Historical Tidbit: Ezra Perry Lincoln
Ezra Perry Lincoln was born on Tuesday, November 17, 1868 in Raynham, Massachusetts. He developed a fine pitching arm while working as a local blacksmith and was signed by the Cleveland Spiders (National League).
His rookie status states, "Exceeded rookie limits during 1890 season."
Lincoln was 21 years old when he pitched his first Major League game on May 2, 1890. He was two years younger than fellow pitcher, Cy Young.
Both pitched for the 1890 Cleveland Spiders. Although he was released by Cleveland in July 1890, he soon joined the Syracuse Stars (American Association). Lincoln's career with the Stars was also short-lived. He signed with Syracuse on 07/26/1890. His last Major League game was 08/12/1890. He was released by the Stars on 08/13/1890.
Lincoln played for many years in the New England League. He was a teammate of the youngster Nap Lajoie at Fall River in 1896. Ezra Lincoln died on May 7, 1951 in Taunton and is buried at Pleasant
Street Cemetery, Raynham, MA.

Living Democracy.
"If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence. If we desire a society without discrimination, then we must not discriminate against anyone in the process of building this society. If we desire a society that is democratic, then democracy must become a means as well as an end." ~ Bayard Rustin
"The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous. " ~ Frederick Douglass
"It's a relief to hear the rain. It's the sound of billions of drops, all equal, all equally committed to falling, like a sudden outbreak of democracy. Water, when it hits the ground, instantly becomes a puddle or rivulet or flood." ~ Alice Oswald

I am excited about the political re-birth we are experiencing this election year. Why? I am hearing concepts and ideas. People are imagining, brainstorming. People are dedicated to creating solutions, instead of bickering and backstabbing. I hope we can keep this up.
