Pre Season Evaluation Game Salemites @ Pisces http://www.cosmicbaseball.com/2007ssppgame.html Published: January 8, 2007 COSMIC BASEBALL ASSOCIATION  3053

NOTES This is not the first time the City of Salem, Massachusetts has provided a cosmic baseball team. In March 1997 the Salem Witchsox beat the 1975 Boston Red Sox 7-3 (Game Report). The Witchsox were drawn from women and men who were executed because of the 1692 witchcraft trials. The Salemites are a non-humanoid team made up of buildings in the form of houses, schools and museums in Salem. On the cosmic baseball field, personal friendships can count for something. Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) is the General Manager of the Salemites. Portland (ME)-born Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) is the Pisces third baseman. The two met a Bowdoin College (both graduated in 1825) and their friendship lasted throughout their lives. (In Longfellow's Cambridge House, in his study, there is a prominently displayed charcoal sketch of Hawthorne.). But there were differences. Commenting on the anti-slavery activist John Brown, who was hung on December 2, 1859, Longfellow said, "This will be a great day in our history; the date of a New Revolution - quite as much needed as the old one. Even now as I write, they are leading old John Brown to execution in Virginia for attempting to rescue slaves! This is sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind which will come soon!" Hawthorne, in contrast, said about John Brown's fate, "No man more deserved to be hanged." Hawthorne should have known better. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Stephen Phillips Memorial Trust House, the starting Salemite pitcher got into trouble, and it wasn't entirely the pitcher's fault. Racecar driver Lance Reventlow led off the inning by smacking a weak dribbler to second baseman Saltonstall School who bumbled it, E-4. Patty Hearst struck out and Felicia Gleaton flied out to deep leftfield. Two outs and the opposing pitcher, Pisces rookie Eddie Carmel steps up to the plate. First pitch and bang! Carmel smacked a single up the middle of the field. Two outs, two Pisces on base and poet Longfellow steps up to the plate. He is hitless in three at bats. Phillips House works the count to 0-2. Then a fastball is delivered and Henry Wadsworth knocks it over the fence...three runs score and the Pisces add to their lead, the score is now 4-0. There wasn't much astronomer and notable author of The New American Practical Navigator (1802) Nathaniel Bowditch, the field manager could do except, ironically, send in reliever Hawthorne House in the next inning. But nothing could be done. Hawthorne [1804-1864] By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow How beautiful it was, that one bright day In the long week of rain! Though all its splendor could not chase away The omnipresent pain. The lovely town was white with apple-blooms, And the great elms o'erhead Dark shadows wove on their aerial looms Shot through with golden thread. Across the meadows, by the gray old manse, The historic river flowed; I was as one who wanders in a trance, Unconscious of his road. The faces of familiar faces seemed strange; Their voices I could hear, And yet the words they uttered seemed to change Their meaning to my ear. For the one face I looked for was not there, The one low voice was mute; Only an unseen presence filled the air And baffled my pursuit. Now I look back, and meadow, manse, and stream Dimly my thought defines; I only see--a dream within a dream-- The hill-top hearsed with pines. I only hear above his place of rest Their tender undertone, The infinite longings of a troubled breast, The voice so like his own. There in seclusion and remote from men The wizard hand lies cold, Which at its topmost speed let fall the pen, And left the tale half told. Ah! who shall lift that wand of magic power, And the lost clew regain? The unfinished windows in Aladdin's tower Unfinished must remain!
