Major League Milestones
As spring gets into full swing, so
does Major League Baseball. From
opening day on April 5 to the last
game of the World Series in the fall,
baseball fans will be cheering for their
favorite teams and players. Hit a trivia
home run by learning these fun facts:
• Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm hit a
home run during his first at bat
as a rookie pitcher. His career
lasted for 21 more years, but he
never hit another home run.
• Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny
Bench could hold seven
baseballs in one hand.
• Baltimore Orioles shortstop
Cal Ripken Jr. didn’t miss a
game in 16 years. From 1982
to 1998, he played in
2,632 consecutive games.
• Deion Sanders is the only man
to play in both a World Series
and a Super Bowl.
• The longest professional
baseball game lasted 8 hours
and 6 minutes. After 25 innings,
the Chicago White Sox beat the
visiting Milwaukee Brewers
7 to 6.
• In August 2011, only 347 people
showed up to watch a Florida
Marlins game. The record low
attendance was attributed to the
approach of Hurricane Irene.
Anatomy of a Baseball
An official Major League baseball
begins with a round cork center that is
wrapped tightly in wool yarn and then
polyester/cotton string. Workers cover
the ball with two pieces of white
cowhide and sew the pieces together
by hand with thick, red thread. A
regulation baseball has 108 double
stitches. Each ball must weigh
between 5 and 5.25 ounces and
measure between 9 and 9.25 inches
in circumference.
Happy Mother’s Day
We would like to wish all of our
mothers and mothers-to-be a very
happy day! We hope you know how
much your children appreciate your
hard work and worry that goes with
the title “Mom”.
Please stop in the clubhouse
between noon and 4 p.m. on Sunday,
May 10, for a special gift,
complements of Hampton In Highland.

Summer is coming! Our pool will
open Memorial Day weekend and we

• A photo Pool ID is required to

May’s Possibilities
“The world’s favorite season is the
spring. All things seem possible in
May.” —Edwin Way Teale
Spring Has Sprung!
Take a leisurely stroll around the
property to smell all the freshly
planted flowers and meticulously
landscaped courtyards. Our
landscapers will be starting Spring
Clean-Up April 1 and our flowers will
be planted in May.
Organizing Tip
When clearing out clutter in your
home, instead of deciding what to take
out, decide what to put in. Completely
empty a closet, shelf or drawer, and
then put back only what you really
need. Deciding what to do with what’s
left will be easier!

Stop the Sneezes
Do you suffer from seasonal
allergies? Try to avoid being outside
from 5 to 10 a.m. due to high pollen
counts. Avoid freshly cut grass, and
while travelling, keep your vehicle’s
windows up.
Wit & Wisdom
“In this world, a good time to laugh is
any time you can.”
—Linda Ellerbee
Look Out ... It’s a Cookout!
For safety reasons and as a
courtesy to your neighbors, grilling is
not allowed on your patios/balconies.
For your convenience, we have
provided a complementary gas grill for
your use at the back entrance of your
building. Just follow these few simple
instructions:
• Lift the lid, turn the right knob to
preheat (1/4 turn to the left).
Slowly insert a match into the
hole on the bottom right side of
the grill.
• Set the heat to the desired
temperature.
• After grilling, use the grill brush
to remove any excess waste
from the racks.
• Turn the grill off after use!
• Please Note: no charcoal is
required to use this gas grill.
No More Excuses
A lot of times, you may not feel like
exercising early in the morning or after
a busy day. So make a bargain with
yourself: Work out for 15 minutes, and
if you’re still resisting the effort, you
can stop for the day. It’s likely that
those 15 minutes will get your mind
and body charged up and ready to
keep going.
