The House That Ruth Built by Kelly Bennett: Historical facts included are diverse, inclusive, and accurate with information about the segregated leagues of the time included in the sidebar facts.

Children’s Book Council calls Kelly Bennett’s baseball picture book recreating Babe Ruth’s famous home run that opened Yankee Stadium a winner

WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — It was author Kelly Bennett’s love of baseball—sparked by her semi-pro catcher grandfather’s stories—that led her on a yearslong mission to create The House That Ruth Built a picture book about the opening day game in the original Yankee Stadium, the NY Yankees first official home ballpark, the world’s biggest, tallest, grandest stadium of the time.

On April 18, 1923, Yankee Stadium, hosted its first ever baseball game: NY Yankees against the Boston Red Sox. With The House That Ruth Built, award-winning author Kelly Bennett recreates the excitement of that opening day game—the stadium, the fans, the food, the pigeons…Watch out!, players taking the field, the Umpire’s “Play ball!”—and the big question. Could the Babe come through? Prior to the game, legendary slugger Babe Ruth—the Great Bambino, King of Swing, the Big Bam—said, “I’d give a year of my life if I could hit a home run on opening day of this great new park.” Could the Babe come through?

Vivid, vibrant true-to-event illustrations reminiscent of Norman Rockwell, created by Susanna Covelli, go hand-in-hand with the lyrical text to recreate the sights and feel of that first baseball game that very first fateful game that christened The House That Ruth Built. Bennett collaborated with several baseball organizations to get the details of this book just right. Historical facts included are diverse, inclusive, and accurate.

Bennett dedicated the book to her grandfather, Joe Silva, a semi-pro catcher, who played baseball with Babe Ruth on Barnstorming trips to California. “We’re a baseball family,” Bennett said. “I used to keep stats for my kids’ baseball and softball teams. I think it’s really, for me, an underrated sport to a lot of people. With baseball you never know what’s going to happen. In basketball, you know everyone is going for the basket. In football, you know they’re going for the end zone. In baseball, you have no idea where the ball is going, yet everyone’s brains is going 100 miles per hour.”

Over 85 seasons, Yankee Stadium hosted 6,581 NY Yankees regular season games, 161 postseason games—more than any other stadium in baseball history—and 33 World Series. The Yanks weren’t the only Big-League team to call Yankee Stadium “home” either. On July 5, 1930, the Stadium hosted its first baseball game between Negro League teams and over the next 18 years, until 1948, served as home field for teams fielding future Hall of Famers such as Satchel Paige, “Pop” Lloyd, Cool Papa Bell, Josh Gibson, and Jackie Robinson.

Baseball Aficionados of all ages —Yankees fans or not—will linger over the sidebars of baseball history, trivia, and vintage photographs. The House That Ruth Built (published by Familius) is available everywhere books are sold.

Bryan Brooks Utilizes Talent and Pure Grit to Compete With Large Studio Films This Summer Despite the Strikes and Controversies Plaguing Hollywood

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — (Por favor, desplácese hacia abajo para la versión en español)

Impacting the entertainment industry, Bryan Brooks has created an unprecedented production. Playing the role of writer, director, producer, editor, special effects artist, set designer and protagonist, Brooks makes his debut on the big screen with the film Wrecker (2022). This epic independent film endeavor tells the story of a construction worker named John Knox (Bryan Brooks) who joins forces with a sharp-shooting detective (Madrid Amora Mora) in search of John’s missing wife. During their search, the two unknowingly find themselves entangled in the sinister plan of a powerful cartel boss who is planning a citywide takeover. The cartel has administered a newly discovered drug to thousands of unwilling participants. The drug induces the brain into a zombie-like stage whilst enhancing the body with super human strength. The crime boss’ plan is to attack an American city with a horde of ‘zombies’ just before laying seige of the city by force. The malevolent cartel boss will soon discover that he has underestimated the tenacity of his new adversaries.

Independent filmmakers are known for their freedom of creativity and content. Due to their low budgets, most independent projects do not incorporate renowned actors nor directors, but instead rely on the sheer determination to impress their audiences. Thus, Brooks worked tirelessly for years in the creation of his film alongside longtime friends Madrid Amora-Mora, Brandon Hamilton, Charlie Woods and Tyrone Hutton. The result of all that hard work is a gritty, non-stop action movie with an 80s style that is every bit the quality and standard of a much larger budget Hollywood film.

“The biggest challenge for independent filmmakers is to come up with original ideas that both entertain and connect with audience members, ideas that invite discussion on the issues we believe are relevant,” says Bryan Brooks. “Breaking new ground and pushing boundaries with unique storylines and compelling ideas that engage audiences is how emerging talent gets noticed,” says Brandon Hamilton, the film’s Director of Photography.

Determined to show the world his abilities after years of hard work and great effort, Bryan Brooks is very pleased to have created what he calls the film he always wanted to see. “People are smart and need intellectual stimulation more than mundane stories and predictable endings, that’s where it pays to be an independent filmmaker. I just made the movie I always wanted to see. Wrecker (2022) is pure action, filled with crazy sets, funny situations , memorable characters, fantastic fight scenes, macho heroes, beautiful and powerful women and of course zombies! In short, Wrecker has it ALL!” Says Bryan Brooks.
The post-production of Wrecker (2022) concluded at the beginning of 2022 and shortly after it was released in the United States through the renowned Los Angeles based film distributor Indie Rights, who are very happy with the success the film is having. They are very excited to make the official launch in South America and especially in Colombia where part of the movie takes place.

Currently Wrecker (2022) is available around the world on YOUTUBE MOVIES with subtitles and will soon be dubbed into Spanish. The film is also available in Canada, USA, Mexico and the UK on TUBI and AMAZON PRIME VIDEO.

(En Español)

Impactando en la industria del entretenimiento, Bryan Brooks se suma en una producción sin precedentes. En el rol de escritor, director, productor, editor y protagonista, Bryan, hace su debut en la pantalla grande con su película Wrecker (2022) que relata la historia de un trabajador de la construcción en busca de su esposa desaparecida. Uniendo fuerzas con un detective para encontrarla, sin saberlo se ve envuelto en el siniestro plan del jefe de un cartel criminal que busca apoderarse de la ciudad. El malévolo jefe de cártel pronto descubrirá que ha subestimado la tenacidad de su nuevo adversario.

Los cineastas independientes, son conocidos por su libertad de creatividad y contenido. Debido a los bajos presupuestos, la mayoría de ellos no trabajan con actores ni directores de renombre, pero si con el determinación de impactar a la audiencia. De esta forma Brooks trabajó incansablemente durante años, junto al talento de Madrid Amora-Mora, Brandon Hamilton, Charlie Woods y Tyrone Hutton, para traer a la luz a “Wrecker”, una película de acción al estilo de los años 80 al nivel de Hollywood.

“El mayor reto de un filmmaker, es traer una idea original, que entretenga y conecte con la audiencia, cree controversia e invite a debatir sobre los temas que creemos relevantes” comenta Bryan Brooks.

“Romper esquemas y empujar los límites con historias únicas e ideas atractivas que atrapen a la audiencia es la forma en que se notan los talentos emergentes” Dice Brandon Hamilton, Director de fotografia del film.

Con la determinación de mostrarle al mundo sus habilidades y despúes de años de intenso trabajo y grandes esfuerzos Bryan Brooks esta muy satisfecho de haber creado lo que el llama su obra maestra. “La gente es inteligente y necesita estimulación intelectual, más que historias mundanas y finales predecibles, ahí es donde vale la pena ser cineasta independiente. Simplemente hice la pelicula que siempre quise ver. Wrecker (2022) es acción pura, escenarios locos, situaciones divertidas, personajes memorables, escenas de luchas fantasticas, heroes machos, mujeres hermosas y poderosas y por supuesto ¡zombies! En pocas palabras Wrecker lo tiene ¡TODO!” Dice Bryan Brooks.

La posproducción de “Wrecker” concluyó a principios del 2022 y poco después fue lanzada en los Estados Unidos a través la reconocida distribuidora de cine independiente INDIE RIGHTS, quienes están muy felices por el éxito que este film está teniendo. Están muy emocionados de hacer el lanzamiento oficial en Sur America y especialmente en Colombia en donde parte de la pelicula se desarrolla.

Actualmente “Wrecker” (2022) está disponible en YouTube Movies con subtitulos y proximamente doblada al español. Ver en TUBI y AMAZON PRIME VIDEO también.

St. John Bosco and the NFHS Network will form an affiliate partnership to produce and live stream high school sporting events powered by students.

BELLFLOWER, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — St. John Bosco High School is leading the way in bringing coverage of high school sports to the masses. On the heels of their partnership with For A Bright Future Foundation that brought a brand-new media lab to their campus and their subsequent plans to launch their own streaming network, Bosco+, St. John Bosco has now established an affiliate partnership with the NFHS Network.

The NFHS Network, operated by PlayOn! Sports, is the leading network for access to high school sports in the country, offering audiences unlimited access to live and on-demand games. St. John Bosco, as an NFHS Network Affiliate, will produce selected Bosco home and away games, and other games in the CIF Southern Section for the Network as a result of this new partnership. The NFHS Network will provide camera systems for the school’s baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, soccer and swimming facilities as well as production software for the school’s media lab. Further, the NFHS Network will collaborate with St. John Bosco’s Film & Media Arts Pathway program on training and curriculum development for its students, who will produce each live event.

“St. John Bosco is thrilled to be at the forefront of this exciting step forward in high school sports media. By forming an affiliate partnership with the NFHS Network, the leader in high school sports broadcasting, we’re not only providing wider coverage for our championship-winning athletic programs to our fans, but we’re also providing an incredible learning opportunity to our Film & Media Arts Pathway students who will be producing the games. This step, made possible by the For a Bright Future Foundation Media Lab that opened at St. John Bosco in February, is huge for our school community and for high school sports across the country,” said Dr. Brian Wickstrom, St. John Bosco President & CEO.

“The NFHS Network is proud to partner with St. John Bosco to empower students to gain real-world experience in broadcast journalism through the prestigious Film & Media Arts Pathway program,” said David Rudolph, PlayOn! Sports CEO. “We look forward to seeing the talent of the student-broadcasters and student-athletes at St. John Bosco showcased to a wider audience.”

The Film and Media Arts Pathway is a professional industry preparation program at St. John Bosco designed to prepare students for collegiate film school. From screenwriting, production and design to directing and producing, students learn about the business of the media industry through a hands-on, project-based approach. Senior Film & Media Arts Pathway student Jerrod Montgomery is excited to get started. He said, “To have this opportunity to learn from the best in the business and to actually produce a game at a professional level for a platform like the NFHS Network is something I never thought I’d be doing in high school.”

The partnership will involve a multi-sport, student-powered production initiative for Bosco home and away games and will later expand to additional schools in Southern California to expand the broadcast web for the NFHS. St. John Bosco is set to distribute the replays of the live games on their forthcoming streaming platform, Bosco+. The partnership is slated to kick off with St. John Bosco’s National Championship winning football team’s home opener on Friday, August 18 versus Liberty High School.

“As the head football coach at St. John Bosco High School, I am extremely excited to be partnering with the NFHS Network this upcoming season,” said Head Coach Jason Negro. “Bosco Football has become a national brand, so this new venture will help us expand our program’s exposure across the entire country. This unique partnership will also provide professional level production experience for the talented students in our school’s Film & Media Pathway.”

Head Basketball Coach at St. John Bosco, Matt Dunn, expressed his excitement for the partnership as well. St. John Bosco’s basketball program had a historic 2023 season with the team advancing to the CIF Open Division Final for the first time in school history. He added, “Being able to offer this type of innovative opportunity to our students, both in the classroom and in our athletic programs, is what we’re all about at Bosco. Not only will our Pathway students get to learn from the best, but our athletes will get to play in front of a larger global audience.”

More information about the St. John Bosco vs Liberty football game, set to stream on the NFHS Network on Friday, August 18, will be available in the coming week.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Corey Clark, Foster Care Advocate and American Idol top 6 contestant (2003) celebrates National Nonprofit Day (NNDay) this August 17, along with his live band Everyday People. “Releasing this video verse to images was our one small way of demonstrating the many things’ we all can do that acknowledge and honor those who volunteer and/or support nonprofit organizations,” says Clark. The video is one verse in length of Second Chance, a song made famous by El DeBarge, the primary lead singer of the family group DeBarge.

Recognizing that there are individuals in our midst that require assistance is the first step toward positively changing our society. The holiday was first established in 1992 by Congress as an opportunity for nonprofits and their supporters to recognize and thank all those who contribute time, energy and resources towards philanthropic causes.

LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Just Works, a social enterprise that provides payroll, benefits, HR, and compliance — all in one place, is sponsoring the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce‘s Annual Bid Whist and Casino Day.

For those unfamiliar with bid whist, it is a partnership trick-taking variant of the classic card game whist. Bid whist adds a bidding element to the game that is not present in classic whist. Bid whist remains popular particularly in U.S. military culture and a tradition in African-American culture.

The SCBCC is a nonprofit 501(c)(6) business organization dedicated to improving the economic environment for the minority business community and fostering business development and prosperity. The card game competition has been a tradition of the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce for nearly 30 years.

“Our annual tournament is a great way for guests and members to connect in a fun environment, “says William Paige, Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce Long Beach Area President. “It’s an opportunity to support our youth and our elderly while giving away cash and prizes.”

The annual bid whist tournament is a great opportunity for networking and fun, while also supporting a good cause. All proceeds from the event will go to support YouthBuild, a high school diploma program for disadvantaged youth ages 16-32. Funds are also being raised for Alzheimer’s and dementia research.

“We believe in the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce’s mission to promote economic development and opportunity within the Black community. This event is a great way to bring people together while also supporting a worthy cause. We hope you’ll join us on August 20th” says JustWorks team.
