 home runs, a number once as well known to every American boy as George Washington’s farewell address. His lifetime batting average was a superlative .342.

That was only part of the Ruth legend. The Babe came up as a pitcher. Had he stayed at that position, he would have made the Hall of Fame on his hurling prowess alone. While playing for the minor league Baltimore Orioles, the young Ruth was signed by the Boston Red Sox. This young and often temperamental lefty promptly pitched the Bosox to World Series wins in 1916 and 1918, compiling an 89 and 46 record in six solid years on the hill. By then, the World Series was

the biggest sporting event in America.

As a Yankee, Ruth would dominate, but before that, he made history in the Fall Classic as a southpaw demon, hurling 29 scoreless innings in World Series play. That record stood for 43 years, until Whitey Ford, the ace Yankee lefthander, broke the mark in the 1961 World Series.

During his pitching career, Ruth also built a reputation as a star slugger.

Pitchers aren’t supposed to hit for average, and so Ruth, as Cobb sagely observed, had the luxury of experimenting at the plate. With a swing he copied from Chicago White Sox slugger “Shoeless Joe” Jackson, Ruth experimented in lifting the ball into the air: Home runs and not necessarily line drive hits would be the focus of the young slugger’s offensive onslaught. It began to pay off: In 1918, Ruth hit 11 home runs while pitching full time; the next year, he hit 29—a league record. Something new was brewing in the game.

In the midst of all this, history came calling. The Red Sox owner, Harry Frazee, had a bust on Broadway with the failed play, No, No, Nanette. To compensate, Frazee sold Ruth to the New York Yankees for $100,000.

The man and the moment had met.

It was 1920. World War I was over.

The Roaring ‘20s were set to boom.

New York was now the financial and entertainment capital of the world.

With mass circulation newspapers and magazines, plus radio and movies, the Age of Celebrity was being born.

20180810_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:40August 6, 2018

And who better to fit the bill than this uncouth, but fun-loving manchild?

Ruth promptly celebrated his arrival in New York with a jaw-dropping 54 home runs. In 1921, he hit 59. In the next 14 years, the Yankees, led by Ruth and the incomparable Lou Gehrig, would win seven pennants and four World Series titles.

Ruth seemed superhuman, but he was, in fact, a fiercely competitive man.

As with other players of his day, he didn’t lift weights (they would cause sprained muscles), but he played hard.

“I swing big, with everything I’ve got,” he once told a sportswriter. “I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.”

The Babe had a gun for an arm. He ran the bases with abandon, his burly frame breaking up double plays and barreling over catchers at home plate.

The Babe swung so hard that he occasionally lost balance and fell flat on his face after a particularly hefty cut. And there was his flair for the dramatic, something common to all greats.

The titans of our times—Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Mark Messier, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird—had it, too, but with The Babe it always coincided with an historic event.

When Yankee Stadium opened in April 1923, Ruth christened the event with a game-winning home run. Ten years later, in 1933, the first All-Star game was held in Chicago. A now-aging Ruth welcomed in that annual classic with another game-winning blast. A year earlier, in 1932, saw Ruth’s most famous home run, the “called shot” in that year’s World Series against Chicago Cub hurler, Charlie Root. Was The Babe, with his hand motions, signaling two-strikes (the count on him at the time) to the bench jockeys on the Cubs or was he calling a home run? The latter legend has happily won out. Finally, in 1927, Ruth came into the last day of the regular season with 59 home runs. You can guess the rest.

That day, The Babe parked a fastball

by Red Sox pitcher Tom Zachary into the right field bleachers for home run number 60. The world had not seen anything like it. “O Babe! O Socko!” sang the next day’s New York Times headline. Leave it to Babe Ruth to inspire The Gray Old Lady to kick up her heels a little.

BIOGRAPHY

Bringing Up Bambino

BY JOE SCOTCHIE JSCOTCHIE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

B

abe Ruth was born on Feb. 6, 1895, in Baltimore, MD. His father was a successful salon proprietor, but the young George proved too much a ruffian for his parents to handle. He often missed school while roaming the streets and docks of Baltimore with his juvenile delinquent friends. Ruth’s overwhelmed parents sent him to St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys. That was the turning point in the young man’s life.

The tough Xaverians at St. Mary’s had a talent for whipping young hoodlums into shape. Ruth was no exception. At St. Mary’s, Ruth was

‘‘

tutored in and out of the classroom by the imposing Brother Matthias.

The tough, old priest taught Ruth to both love schoolwork and the reigning American pastime. Even as a world famous athlete, Ruth continued to revere Brother Matthias, whom he saw as a sort of father figure, hailing him as “the greatest man I’ve ever known.”

Ruth’s life story is all glory and legend. Still, the man met —Babe Ruth a sad ending.

After retiring in 1935, Ruth wanted nothing more than to manage his beloved Yankees. He would listen to Yankee games on the radio in his Riverside Drive apartment, calling out moves he would make if he were indeed managing. Rumors circulated that a

despairing Ruth, more than once, had to be reined in from the ledge of the apartment building. Jacob Ruppert, a typically gruff owner, thought Ruth’s managing dream was a joke. “He can’t manage himself,” Ruppert reportedly remarked. “How can he manage the Yankees?” Ruppert was wrong.

By the 1930s, The Babe had settled down. His first marriage didn’t work. As a young star for the Red Sox, Ruth courted and married a South Boston waitress. After only a few weeks of dating, Ruth blurted out to Helen Woolford, “Hon’ how about you and me getting married?”

Next came New York and fame and Ruth’s numerous infidelities.

Back in Boston, Helen attempted suicide before moving in with a local dentist, where, tragically, she perished in a Jan. 11, 1929, house fire.

Ruth’s second marriage to Claire Hodgson, a Broadway chorus girl, was more successful. Ruth had a daughter by his first marriage as did his second wife from her own first union. Ruth was now a faithful husband and a doting father. The Yankees did offer him a job managing their prime farm club in Newark, but The Babe turned

it down. He probably should have accepted though, gaining a year or two of seasoning before managing the Yankees.

Ruth’s retirement years weren’t a waste. He remained as active as ever, often driving his roadster from the Upper West Side to St. Albans, Queens, for a round of golf. He participated in Old Timers Days and reigned as the most beloved man in America.

In 1942, Samuel Goldwyn released The Pride of the Yankees, the Academy Award-winning film on the life of Lou Gehrig. It was quickly agreed: Only Ruth could play Ruth. The Babe promptly lost 40 pounds for the role and was back to his jovial self. In one scene, Ruth barges into the Yankees locker room, decked out in a camel jacket and a Ben Hogan golf cap, while scarfing down a ham sandwich. “Hey, Babe,” a sportswriter called out. “Was that your 37th or 38th home run yesterday?” “I don’t know,” The Babe replied. “I’ll hit ‘em and you count ‘em!” Everyone roared with laughter.

For one magic moment, Babe Ruth was himself again.

MOVIES

On Film

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

M

ovies have a way of elevating mere mortals to legendary status—but what happens when filmmakers try to portray someone whose persona is already larger than life even before they get on the big screen?

Babe Ruth was all that and more.

While he was alive, he enjoyed nicknames that presented him as “king,” “colossus” and “sultan.” And after he died, the legends merely grew, to the point where his name today is synonymous with baseball—and cultural—immortality. But even with

the difficulty of wrangling his big personality on film, many attempts have been made, to varying degrees of success.

Perhaps the most successful portrayals of Ruth came when the slugger played himself in Pride of the Yankees, a 1942 film chronicling the heroic decline and premature death of Lou Gehrig, who was played by Gary Cooper. Ruth had packed on the pounds post-retirement, as would be expected for a man with as voracious an appetite as Ruth. But in order to look as svelte as possible standing next to Cooper on film, Ruth swung for the fences and shed close to 50 pounds for the role.

Beyond that, Ruth on film has been a less-than-stellar endeavor.

The schmaltzy and heavy-handed The Babe Ruth Story (1948) was roundly panned by critics and is widely considered to be one of the worst films of all time. William Bendix starred as Ruth, depicting the Colossus of Clout as a dimwitted oaf with the sensibility of a child. There is a curious lack of baseball action in the film, with far too much time spent on scenes like Babe taking a little boy’s dog to the vet, playing Santa Claus at a children’s hospital and promising a dying child to hit a home run in his next game—and after he does just that, the boy begins to make a miraculous recovery.

The movie was rushed through production, as news spread that the actual Babe Ruth was in grave health. The film ends with Bendix’s Ruth being taken into surgery and a narrator crediting him with America’s love of baseball. The real Ruth would die mere weeks after the film’s release.

Two more attempts at telling Ruth’s story came in the 1990s. First, the television movie Babe Ruth premiered on NBC in 1991, with actor Stephen Lang in the title role. The reviews for

20180810_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:40August 6, 2018

the small-screen tale mostly applaud the film if only for it not being as bad as The Babe Ruth Story. It does delve into the darker portions of Ruth’s life, with the off-field swagger, womanizing antics and boorish boozing being touched upon. But it is hard to overlook Lang’s prosthetic nose.

The next big screen Bambino came in the form of 1992’s The Babe starring a cigar-chomping John Goodman, who was somehow too rotund to play the mountainous Ruth.

The film received mixed reviews, with Goodman himself reportedly being disappointed in his own performance, but the real fault lies with the stilted writing and oblivious direction. Goodman does his best with the material, especially for the less heroic moments of Ruth’s life. For baseball fanatics, the production took far too many liberties with Ruth’s story, fabricating moments for dramatic effect and getting entire settings flat-out wrong.

Perhaps the best “Babe Ruth movie” is the one that doesn’t feature Ruth as the central figure. The Sandlot (1993) tells the story of a group of baseball-obsessed boys during the summer of 1962.

BOOKS

The Book On Babe Authors take a swing at telling Ruth’s tale

BY STEVE MOSCO

B

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

abe Ruth’s life is rich with myths, fables and anecdotes that range from very real to incredibly ridiculous. With stories crossing over from baseball-focused to a more cultural significance, it is no wonder there are more than a few books written about American legend.

Here are a few written works to get the Ruth fan started.

The Babe Ruth Story (1948)

By Bob Considine Another book that celebrates the myth more than the man, The Babe Ruth Story is a great collector’s item for the die hard Ruth/Yankee fan. Currently out of print, but available in some circles (if you’re willing to spend the money), it’s got plenty of photos and tall tales of Ruth’s greatest days on the baseball diamond.

The House That Ruth Built: A New Stadium, the First Yankees Championship, and the Redemption of 1923 (2011)

By Robert Weintraub

Babe: The Legend Comes to Life (1974)

By Robert W. Creamer In what Time magazine called “The first really adult biography of the Babe, as well as one of the best, and least sentimental, books about a great sports figure ever written,” Creamer’s book is a no-holds-barred biography about the Sultan of Swat. The book also does plenty of hard-lifting in examining baseball itself in terms of what it means to American culture and the state of the world in which Ruth thrived. Creamer clearly is a student of the game, showing much more than merely a passing knowledge of the sport. He even appeared in the Ken Burns sprawling 1994 documentary, Baseball, where he spoke about, as a young boy, witnessing Ruth sock home runs in person.

The Big Bam (2007)

By Leigh Montville From the awardwinning author of the New York Times bestseller Ted Williams comes this original, ambitious and colorful biography of the Ruth gargantuan legend.

Ruth loomed large in baseball—and in sports in general—and this book illustrates that. Based on newly discovered documents and interviews, including pages from Ruth’s personal scrapbooks, this book traces Ruth’s life from his bleak childhood in Baltimore to his brash entrance into professional baseball, from Boston to New York and into the record books as the world’s most explosive slugger and cultural luminary.

Babe Ruth As I Knew Him (1948)

By Waite Hoyt This mainly boils down to a tribute publication published shortly after Babe Ruth’s death in 1948. It was written by Ruth’s teammate and friend, Waite Hoyt, and is presented as the “intimate story of Ruth’s fabulous career,” and includes many photographs from throughout the Babe’s career. More desired for its appeal as a collectible rather than a treasure trove of Ruth information, the book is scarce on the public market and fetches a hefty price tag.

Playing The Game: My Early Years In Baseball (2011)

By Babe Ruth, William R. Cobb, Paul Dickson This collection of a series of 12 articles written by Ruth (with a ghostwriter, probably) for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, features Ruth reminiscing about his rough childhood and his life as he entered the big leagues. It also features his commentary on the 1920 season, pennant race and World Series.

For a long time these musing were only available to history buffs, but this book brings it all together in a neat package for baseball fans. There are also 30 historic photos, with an introduction by sports historian Paul Dickson.

Sports columnist Robert Weintraub examines the 1923 Yankees, the team that opened the new Yankees Stadium and won the first of the Bronx Bombers’ record 27 World Series titles.

In its review of the book, Publisher’s Weekly said, “The book is comprehensive, and Weintraub details everything from the construction of the stadium and the careers of Ruth and [John] McGraw [New York Giants manager] to a detailed season overview and deconstruction of the 1923 World Series.” Publisher’s Weekly also stated that “The stories about Ruth and McGraw hold the narrative together, but it is the asides of forgotten personalities like Mose “The Rabbi of Swat” Solomon, Russ “Pep” Youngs, and Yankees co-owner Cap Huston that create a much-needed undercurrent of character and humor.”

Gehrig & The Babe: The Friendship and the Feud (2018)

By Tony Castro Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth were both legends of baseball, but also very different men. This book details the pair’s relationship as teammates, but goes far beyond that with stories about them away from the game and how a feud tore them apart until Lou Gehrig Day at Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939. ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap said of the book, “Tony Castro’s new book is Gehrig & The Babe: The Friendship and The Feud, the ultimate teammates—Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Murderers Row—fascinating story told in full really for the first time, 70-plus years after their death.”

Plié, tendu, bourrée and arabesque are some of the lovely phonetic words from the dictionary of ballet, a beautifully stunning art form in which emotions are expressed through the movement of dance. But one does not simply dance a pas de deux right out of the gate. Nicola Ciotta believes that to be properly trained in ballet, it must begin at an early age, which is why she started Baby Ballet Long Island. The founder and mom of her own little ballerina has been holding Mommy and Me ballet classes across Long Island, and the reception has been astounding.

“I studied at the Northern Ballet School in England on a full-time course from the age of 16 to 19,” said Ciotta, who graduated with a teaching certification with the Royal Academy of Dance and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, which are world-recognized teaching qualifications in the dance world.

“I danced professionally for seven years all over the world in different companies. I met my now-husband, John, along the way—he’s a Long Island boy—and we settled here with our baby daughter Rose.”

When Rose began to walk, Ciotta started looking for a Mommy and Me ballet class to do with her daughter, as she showed an interest in dance.

Unable to find a specific class that offered what she wanted, Ciotta started her own with a group of local children, establishing a Facebook page and renting out a small room in Coram.

“We had about six children that came and I did it purely so Rose and I could do a class together.

Word got out and we grew and grew and now it’s a full-time job for me,” said Ciotta of the creation of Baby Ballet Long Island. “Now we have around 300 little ballerinas a week.

We take from walking age when they’re steady on their feet, about 18 months to 4 years old.”

To find space for her blossoming business, Ciotta reached out to recreation centers and community play spaces, asking for an empty room and a plug socket, if possible. Everything else in terms of props and music, she brings with her and has been doing so for the past three years.

“We teach seven days a week as far east as West Islip and as far west as Lawrence and we are continuing to grow,” said Ciotta, adding that she differs from a traditional dance studio in many ways. “How I founded Baby Ballet is short sessions, no uniforms, no recitals and it’s super affordable and something everyone can do.”

Nicola Ciotta teaches ballet to young ballerinas across Long Island.

(18 months to 2 ½) or the advanced toddler class (2 ½ to 4 years old), which runs from September to December, January to March and April to June, even though tiny dancers tend to stay for the whole year. Baby Ballet also offers a fourweek long summer workshop series in which children are introduced to the classical ballets of Swan Lake, Don Quixote, Sleeping Beauty and A Midsummer Night’s Dream through costume and music. There is also a very popular Nutcracker workshop around Christmas time as well.

The earliest class begins at 9:30 a.m. and the latest class is at 5 p.m., which is perfect for working parents.

Classes are 30 minutes long and from the warm-up to the curtsey at the end, Ciotta has her ballerinas learning more than just basic footwork.

“We do ‘good toes,’ which teaches them to point their toes and we use a lot of props,” said Ciotta of helping children learn through visualization.

“Although to them it doesn’t feel like they’re learning, I am sneakily teaching them things like popping bubbles with one gentle finger to help them use their fingers independently; rocking babies, which helps them lean to transfer weight from one foot to the other and we dance with scarves to get a nice flowing of the arms.”

A firm believer that ballet is an excellent discipline, Ciotta believes that her ballet training helped her in other avenues throughout her career, especially when going on interviews; she was always poised and well-presented. The same holds true for her dance students as well.

“A lot of the children come in and they’re very shy but by the end of the 10 weeks their confidence is boosted and they talk with other children. I like to say I teach it right, right from the start, so even though they’re toddlers, there’s no reason for them to not be doing it properly,” she said. “I love this age group; they keep me on my toes and I feel like I’ve given them a good foundation to go on to a dance studio. My heart is really in this and everybody enjoys it so much.”

With parents’ word of mouth as her biggest advertisement, Ciotta sees how much not only the children enjoy Baby Ballet, but the parents as well.

“It’s great bonding, to have that time and those memories with your child at that early age. You’ll be surprised what a 2-year-old can learn,” said Ciotta. “Introducing them to the world of ballet, it’s my love and I want to pass that onto them.”

Sophie B. Hawkins: An Artist For All Seasons

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderuBio@antonmediagroup.com

I

t would be easy to refer to Sophie B. Hawkins as a musician who had some major-label success in the 1990s. While a falling out with Columbia Records over the direction of 1999’s Timbre led to Hawkins striking out on an independent music path, the Manhattan native has always embraced a more far-reaching approach to her craft. She starred as Janis Joplin in the 2012 play Room 105, has been painting on the side and found her first muse in the writings of Virginia Woolf.

Hawkins’ musical odyssey also had an unorthodox start when as a teen, she decided to study African drumming and wound up under the tutelage of the late and great Nigerian percussionist Babatunde Olatunji. Having played a show in Rhode Island, Hawkins was driving up to Maine to visit her son in camp along with her 3-year-old daughter. This self-awareness of being an artist was something she understood early on.

“When I was 14 and I was learning African drums, I was also reading Virginia Woolf in Riverside Park. I remember reading Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse, eating

sticky buns and getting to the end and reading a passage over and over again.

It’s a scene where the father goes down the hall and he reaches for his wife and she’s dead. It moved me so much that I said to myself that I was going to be an artist and a writer,” she recalled.

“I never knew that I was going to be a songwriter. I knew that music was a way to something and I never felt like I was going to be a great musician, but I just had to reach for it. I always felt like I was a writer and that’s when I decided that I wanted to become an artist.”

Hawkins’ early success included a 1992 debut (Tongues and Tales) that yielded a Top 5 hit (“Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover”) and an invitation to play a Madison Square Garden concert as part of 1992’s 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration honoring Bob Dylan’s 30 years of recording music. After the fall-out with Sony/ Columbia Records, the eclectic singer-song-

writer continued to forge her own path, releasing a total of five more albums, with the last being 2012’s The Crossing.

And while the recording process has been cut back significantly, she’s been a constant presence on the road, where she’ll play a few dates on Long Island regularly. It’s no accident, given her love of the area, dating back to when she and her family would trek out to Sag Harbor, long before it became a trendy thing to do.

“My family went [to the East End] every summer, Christmas, Easter and holidays from Manhattan. It wasn’t cool, chi-chi or expensive. It was what I loved so much,” she recalled.

“It’s almost gotten too hard to go to because it’s gotten so crowded. I do go to Westhampton with my kids because it’s the uncrowded Hampton and it’s pretty basic still. I’ve maintained my love and commitment to Long Island so much so that I want to have my kids live on Long Island for as much of the year as they can.”

With the current collapse of the traditional music industry model, Hawkins is at a crossroads when it comes to releasing new music. Between streaming services that virtually pay nothing in royalties while catering to a generation that’s either unwilling or uninterested in paying for music, Hawkins has an entire album in the can ready to put out, with no clear idea of how to do it and still support her family. And while she’s spent the past couple of

years focusing on an original theatrical work she’s dubbed Playsical, she’s decided to consolidate and relaunch her creative platform, with emphasis placed on the new material. While she is still pondering it, one idea is focusing on her November City Winery gig in which members of her die hard fan base are recognized for their devotion to Hawkins over the years. It’s that loyalty that is not only important to the single mother of two, but part of what helps drive her.

“The part of me that is a songwriter is so profoundly healing and deep to me. It’s really the teacher—the person that heals and teaches me. And that’s why it reaches other people when it does. You have to rebuild so that you’re really connected with the fans in a way that you know that you can maintain.

Not the BS of hiring people to do it for me and then dropping off,” she said. “I’ve been playing the new songs live and people respond to the new songs amazingly. Also, what’s been happening is that I’ve been getting new people to the shows and I don’t know exactly how. But there’s been people that love the new songs. And I’ve been doing solo shows, obviously to survive, because you can’t afford to pay musicians. But that’s not the Sophie that people knew before. I was like a rock star, but now I go up there alone, play these songs and it’s really fulfilling.”

Sophie B. Hawkins will be appearing on Aug. 9 at My Father’s Place at the Roslyn Hotel, 1221 Old Northern Blvd., Roslyn. For more information, visit www.myfathersplace.com or call 516-625-2700.

BOOK FEATURE

A Lesson In Judaism

New book depicts the history of synagogues on Long Island

BY MYLES GOLDMAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Ira Poliakoff, a native of Rockville Centre, may not reside in Long Island, but his knowledge of Judaism does.

“I’ve always been interested in this particular subject [Jewish history] and I decided to take a shot at it,” Poliakoff said.

Poliakoff was taking a walk with his granddaughter in downtown Philadelphia when he came up with the idea to write Synagogues of Long Island.

“One day I was walking near Independence Hall with my granddaughter. We passed what looked like a condominium, but there were Jewish markings in the brickwork on the building; there was a Jewish star and all different markings,” he said.

“My granddaughter asked me, ‘why are there Jewish markings on this apartment house?’ I had to explain to her it was an old synagogue but was repurposed into a condo building. So, the reason I wrote the book was for her generation and the future generations so when they pass by these old buildings that are no longer synagogues, whether it be on Long Island or anywhere, they’ll know the answer.”

The process for writing Synagogues of Long Island took Poliakoff two years and a lot of traveling since he lives in Philadelphia. While traveling, he got to see some beautiful synagogues, but some stood out more than the rest.

“I came to Long Island to interview people, but fortunately, a portion of the photographs in the book were either taken by friends of mine or I was given permission from archives to use their photographs,” Poliakoff said. “There are a few that stand out in my mind like Temple Beth El of Cedarhurst and

Temple Emanu-El of East Meadow, which recently closed. That’s a very interesting building [Temple EmanuEl], the Western Wall of the sanctuary is made up of tiny glass windows that looked like the Lite-Brite child’s toy because it was made up of thousands of little red, white and blue windows so that’s a great architectural piece.”

As for the book, chapter length ranges from only one page to numerous, depending on the locations of the synagogues due to the Jewish population in that city. Even though some are no longer congregations, Poliakoff still honored those synagogues.

Baldwin Jewish Center, according to Poliakoff’s book, was the first synagogue in Baldwin but closed their doors in 2010 after being sold to the Christian Worship Center. Fortunately, in 2014, Baldwin was able to merge with South Baldwin Jewish Center.

Poliakoff also provides certain details about some synagogues that offer special services. The Chai Center of Dix Hills offers special service

activities and education for adults and children with special needs. Chabad of Brookville also offers more than just daily services; the Chabad also hosts Chabad Woman’s Circle.

While Synagogues of Long Island is about the history of synagogues, Poliakoff wants the readers to learn

about Jewish history as a whole.

“They can see the history of Jewish on Long Island through the eyes of more than 250 synagogues that either existed or do exist in Nassau and Suffolk County,” Poliakoff said.

Even though Poliakoff hasn’t lived on Long Island in many years, he still loves it and was able to educate many people about Jewish history from the palpable part of Judaism. Poliakoff has two more books in the works; one of them is about the synagogues of Philadelphia and the other looks at conservative Judaism.

The Summer Of Discontent As we are about to hit the midpoint of the summer we are faced with two climates. Overall, the summer has been favorable for vacations, camp visits, daily outings and tourist events.

The sun has shone frequently and the little bit of rain has been welcome. The disturbing aspect of the summer is that it seems that there is just too much negativism wherever we look and every day feels like a trip to the dentist.

Since the time of John F. Kennedy right up to the present, American politics has been a series of ups and downs. In most cases, we would hear from our presidents on a weekly and sometimes monthly basis, but there were no daily assaults on our senses.

I remember countless summers when a president would go off to New England, Texas, California or the Hamptons, for the month of August and leave us alone.

For some unexplained reason President Donald Trump turns each day into a head-pounding event. It’s hard to escape the constant tweeting that the media magnifies by calling it a “breaking news.” Simple dinners with friends have become boxing matches with each side insisting that they are right. I know the country is polarized

but it does not have to invade our summer escapes.

Many of us turn to sports to get away from the political buzz saw.

Yankee fans have had a lot of good news and bad news but mostly good news. New York Mets fans have had nothing but grief as once again their team has hit rock bottom, after starting off their season on a high note. Injuries have plagued the team and are partially responsible for their woes. But the deeper one looks, the more it appears that the Mets are ready for a wholesale revamping starting at the top. New owners would invest serious money into the team and make the players feel like it’s fun to come to work each day.

Long Island Rail Road commuters have once again been tortured with

delays, cancellations and last minute dramas. The LIRR has new leadership but the system has never been given the funding it deserves and the people who need the train to get to work are the victims of the MTA’s sloppy management. Taking a train to work shouldn’t be an adventure.

William Shakespeare coined the expression “the winter of our discontent” in Richard III. Perhaps

the best way to describe the past few months is to call them the “summer of discontent,” which is historically followed by better times. Hopefully, September will mark the beginning of some positive changes, as we sure could use it.

doesn’t have to be synonymous with deprivation.

In fact, a nutritious diet is full of abundance. Instead of focusing on subtracting foods or negative habits, it’s important to think about what habits we can add in to our daily routine to create a healthy lifestyle.

Drinking more water, eating more fiber, and incorporating more herbs and spices are simple adjustments we can make to live a more nutritious life. Since herbs and spices have so much flavor, they allow us to cut back on ingredients like salt, sugar and fat.

Plus, many spices in particular carry benefits.

Believe it or not, inflammation is an essential part of human survival. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to protect itself from injury or infection. Acute inflammation can be a good thing by helping the body defend itself and repair. If this inflammation becomes prolonged and

there is a failure to eliminate whatever caused it, chronic inflammation can be the end result.

Chronic inflammation can last for months to years, and can be exacerbated by lifestyle habits like obesity, smoking and sedentary living. A diet high in refined carbohydrates, sugars, fried foods and red meat are known to promote inflammation in the body. This is why a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods and spices is crucial to promoting longevity and reducing disease.

The anti-inflammatory diet focuses on healthy, antioxidant-rich, whole foods.

Specific foods known to reduce the risk of inflammation include olive oil, tomatoes, almonds, dark green leafy vegetables, fresh fish and fruits such as berries. There are several spices that can also provide anti-inflammatory benefits and add flavor to any healthy dish. Here are a few of my favorites:

Spice Up Your Life

tissues and organs from oxidative damage. Try adding fresh ginger to smoothies, or add a few slices to your tea.

Curcumin is a special component of turmeric that is known for its inflammation-fighting powers. There is evidence that curcumin can inhibit tumor initiation, promotion and invasion.

Many people are intimidated by turmeric, but its mild flavor pairs well with many dishes.

Try turmeric in a brown rice pilaf, or add to roasted vegetables. You can also sprinkle some in scrambled eggs.

Cinnamon

Cinnamaldehyde, a compound in cinnamon, is suggested to have anti-inflammatory effects in the body.

Saigon cinnamon specifically is known for its spicy taste and beautiful aroma. Cinnamon offers a flavor boost in both hot and cold dishes. Add to oatmeal or simply sprinkle on a freshly cut apple for a tasty treat.

Cayenne

The active ingredient in cayenne is called capsaicin, and it is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Always remember to start with a small amount and gradually increase when cooking with cayenne.

Try adding a pinch of cayenne to summer marinades and rubs for a spicy kick.

Use these spices in their food form and really let the flavors shine. Anti-inflammatory herbs and spices can make for a great addition to any main course or side dish.

ost people know that when you look for a house, you want a place with “good bones.� In other words, if the structure of the home is in good shape, most people feel they can fix up the rest. If a home doesn’t have good bones, the rest of it doesn’t matter.

The same can be said of your body. If you don’t take care of your bones, the rest of your body will quickly fall into disrepair.

Taking care of your bones doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, but that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked.

Just a little moderate exercise and eating some of the right food and drinks is all that is required.

mong the most common epidemics in the United States is sleep deprivation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of US adults report that they get less than the recommended amount of sleep.

And, women are more likely to report poor sleep than men.

While difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep can make anyone feel groggy, forgetful, or even cranky, there are other, more serious health risks. Not getting enough sleep has been linked to many chronic diseases and conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, obesity and depression. It also increases the risk for motor vehicle crashes, injuries and workplace mishaps.

The idea that sleep is a luxury is a fallacy. Rather, it’s essential for good health.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, the majority of adults require seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Yet, in a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) survey, more than one-third of adults reported less than seven hours of sleep during a typical 24-hour

Mood and cognitive abilities are hindered by even a single night of poor quality sleep. You may feel cranky, sad or foggy.

And, chronic sleep deprivation is linked to higher rates of anxiety and depression. Memory suffers, as does your ability to concentrate. This goes handin-hand with one of the most

serious, sleep-related health risks—accidents. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that more than 1,550 deaths and 40,000 injuries each year in the United States are related to driver fatigue.

Although the cognitive and emotional effects of sleep deprivation are obvious, the metabolic and physiological impact builds over time, putting you at a higher risk for developing a range of chronic health conditions, including

obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.

“Sleep is essential. It’s not optional,” said Dr. Penny Stern, director of Preventive Medicine at Northwell Health.

“We all need to view sleep as a vital component of good health. It shouldn’t be considered slothful or wasting time.”

Often, simple lifestyle changes can dramatically improve sleep quality, which include: cutting down or eliminating caffeine; keeping the bedroom cool, quiet and

dark; maintaining a consistent sleep schedule; avoiding daytime napping; exercising on a regular basis; sleeping on comfortable, quality bedding (natural fibers are best); turning off electronic devices and TV at least one hour before bedtime and establishing a relaxing bedtime ritual that helps prepare you for sleep.

If you are experiencing sleep difficulties, it’s important to speak with your doctor.

In some cases, prescription medications or the timing of medications can impact sleep.

A sleep evaluation may be recommended to determine the cause of the problem. Once a diagnosis is made, treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy or the use of a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine if sleep apnea is a factor.

Learn more about strategies and treatments for sleep disturbances by visiting www. northwell.edu/KIWH or call the Katz Institute for Women’s Health Resource Center at 855-850-5494 to speak to a women’s health specialist.

Eco-friendly Pesticides Neem

Courtesy of the tree that bares its nae, neem oils are a powerful insecticide when mixed with water and soap. For every gallon of water, add 2 tablespoons of neem oil and a tablespoon of organic liquid soap, and spray on plants. The mixture must be used immediately, and should not be stored.

With the start of gardening season comes the start of the seemingly endless battle with pest control.

While options like using chemical pesticides or hiring an exterminator can be tempting, they can be harmful to the environment and dangerous for children and pets.

A practical alternative to harsh chemicals is organic pesticides, many of which you can make at home. There are also physical barriers that can be used to prevent pests from making contact with plants. These techniques tend to be cheaper and safer than typical methods of pest control.

At home insecticide

A simple insecticide that can be made at home is a mixture of about 5 tablespoons of all natural liquid soap to every gallon of clean water. Spray

on the top and bottom of plant leaves and it will kill soft-bodied insects that come in contact with the plants while wet. Other ingredients can be added to target specific problems, such as adding a teaspoon of garlic or red pepper to get rid of chewing insects, or apple cider vinegar if powdery mildew is a problem.

Diatomaceous earth

Also known as DE, diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that is effective in ridding gardens and houses of insects. Sprinkling it at the base of plants and surrounding areas, or mixing 4 tablespoons of DE with a gallon of water and spraying it onto plants are both effective methods of use. DE can be found for purchase online or in your local home improvement store.

Floating row covers are lightweight fabrics, usually made out of a clear plastic or polyester. These covers are laid over plants and anchored to the ground with weights to prevent them blowing in the wind. Covers keep pests such as birds and bugs from being able to disturb the crops, while still allowing sunlight and rain to seep in. There is no interference with the plants growth, as the covers are so light that the plants can support their weight, as they grow taller.

They are not recommended for use in areas where smaller pets like rabbits or hamsters will be able to hear it, as it effects them the same way it would the pests.

Pheromones

These secreted or excreted chemical factors are a viable option to keep pests away from plants, by attracting them to a different place. Insects are attracted to the smell, and get caught on the sticky paper on the trap, so they remain away from your garden.

‘‘

’’

cancer whose incidence is increasing the most, even more than lung, breast, colon and pancreas. These statistics beg the question of why and where are deaths from cirrhosis so dramatically on the rise.

With hepatitis C on the way to eradication with new curative therapies and hepatitis B being controlled with effective therapies, the increase in deaths from cirrhosis is driven by an increasing prevalence of alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases.

Increases in deaths due to liver disease were greatest amongst the Caucasian, Hispanic-American and Native American populations.

All U.S. states showed an increase in cirrhosis related deaths except Maryland.

The areas of the country with the highest increase in deaths were the South and West with Kentucky, New Mexico, Arkansas, Indiana and Alabama. All states had significant increases in deaths from liver cancer, with Arizona and Kansas leading the pack.

New York, while experiencing an increase in liver related deaths and liver cancer, has seen a slower increase than most of the remainder of the country. New York ranks 45th in alcohol related cirrhosis while Louisiana and California are first with the highest number of people with alcoholic related cirrhosis.

Most concerning is that people aged 25-34, regardless of race or gender, experienced the greatest rise in cirrhosis related mortality and this is entirely driven by alcohol related liver disease. For the record, it takes a lot of alcohol to develop cirrhosis at an early age.

Alcohol use and abuse among young people, even teenagers, is on the rise. It is perhaps an even greater problem than the catastrophic opioid epidemic sweeping the nation. The rapid increase in deaths from alcoholic cirrhosis among young people brings new challenges to health care. How can we intervene to prevent alcohol related disease when most people aged between

25-34 rarely seek preventive medical care and only present when something dramatic has occurred? It takes a good 10 years or more of active drinking to develop cirrhosis. If we are to intervene to prevent alcoholic cirrhosis from occurring at age 25-34 then we need to begin discussions with children as early as elementary or middle school.

Morbidity and mortality from liver disease is increasing across the country. The two conditions that account for this are alcohol and non-alcohol related fatty liver disease.

Both of these conditions are preventable with education and behavioral modification.

It seems a prudent idea for our health care system to allocate significant dollars on disease prevention, education and behavior modification. This will save money and lives in the future. I urge our policy makers to take this approach, especially in the west and south where the problem is the greatest and the resources allocated the least.

housands of Long Islanders are expected to join the American Heart Association’s Long Island Heart Walk on Sunday, Sept. 18 to raise funds to fight heart disease and stroke, America’s number one and number five causes of death. The annual event begins at 8:30 a.m. at Jones Beach, Field 5, in Wantagh.

The non-competitive, three-mile walk includes teams of employees from local companies, along with friends and family members of all ages.

“Participating in the Heart Walk can make an extraordinary impact in the community by investing funds in education and prevention programs, advocacy initiatives, and cutting edge scientific research which will save lives,” said Vito Giannola, vice president and treasurer of North America for Luxottica Group Long Island and Chair of the 2018 Long Island Heart Walk. “I look forward to working with Executive Leaders across Long Island to help raise awareness and funds for the American Heart Association to continue its mission to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.”

About 80 percent of cardiovascular disease can be impacted by our own actions. To drive this message home, the Heart Walk will highlight the pillars of a Healthy for Good mission—Eat smart. Add color. Move

Put Your Heart First

American Heart Association’s Long Island Heart Walk to save lives returns more. Be well, to help encourage our Heart Walkers to adopt healthier behaviors. Participants will enjoy free yoga, hula hooping and a silent disco to get their hearts pumping.

Learn CPR, take a Healthy Selfie or stop by the food tent to enjoy some healthy snacks provided by Shop Rite.

Families can enjoy some fun at the Voxx International Kid Zone for face painting, crafts and carnival games.

This year, Casey Coco, who was born with a congenital heart defect called

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) will serve as the 2018 Long Island Heart Walk Red Cape Ambassador, hoping to raise awareness for congenital heart defects and provide hope for other families.

The benefits of walking and moderate physical activity for as little as 30 minutes each day can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

The annual success of the Long Island Heart Walk is due in part to our Life Is Why Sponsors: Bradley & Parker, Inc. & Petro Home Services.

Local sponsors include Geico, Voxx, TD Bank, Bethpage Federal Credit Union, Catholic Health Services, NYU Winthrop Hospital, Chase, Zwanger Pesiri Radiology, CohnReznick, Luxottica, Americana Manhasset, and Deloitte. Local media sponsors are Cox Media Long Island and Connoisseur Media.

HEALTHY EATS

Operation Chocolate

There’s a healthy new chocolate snack in town

BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFauci@antonmediagroup.com

Diana Levy considers herself a “health conscious chocoholic.” As the founder of Undercover Chocolate Co., a brand that carefully sources all-natural, non-GMO, gluten-free ingredients and fair-trade chocolate, Levy is all about creating delicious and healthy snacks using everyone’s favorite ingredient: quinoa. The perfect crispy chocolate snack, Undercover Quinoa comes in a variety of flavors, including milk chocolate, dark chocolate and blueberries, dark chocolate and sea salt, dark chocolate and currants and dark chocolate and seeds. But is it really as irresistible as it sounds? The answer: Yes.

Q A

Tell me about yourself and Undercover Chocolate Co. Prior to having children, I worked in Public Relations and had a short stint as an options trader. I then was a stay at home mom for many years with my three daughters and when they got older, I started a small chocolate business where I made chocolate covered treats for events like weddings and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. I sold some treats in smaller retail and online outlets.

Q A

Would you say it’s a family business?

While my husband still runs his merchant banking firm, Octagon Capital Group, he is also chairman of Undercover and is involved with everything from setting up our computer systems to sales. My three daughters, now ages 20, 17 and 17 are also big fans of Undercover and contribute as Brand Ambassadors and help create content for our social media platforms.

Q A

This seems like it shouldn’t be a question, but why chocolate?

I’ve always loved (and have been obsessed with) chocolate.

Initially the chocolate company seemed like a good way to have my own small business in an area where my husband also had experience, having helped advise several larger chocolate companies financially.

Q A

How did you come up with this guilt-free, gluten-free snack?

After a few years in business, I realized that even though I loved chocolate, what I really craved and wanted to offer my family, was a healthier, lighter chocolate snack that used the same high-quality chocolate —but much less of it—over natural healthy ingredients. I spent many months experimenting with every ingredient I could think of and wrote out recipes for myself every day for months. As I was experimenting, two of my daughters were diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and it became incredibly important that whatever snack I came up with was also gluten-free and made in a gluten-free facility.

Q

I know quinoa is having a moment and has been popular for a few years now. Why choose that grain?

My older daughter, Arielle, claims it was all her idea. She came home a few years ago raving about the nutritional qualities of quinoa and how delicious it is in salads and as a side dish. I tried every grain I could get my hands on and for whatever reason, Quinoa just tasted the best, is gluten-free and also an incredible natural source of protein, fiber and nutrients.

A 2018 Dates Aug. 16th Sept. 20th Nov. 15th Dec. 20th Oct. 18th Alzheimer’s & Dementia Caregiver Support Group

Q 182979 C

At Grace Plaza, we understand how difficult it can be to navigate and understand exactly what caring for someone you love with Alzheimer’s and Dementia looks like.

We invite you, your family, other caregivers and friends to join us for our monthly support group.

Here you will find a place to share your feelings, learn and exchange valuable caregiving information, and discover a supportive network of Grace Plaza staff and other families sharing a similar experience.

Meetings are held on the third Thursday monthly at 2pm in the First Floor Parlor.

For more information about the support group or for suggested RSVP, please contact facilitators Jaclyn or Debbie at 908-208-6059 or email jdagnallsentosa@gmail.com

We welcome you to take a personalized tour of the Facility!

Your product is available at Whole Foods, Amazon and Bed Bath & Beyond.

Where else can we get our hands on Undercover Quinoa?

We are in the Northeast and Southwest regions of Whole Foods, Bed Bath &

A

Beyond Gourmet Markets, CIBO Gourmets (in airports), Fairway Market, Kings, Balducci’s, Zabars and more than 200 other specialty food stores and college campuses on the east coast. We also sell Undercover on our website www.UndercoverQuinoa. com and on Amazon.

Q A

How have you been marketing yourself to garner attention for your products?

Our main source of marketing has been through in-store demos.

We noticed right away that as soon as people try Undercover Quinoa they are shocked by how delicious it is, become huge fans, post about it on social media and persuade their friends and family to try it as well. There are some people who are initially skeptical of eating chocolate with quinoa—but once they taste it they realize it tastes like a more delicious, healthier version of a crunch bar or rice crispy treat and become obsessed.

Q

Do you have any upcoming products that you can share?

We’ve had lots of requests for both single serving sizes and larger bags. In the next few months we will start selling a single serve “cookie” version that I think will be a huge hit. We will also continue to offer new flavors on a regular basis and have been working on some other snacks that are based on using healthy ingredients “undercover.”

North Shore Child And Family Guidance Center Partners With Neiman Marcus North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center recently held its fifth annual Ladies’ Night Out event at the beautiful Neiman Marcus Garden City store. This marked the second year in a row that the Guidance Center has partnered with Neiman Marcus in an event that offered exceptional beauty services and raffle opportunities to the women of our local communities and also raised awareness of the programs and services offered by the Guidance Center.

All proceeds from the event will support the Guidance Center’s mission to provide help and healing to children and families dealing with mental health issues and to combat stigma and discrimination. Guests savored delicious small bites from NM Cafe and sipped unique bubbly libations while they were treated to brow shaping and makeovers by Neiman Marcus makeup artists, along with blow-outs and hair styling from Manhasset salon nuBest.

“The Guidance Center is grateful to the philanthropic team at Neiman Marcus,” said Nancy Lane, board president. “The events we hold at the store are very special.”

Carol Marcell, a member of the Guidance Center’s board of directors, brought her mother Joyce Bruno and two of Bruno’s friends.

“This was the second time my mom and I attended Ladies’ Night Out, and she didn’t hesitate to accept my invitation once again and to bring along her friends,” said Marcell. “We got our hair blown out by a charming young man from nuBest. And all of us loved looking at the clothes, jewelry and shoes at wonderful Neiman Marcus.”

“Neiman Marcus Garden City is very proud to be a supporter of the North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center,” added Doris Wilshere, vice president, General Manager at Neiman Marcus, Roosevelt Field. “It is our corporate philosophy to support and give back to our local community, particularly with organizations that are centered on children and family. Since our opening in 2016, we have been an ongoing partner with the Guidance Center and will be for the future.

We look forward to a growing partnership.”

WORD FIND

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re really putting yourself “out there” this week.

That takes courage, but it also makes your life better with such immediacy that it really won’t take much endurance. As you express yourself, you’ll train others on the subject of you and also set a precedent that they may choose to follow in future interactions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There was a time you needed to make unemotional, objective decisions, and you learned to do this well. But you still understand the unique logic of emotions, and you can expertly stir them if you have a good enough reason to do so. This week provides you with such a reason, and you’ll touch people’s hearts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People like to have a sense of what those around them are doing and where they are going. Discomfort sets in when those factors are unknown and unpredictable. This week, what you do to signal who you are, what you want and your direction in life will help others trust you, smoothing your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will always be as many sides to the story as there are people telling it. This week, it will be as important to give your own version credence as it will be to listen to others’. You’ll look at all sides, grant them equal merit in your mind and then blend the wisdom of the collective into a solution that suits most.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know yourself well, but what you don’t know is what effect you actually have on others. You might be surprised to know that your very presence flusters someone. Your choice of activities will make all the difference when it comes to forging bonds. Well, that and your approach.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The race is basically over before it’s actually over. Don’t skip out on the rituals, however superfluous they may seem in the moment. Cross the metaphorical finish-line tape; claim your medal and complimentary drink, too. These rituals mean something, if not in the moment then eventually.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s no one like you and never will be.

Even if you were cloned, the clone wouldn’t have your experiences and would in fact over time build a completely differently shaped brain from yours, because our brains are constantly changed by what we experience.

Because you’re an original, you don’t have to try to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If it were enough for people just to know what to do, everyone would only have to read one book on relationships or diets or any desired topic to be an expert. But it’s not enough to know what to do.

We also have to feel like doing it, or nothing happens. This week’s cosmic gift is the passion and motivation required to act.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Take pictures of yourself on your birthday. You’ll compare them with pics from your next one and be amazed at the transformation. This solar return releases soft, bright blessings that fall delicate as snow, giving your life a magical look. Someone who loves you like crazy will do wonders for your confidence. Laughter and friendship improve your health. You’ll make bold choices in 2019, especially involving work.

By February much time will be devoted to fulfilling a new and very satisfying role.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s time to take things how they are, without a lot of extra opinions and judgments about it. You could use a little less cynicism in your life, and it’s why you might choose to be around innocents or perhaps animals. You may also make efforts to simplify your day to day -- a use of your energy that is sure to repay you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Two beings’ trying to get along is always going to be a complex dance. Space must be negotiated at every level -- body, mind and spirit. It is as necessary to open yourself as it is to guard yourself.

The duet depends on this. You’ll be especially graceful this week in all the ways that help relationships develop.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want to be accommodating and to kindly clear every obstacle from the path of those around you. However, consider that some of those obstacles are half the fun, and taking them away might diminish another person’s experience. Make sure that others need and want help before you give it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re on a mission, and you’re going with or without the others. You should know that your independence is very attractive. People will join you because they sense your leadership, or because they feel very free around you, as you make sure not to psychically lean on others and have very few requirements of them.

DINING

The Sultan Of Swallow

Eat like Ruth, train like Ruth, hit like Ruth

BY STEVE MOSCO

B

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

abe Ruth’s massive success in baseball seems routine by today’s standards, as present-day players can hit upwards of 50 home runs in a season without batting an eye. But for his most prolific years in the 1920s, Ruth was smacking dozens of homers while everyone else could barely crack double-digits. Obviously he must’ve had a strict diet and exercise regime to keep him in top physical shape, right?

Well, not exactly.

Stories abound that Ruth mainly consumed hot dogs, beer and women during his heyday, with his exploits on and off the field becoming the stuff of legend— including Ruth’s proclivity to stuff more than 10 frankfurters into his gut and pour copious amounts of booze down his throat in between doubleheaders. Beyond ballpark fare, Ruth would reportedly eat steaks uncooked, two at a time, smothered in chili sauce. And for breakfast, Ruth was known to start his day with 18-egg omelets.

In The Life That Ruth Built, scribe Marshall

Smelser broke down Ruth’s purported daily diet.

Stated as such: Cookery was not a fine art of the heavy eater; trash food, candy, hot dogs, the runs of ball-park fare was as welcome as the work of New York’s finest chefs.

True, hot dogs were not main dishes but standard between-meals snacks.

He often grossly overate when strangers or new friends were with him, in order to keep alive his reputation as a greedy feaster.

He seemed to think he owed such a show to the spectators.

Ruth refreshed himself in the following style: (1) Dinner: two porterhouse steaks, a double order of head lettuce with Roquefort dressing, a double order of cottage-fried potatoes, a double order of apple pie a la mode.

(2) First snack at Coney island: four hot dogs, four bottles of Coca-Cola. (3) Second snack at Coney Island: the same. (4) Late supper: same as dinner. All of this in five or six hours.

There is at least one documented incident where The Babe’s appetite landed him in a hospital—or so that’s what the newspapers said. As the story goes, in what became known as “The Bellyache Heard Round The World,” Ruth was prepping for the 1925 season, having just signed a two-year $52,000 contract

20180810_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:40August 6, 2018

extension with the Yankees. He was with the team in Asheville, NC, when he collapsed after disembarking from a train. Newspapers initially reported that Ruth had a case of the grippe (an old-timey term for the flu), with the London Evening News reporting that The Babe had actually died.

Somewhere along the way, the story morphed into the fantasy that Ruth had overindulged on soda pop and hot dogs, causing intestinal abscesses that required immediate surgery. The true nature of his malady remains unknown, but some reports speculate that the Sultan of Swat was actually suffering from gonorrhea and not indigestion or the flu. Go figure.

But as the 1920s waned into the 1930s, Ruth’s voracious lifestyle needed to be reigned in. A report

27A

Babe Ruth’s prodigious appetite morphed him from a slight slugger to a portly powerhouse as his career progressed. A strict diet in his later years would rein him in a tad, but to this day he is still known for making the hot dog one of the most popular snacks both inside and outside of the ballpark.

in the New York Times on Dec. 24, 1932, stated that the original Bronx Bomber was on a mission to consume no more than 6,000 calories a day and to keep his weight at a slim 229 pounds prior to spring training. To achieve this, the article reported that Ruth had begun a rigorous training routine at Artie McGovern’s gymnasium where he rode a stationary bike, sparred for about eight rounds in a boxing ring and played a modified form of squash. As for this diet, the article states: The Ruthian diet is not absolutely set day by day.

Calories are counted faithfully and Ruth can go over his allotment for breakfast but he must curtail his calory consumption at dinner. This also works in reverse. Sometimes the Babe cuts down on breakfast

and steps up his dinner menu.

The article then describes Ruth’s daily menu and ends by assuring the reader that Ruth is the master of his own domain: Breakfast: Juice of six oranges; cereal (hot or cold); bacon and eggs; toast; coffee Dinner: Clear soup; broiled lean meat or fowl; three vegetables; salad; fruit cocktail or fruit jelly No greasy foods are permitted and the Babe can eat pretty much as he pleases, provided he keeps within the calory limitations. Ruth has become a dietitian on his own account and has no trouble in restraining his appetite.

These days it would be unheard of for ballplayers to snack on anything other than sunflower seeds

in the dugout. Luckily, fans do not have to restrain their appetites like players today or Ruth during his later years. Baseball stadiums across the country offer gourmet options from five-star chefs, allowing attendees to play out their most treasured gastro-related Babe Ruth fantasies. Chances are Ruth would indulge in various ballpark grub, but it is far more likely that he would gravitate like the planet he was to old favorites like hot dogs, deep fried potatoes, Cracker Jacks, peanuts, soda and gallons of beer.

The Ruthian Salad Days (where ironically he probably ate precisely no salad) unfortunately contributed to his premature death at the age of 53. But what a life it was, filled to the brim with more food, fun and pleasure than some people who live well into their 80s and 90s would ever experience. And baseball, it became the National Pastime, largely thanks to Babe Ruth.

It makes you wonder where the sport of baseball would be if it weren’t for hot dogs.

here are currently 44 players in the Baseball Hall of Fame who donned the pinstripes for the New York Yankees at one point or another. But none loom larger than George Herman “Babe” Ruth, Jr. So it’s no surprise that the New York Yankees Museum, which is located in the newest iteration of Yankee Stadium and has been around since the new building opened in 2009, contains a number of artifacts on display.

Among the items visitors can view are the Sultan of Swat’s 1932 home uniform, his 1927 World Series ring and a number of bats. Given that Ruth is museum curator Brian Richards’ favorite topic to discuss, he is especially fond of the hardware the Bambino used to inflict offensive damage on his team’s opponents.

“We have about four different bats of his right now. We have the bat from the very first home run hit at Yankee Stadium—Opening Day 1923. We have the bat from his 52nd out of 59 home runs in 1921, and we have a notched bat that he used in 1927 and 1928,” Richards

Ruth’s Records Reign Over Baseball

BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

I

t’s been more than 83 years since Babe Ruth played his final major league baseball game, leaving America’s Pastime with a mountain of records that took players decades to top. Even now, there are quite a few achievements of Ruth’s that remain untouched, despite other all-time greats coming close. Here’s a look at a handful of the all-time marks Ruth set in his illustrious career that no one has caught up to yet.

Slugging Percentage Babe Ruth remains one of the greatest hitters to ever play the game, leaving the game as the all-time record holder for highest slugging percentage (.690) in 1935 and having the record remain for well over a half-century and counting. Ruth achieved this feat by leading all players in the statistic for 13 of his 22 seasons in the majors, including for seven consecutive years from 1918-24 and another six consecutive from 1926-31. Boston Red Sox legend Ted Williams is second in slugging percentage with a .634.

On-Base + Slugging Percentage (OPS) This statistic relates heavily to the first, but this time it accounts for how many times a player has gotten on base, not just how often they hit the ball. Ruth left the game with an OPS percentage of 1.164, which is the best in the history of Major League Baseball. His best season was in 1920, his first year with the New York Yankees, where he had career-highs in slugging percentage (.847) and OPS (1.379). Williams was also second in OPS, finishing his career far behind Ruth with a 1.116.

Multi Home Run Games When you went to a game with Babe Ruth in it, you were likely in for a show. That was especially true for the 72 games in which Ruth hit two or more home runs. Seventy of those games were two home-run games

Babe Ruth is still considered one of Major League Baseball’s greatest players, so it stands to reason that many of his records are standing to this day. for the legend, while in two games he hit three. One of those games was against the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 25, 1935, five days before formally announcing his retirement. Barry Bonds was the closest to beating the record, as he had 71 multi home run games.

American League Home Runs Outside of the last season with the Boston Braves, Babe Ruth spent the entirety of his career in the American League. In six seasons with the Red Sox and 15 with the Yankees, Ruth

hit a grand total of 708 home runs, setting the all-time AL record. One of the great home run achievements

by Ruth was setting the single season record for home runs at 60 on Sept.

30, 1927, which would later be broken by Roger Maris in 1961 in 162 games—Ruth’s single season record, meanwhile, was set in 154 games.

Behind Ruth in career AL home runs is Alex Rodriguez, who sits at second with 696 home runs.

Innings Pitched In A World Series Game Along with all the regular season

accomplishments, Ruth was excellent on the World Series stage, hitting over .300 in six World Series stints.

However, one of the most fascinating achievements in Ruth’s 22-year career was when he pitched for 14 straight innings in Game 2 of the 1916 World Series, the most in a single game of the Fall Classic. On October 9, 1916, Ruth held the Brooklyn Robins to only one run and 6 hits, which led to a victory for him and the Red Sox in that game, as well as the title three games later. Considering how long pitchers are on the mound in today’s game, this bar may be one that will never be passed.
