THE MYSTIQUE The Yankees have a

certain “it” factor Yankee history speaks for

itself (39 Hall of Famers, etc.)

“Corporate” perception No long hair, no facial

hair, dress codes, lots of rules, etc.

Players must conform to the “Yankee Way”

THE MYSTIQUE…OR LACK THEREOF The Rays have always searched

for their own identity- it hasn’t been easy!

Not much history (1 Hall of Famer)

Their stadium has been unfavorably compared to a urinal

Sabrmetric principles- run prevention

Players have free reign to be individuals

Awesome team building: themed road trips and interesting special guests

WHICH WILL LEAD TO:Some of this…. ….And some of that

Page 15: The road  to revolution

THE ROAD TO REVOLUTION The Intolerable Acts are a

massive threat to all of the colonies

Colonial leaders feel the need to establish some sort of defense for MA

Committees of Correspondence call for a “Continental Congress”

Delegates from 12 out of 13 colonies come to Philadelphia in September of 1774

Page 16: The road  to revolution

1ST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS- 5 MAJOR DECISIONS 1) Reject plan for colonial

union under England 2) Come up with

Declaration of Grievances

3) Make military preparations for MA

4) Agree to a series of boycotts, enforced by the Continental Association

5) Agree to meet again in the spring of 1775

Page 17: The road  to revolution

LEXINGTON AND CONCORD

Farmers and townspeople were encouraged to gather weapons and ammo

Start to train as “Minutemen”

Not any type of massive army

Only supposed to respond to British aggression

Page 18: The road  to revolution

LEXINGTON AND CONCORD British Commander in Boston

is General Thomas Gage Believed his army was to small

to be an effective invading force

Essentially a really formal police force

He receives orders from Parliament to arrest both Samuel Adams and John Hancock

They are believed to be hiding out in Lexington, MA

He is also told that there is a stash of weapons in Concord, MA

Page 19: The road  to revolution

LEXINGTON AND CONCORD Gage wants to avoid as much trouble and bloodshed as

possible- this would limit the amount of soldiers he may lose (and hopefully avoid angering the colonists)

Decides to send 1,000 troops out of Boston on the evening of April 18th, 1775

This is where the committees of correspondence come into play

Page 20: The road  to revolution

LEXINGTON AND CONCORD The Midnight Riders Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott

“The Regulars are coming”

Revere and Prescott are both apprehended; Dawes makes it to the countryside and back

Page 21: The road  to revolution

LEXINGTON AND CONCORD When the British arrive at

Lexington there are roughly 70 minutemen waiting for them

Quick fight, nothing that seems real significant, but this will ultimately be the first battle of the Revolution

British will then march to Concord, but they don’t find any weapons of significance

Set fire to the town, but waste a lot of time in doing so

Page 22: The road  to revolution

LEXINGTON AND CONCORD Minutemen have lined

the roadways all the way back to Boston

They will use guerilla warfare tactics on the British

Chase British all the way back to Boston

Lexington was basically a trap to set up the events at Concord

Page 23: The road  to revolution

2ND CONTINENTAL CONGRESS Meet again 3 weeks after Lexington and Concord Kind of split in terms of emotions- you have an extreme

side (Sam Adams, John Adams) and a conservative side (John Dickinson)

Olive Branch Petition (rejected) Begin to draft a Declaration of Independence Issue paper $ Create a Continental Army- appoint George Washington

as commander No turning back at this point
