2023.06.01 18:35 annabellefs03 WIBTA for not having my siblings in my wedding party?
I (20F) am getting married to my high school sweetheart in the distant future, and neither my sister (11F), "Heidi," nor my brother, "Keith" (18M), will be in the wedding party. My future husband, "Liam," and I aren't planning on getting married anytime soon, but we have big ideas for our wedding, including having cheongsams as bridesmaid dresses to celebrate my culture.
"Liam" was my brother's classmate, but they didn't really know each other besides their connection to me. "Liam" thought about making my brother a groomsman, but he had trouble choosing one of his friends to swap out and thought it would be unfair to do so. I thought about making "Keith" my man of honour, but my brother refused because he thought it would be too awkward and believed one of my friends should take that role. "Liam" and I agreed that "Keith" would be one of our two witnesses when we sign the papers.
"Heidi" would be too young to be my maid of honour if I were to get married anytime soon. Even if we were to marry in, say, five years, she would only be 16, and even my mom doesn't believe she would be mature enough to be the maid of honour or even a bridesmaid. I considered making her a flower girl or ring bearer, but "Liam" has many young family members, such as cousins, to fulfill those roles.
Some of my aunts have found out about this and have been calling me very vile names (that I can't say here, or this post will be taken down). They have been saying that not only am I ditching Chinese culture for white culture, but I am also shunning my family. I tried to explain to them that 1) the idea of the wedding was to merge our cultures, 2) I offered roles to my brother, which he rejected, and even gave him an even more important role, 3) my mom agrees that my sister shouldn't be a bridesmaid, and 4) my wedding isn't for years, so we could change our minds.
They are still shunning me, and I'm starting to feel bad. But this isn't just my wedding; it's also Liam's.
EDIT: I haven't actually planned my wedding, just had ideas. Everyone started badgering us about roles so we answered hypothetically... and it snowballed into this.
EDIT: I've read enough comments to know that I'm probably not the asshole, just a colossal idiot. I'm putting the wedding stuff aside until we're ready to actually want to start planning and when my aunties shut the fuck up.

2023.06.01 18:01 katyaslonenko The Running Grave will be a Libra book
This is one of my astrological long reads. Be warned.
In the comments to my “TIBH is a Leo book”, u/Focaccyna said that for a Leo book, TIBH contained a lot of Virgo symbolism. (How about Gus being a virgin, for example?) So I reread TIBH through Virgo glasses and found many Virgoean themes and symbols there!
_________
Don’t get me wrong; I am still certain that TIBH is at least partially a Leo book. But what if it’s actually both a Leo and a Virgo book? If JKR plans ten books in total, one sign per book is obviously not her plan. She’s already skipped a “Taurus” book (or combined it with primarily “Aries” CoE). No wonder TIBH, which I think is a “sister” book of CoE, goes over more than one sign, too. Just for the fun of it, let's imagine that we've already had Virgo in TIBH, and
Libra covers such themes as partnerships, marriages, and legal contracts.
So I would guess TRG will be rotating around married (divorced?) couples or legal partnerships the same way TB was rotating around mothers and TIBH - around fathers.
Libra is associated with justice and judges. We might visit a court. Would it mean seeing more of Ilsa, the lawyer? I certainly hope so!
Lady Justice is blind - I expect someone blind in TRG.
Libra's archetype is a devil’s advocate. We might meet somebody defending atrocious crimes in court. Libra is believed to be highly intellectual and morally ambiguous!
Popular astrology believes Libras to possess unusual persuasive powers. Combined with the highly intellectual and morally ambiguous aspects, they can be excellent politicians, motivational speakers, and lifestyle gurus. How about cult leaders?... Wink wink, I’m speaking about you, Norfolk community!
Because Venus is Libra's ruler, the customer in TRG will be a woman. Or the killer will be a woman. (Someone has to be a woman for sure! :D)
Venus is responsible for all things beautiful, while Libra gives things structure, so quite apart from cult leaders, Libras are considered good designers, art dealers, and artists. What if one of the customers for TRG happens to be a graphic designer?.. Or a side case will deal with an art object, a creative partnership, or a copyright issue?
Libra belongs to the element of Air. There might be a gas, a smell, a vapour, or a neuro-paralytic agent. Or death by the lack of air. (“Entangle the hanging venturer” - if this anagram means anything at all, then “hanging” refers both to the body found in the air and possible death from asphyxiation).
Another “air” book of the series is LW (Gemini), so there might be connections between the two.
If in LW we saw Sarah Shadlock winning Matthew, in TRG, we might see how their marriage is going on.
Izzy (Robin’s connection in the Ministry of Justice of all places) might reappear.
(Izzy might be in the decoration business now, and Sarah is an art dealer - Libraean occupations!)
In LW, Linda visited Robin in London. In TRG, Robin might visit Linda in Masham.
Libra is one of the “double” signs of the Zodiac (together with Pisces and Gemini), so we can expect some level of duplicity. I wonder if Robin has to take out her twin Venetia for a case again.
Charlotte’s twins are Libras born in LW. I think we’ll get a glimpse of them in TRG.
Robin suffered psychological issues in LW - Strike will most definitely suffer from them n TRG. In LW, Robin quits psychotherapy - I wonder if Strike will do the same.
He certainly will be on a diet! The symbols of Libra are a sword and scales. To weigh what is necessary and to cut what serves no longer.
_________
Now, having said all that, let’s imagine for a minute that Libra, too, was covered in TIBH! :D
Poison, jealousy, sex, death, rebirth, and transformation, profound religious and mystical experiences are covered by Scorpio.
Charlotte. Shanker. (Not sure if Shanker is actually Scorpio, but he carries a Mars bar almost every time we see him; hence the association with Mars the planet).
Scorpio’s archetype is The Detective - will we meet a competing agency or other detectives?..
All sorts of medical professions ‘report’ to Scorpio, especially chemists and pharmacists.
Strike is a Scorpio rising - meaning obtained Scorpio traits due to his early experiences. We might learn something about his childhood.
There might be connections with other water books - CC, SW, and TB - but especially with SW (Venus in Scorpio). We’ll see “the Tower” (Mars) and “the Hanged Man” (Water element) symbolism. (Something bad happens somewhere high - Someone hangs; the hero gets a new perspective).
_________
Okay, it’s time to wrap up! All in all, I think TRG will not be a Virgo book. (Too many themes to repeat from TIBH…). It will be either Libra, or Scorpio, or a combination of both.
If there is a Chinese connection in the next book (I Ching, Chinese lantern, Chinatown Twitter header might point there - or nowhere at all), then there is also Azure Dragon: a Chinese constellation that unites Libra and Scorpio.
Personally, I would like TRG to be a Libra book. Libra is the 7th sign of the Zodiac, and TRG will be the 7th book of the series. If JKR writes in symmetrical composition, it will also make TRG and LW parallel “air” books.
_________
Anyways, thank you for reading! I hope it was entertaining. :D

- Virginity/celibacy (a virgin maiden is the symbol of the sign) - the killer is a virgin, and all his jam is about being a virgin;
- The maiden often carries a “sheaf of wisdom” symbolising harvest - a machete is a harvesting tool and the killer’s weapon of choice;
- He is described as “cultured” and “cultivated” - a rather agricultural wording!
- Virgo’s tarot card is The Hermit - Gus lives in his room like in a hermit’s cave;
- Virgo belongs to the element of Earth - the killing happens in a cemetery; there is a cemetery in the game, too;
- Virgo is ruled by the trickster Mercury - Gus pretends to be Paperwhite and several other people, including Mercury’s Scaramouche;
- There is an Odinist cult in the book (Odin = Scandinavian Mercury);
- Its members also pretend to be someone they’re not (Lord Drek);
- Health is a central theme for Virgo. I’m looking at you, Strike, Josh, Gus, Inigo, Kea, Morehouse, and all the people in the background with their legs broken;
- Virgo's professions will be teachers, doctors, psychologists, editors, accountants, dietitians, personal assistants, and natural scientists. (Thinking about Mariam, Ashcroft, Prudence, Katya, Inigo, Morehouse, and doctors who admit Strike);
- In popular astrology, Virgos are considered nitpicky and “anal”, extra critical of themselves and everyone around them. Is Inigo a Virgo? He’s certainly anal enough to be one. (By the way, when we first meet him, Freddy Mercury plays in the background).

What would I expect from such a book? Libra is ruled by Venus; Venetia is Robin’s second name, and Libra is her Zodiac sign. The book just has to be Robin-heavy!Libra covers such themes as partnerships, marriages, and legal contracts.
So I would guess TRG will be rotating around married (divorced?) couples or legal partnerships the same way TB was rotating around mothers and TIBH - around fathers.

(“Entangle the hanging venturer” - if this anagram means anything at all, then “hanging” refers both to the body found in the air and possible death from asphyxiation).
Another “air” book of the series is LW (Gemini), so there might be connections between the two.
If in LW we saw Sarah Shadlock winning Matthew, in TRG, we might see how their marriage is going on.
Izzy (Robin’s connection in the Ministry of Justice of all places) might reappear.
(Izzy might be in the decoration business now, and Sarah is an art dealer - Libraean occupations!)
In LW, Linda visited Robin in London. In TRG, Robin might visit Linda in Masham.
Libra is one of the “double” signs of the Zodiac (together with Pisces and Gemini), so we can expect some level of duplicity. I wonder if Robin has to take out her twin Venetia for a case again.
Charlotte’s twins are Libras born in LW. I think we’ll get a glimpse of them in TRG.
Robin suffered psychological issues in LW - Strike will most definitely suffer from them n TRG. In LW, Robin quits psychotherapy - I wonder if Strike will do the same.
He certainly will be on a diet! The symbols of Libra are a sword and scales. To weigh what is necessary and to cut what serves no longer.
_________
Now, having said all that, let’s imagine for a minute that Libra, too, was covered in TIBH! :D
- It started on October 9 - in Libra;
- It was a Robin-heavy book with a female customer (Edie);
- Who was an artist creating an animation in partnership with her boyfriend;
- The book had several important partnerships: Edie/Josh, Gus/Morehouse, Lord Drek/Vilepechora, Katya/Inigo, Yasmin/Anomie, Wally/MJ;
- On the justice side, we dealt with Pen_of_Justice;
- we met Ilsa (and briefly heard about her current court case);
- Metaphorical blindness was everywhere. “Two forms of darkness are there. One is Night… And one is Blindness.” was an epigraph to the whole book;
- Several people were artists, including the victim, the killer, and many suspects and witnesses. Edie, Josh, Gus, Kea, Zoe, Pez, Mariam, Niels…
- Robin herself got to practice her artistic abilities;
- She had to be not only Venetia but Jessica Robbins, too;
- She had somewhat of a sexual awakening - Venus influence!
- Charlotte was divorcing and fighting Jago over the custody of their twins;
- Strike suffered from psychosomatic issues and now must address his trauma;
- At the end of the book, Robin’s name appears on the frosted glass door (partnership theme again);
- In the last scenes, she’s off to give a try to a romantic partnership with Murphy.
TRG will be a Scorpio book!
In that case, it will be a book of water ruled by Mars. It might feature a violent watery death - or accidental death by a lover's hand (Scorpio’s myth is Orion’s tale).Poison, jealousy, sex, death, rebirth, and transformation, profound religious and mystical experiences are covered by Scorpio.
Charlotte. Shanker. (Not sure if Shanker is actually Scorpio, but he carries a Mars bar almost every time we see him; hence the association with Mars the planet).
Scorpio’s archetype is The Detective - will we meet a competing agency or other detectives?..
All sorts of medical professions ‘report’ to Scorpio, especially chemists and pharmacists.
Strike is a Scorpio rising - meaning obtained Scorpio traits due to his early experiences. We might learn something about his childhood.
There might be connections with other water books - CC, SW, and TB - but especially with SW (Venus in Scorpio). We’ll see “the Tower” (Mars) and “the Hanged Man” (Water element) symbolism. (Something bad happens somewhere high - Someone hangs; the hero gets a new perspective).
_________
Okay, it’s time to wrap up! All in all, I think TRG will not be a Virgo book. (Too many themes to repeat from TIBH…). It will be either Libra, or Scorpio, or a combination of both.
If there is a Chinese connection in the next book (I Ching, Chinese lantern, Chinatown Twitter header might point there - or nowhere at all), then there is also Azure Dragon: a Chinese constellation that unites Libra and Scorpio.
Personally, I would like TRG to be a Libra book. Libra is the 7th sign of the Zodiac, and TRG will be the 7th book of the series. If JKR writes in symmetrical composition, it will also make TRG and LW parallel “air” books.
_________
Anyways, thank you for reading! I hope it was entertaining. :D

2023.06.01 16:55 MobaBobaDoba Chinese Zodiac Silhouettes (1085 Spoilers)
submitted by MobaBobaDoba to OnePiece [link] [comments]2023.06.01 16:50 Sure_Orange5020 Ancient Astrology on Phillips 66 Map
Hey everyone I know this may seem like a bit of a stretch but I think there is a very rare form of ancient astrology on the Phillips 66 map.
I think this fits the killers profile of being a narcissist, using something he knew a lot about to taunt people, knowing they could only figure it out if they were as smart as him. Astrology was booming when the zodiac emerged, and if he was very invested in ancient astrology, he would have seen newspaper horoscopes as excruciatingly bad astrology.
To fully understand who I think the zodiac was, you have to understand the history of astrology. In its early days it was as much of a science as medicine. In fact, up to the Middle Ages doctors would cast horoscopes for their patients. There was no real separation between astrology and astronomy. Claudius Ptolomy, the astronomer who wrote the Almagest (book about the sun rotating the earth) also wrote a the Tetrabiblos, a book on astrology. Someone studying the history of astrology/astronomy would have definitely came across similar looking ciphers in medieval astrological manuscripts.
But what is possibly occurring on the Phillips 66 map goes back to Ancient Greece where element theory originated.
I know a lot of you don’t want to think the killer was that smart, but I think it’s been unsolved for long enough to start considering other possibilities.
Here’s a video that describes this theory in detail along with a 1970s lecture describing how you’d incorporate the elements into the zodiac signs.

2023.06.01 15:51 Starrgazer8 Telling Time with Tarot
This list is by no means entirely comprehensive but it's a culmination of my knowledge and research. There are several aspects of the tarot that can be used to help you develop a sense of timing with the Tarot:
Best of luck learning what works for you and your reading style. Also with any divination practice or intuitive skill building, first check in with yourself to make sure you are grounded before deciding if something listed here, or in any book feels right to you and your practice.
Happy divining!

- Elemental Correspondences: The elemental aspects are Wands representing Fire, Swords-Air, Cups-Water, and Pentacles-Earth. Each of the elements is also associated with the Astrological signs which then correlate to the timeline/season associated with each zodiac. This is best described in Benebell Wen's "Holistic Tarot" chart linked here (p. 417). Wen also goes on to describe in a detailed chart, the differences between the Major Arcana, Pip Cards, and Court Cards, differing mainly based on the elemental and astrological correspondences mentioned above.
- Astrological Correspondences: Along with the table mentioned above there are some key timelines that are associated with the zodiac signs, and each of the zodiac signs is assigned to a major arcana card. Emperor - Aries: March 21 - April 19, The Hierophant - Taurus: April 20 - May 20, The Lovers - Gemini: May 21 - June 20, The Chariot - Cancer: June 21 - July 22, Strength - Leo: July 23 - August 22, The Hermit - Virgo: August 23 - September 22, Justice - Libra: September 23 - October 22, Death - Scorpio: October 23 - November 21, Temperance - Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21, The Devil - Capricorn: December 22 - January 19, The Star - Aquarius: January 20 - February 18, The Moon - Pisces: February 19 - March 20.
- Numerology: The numerical value of each card can offer additional insights into timing. The Ace can represent new beginnings or something happening soon, while higher numbers may suggest longer timeframes. Additionally, the presence of multiples of the same number (e.g., three Cups) may indicate a specific time frame or repetition. Additionally, depending on the reader or the querent, their numerological associations might be meaningful (If your birthday is on the 8th of August and you receive VIII- Strength, which is related to fire and Leo, this could mean that the event is going to occur neaaround your birthday.
- Time-related Symbols: Some tarot cards contain symbols that can hint at timing. For instance, the Moon card could imply something happening during a lunar cycle, or the Eight of Wands might suggest quick momentum or something happening abruptly.
- Repetition and Card Combinations: As mentioned above, the repetition of a particular number can warrant your attention. When multiple cards are drawn in a reading, pay attention to their combination and placement. Certain cards, when appearing together, can provide clues about timing. For example, if you draw the Eight of Wands alongside the Knight of Swords, it could imply a fast-approaching event.
- Timing Spreads: I consider this to be the most reliable and left-brained approach to divining timing--adding the above correspondences to a timing spread. A timing spread can be more general such as "near future" or "distant future" -- with a previously agreed upon understanding of what that is for you as the reader-- or more specific as in "this month" "next month", etc. Using your previous knowledge of the cards, and the information provided above in conjunction with a timing spread can be quite beneficial. Another very useful way to add to this spread is to ask the cards for more clarity on why timing is or is not important for your concern.
Best of luck learning what works for you and your reading style. Also with any divination practice or intuitive skill building, first check in with yourself to make sure you are grounded before deciding if something listed here, or in any book feels right to you and your practice.
Happy divining!

2023.06.01 14:12 sonofabutch No game today, so let's remember a forgotten Yankee: Jackie Jensen, "The Golden Boy"
Jackie Jensen, "The Golden Boy", was a superstar athlete in the 1940s who seemed destined for greatness as the heir to Joe DiMaggio... only to be supplanted by a different golden boy, the great Mickey Mantle.
Jensen would eventually live up to the hype, but with the Red Sox -- but his career ended prematurely because, as baseball expanded to the west coast, his fear of flying made road games unbearable!
The Yankees between 1947 and 1964 were utterly dominant, winning 15 pennants and 10 World Series. And it wasn't just the major league team that was successful. The Yankees of this era were loaded up and down the system, from Rookie ball to their two Triple-A teams!
With such a loaded major league roster, the Yankees had many talented players stuck either on the end of the bench or in the minors who would eventually find an opportunity with other teams, including Bob Cerv, Vic Power, Gus Triandos, Lew Burdette, Jerry Lumpe, Bob Porterfield, and Bob Keegan, all named All-Stars with other teams after leaving the Yankees. Clint Courtney would be the 1952 A.L. Rookie of the Year runner-up after the Yankees traded him to the Browns, and Bill Virdon was the 1955 N.L. Rookie of the Year with the Cardinals (and then Yankee manager from 1974 to 1975!).
But the most talented player who just couldn't find the playing time in New York was Jack Eugene Jensen, born March 9, 1927, in San Francisco. His parents divorced when he was 5, and he grew up poor, his mother working six days a week, 12 hours a day. Jensen said the family moved 16 times between kindergarten and eighth grade -- "every time the rent came due."
After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Jensen went to the University of California in 1946 on the G.I. Bill. There he became one of the most famous college players in the country, leading Cal to the Rose Bowl. In 1947, he was the starting fullback as well as the team's top defensive back, and in 1948, he rushed for 1,000 yards and was an All-American.
He also was a tremendous two-way baseball player, pitching and hitting for the Golden Bears in 1947 as the won the very first College World Series, beating a Yale team that had George H.W. Bush playing first base. In 1949, he was an All-American in baseball, too.
His blond hair, good looks, and athletic accomplishments earned him the nickname "The Golden Boy."
Halfway through his junior year, Jensen left Berkeley to turn pro. Jensen would later say he couldn't risk playing a career-ending injury playing for free while teams -- baseball and football -- were trying to sign him to big-money contracts.
At the end of the year, the Oaks sold his contract (and that of Billy Martin, another Northern California kid) to the Yankees.
That same year, Jensen married his high school sweetheart, Zoe Ann Olsen, an Olympic diver. (By age 18, she had won 14 national diving championships and a silver medal in the 1948 Olympics.) "Together they looked like a Nordic god and goddess," Sports Illustrated reported. Nicknamed "the sweethearts of sports," they were the Dansby Swanson and Mallory Pugh of their era. More than 1,000 people attended their wedding.
Jensen would start the 1950 season not in the minors but in the Bronx. He joined the Yankees in a time of flux. They though they'd won the 1949 World Series, the Yankees knew they had to make some changes, with 35-year-old Joe DiMaggio nearing the end of his career. And their heir apparent was not Mickey Mantle -- at the time an 18-year-old shortstop playing in the Class C league, the equivalent of A-ball today -- but the 23-year-old Jensen.
But Jensen disappointed, hitting just .171/.247/.300 in 70 at-bats, and only starting in 13 games. Watching from the bench most of the season, Jensen would later lament the lost year of development, saying he'd have been better off playing every day in the Pacific Coast League.
The Yankees won the pennant for a second straight year, and in the World Series he once again was left on the bench. His only action was as a pinch runner in Game 3 as the Yankees swept the Phillies. That "Moonlight Graham" appearance would be his only taste of the post-season in an 11-year career.
The following year would be DiMaggio's last, and Mantle's first. Jensen began the year as the Yankees' starting left fielder and proved he belonged, hitting .296/.371/.509 through the end of July... and then, shockingly, was demoted to Triple-A and replaced with previously forgotten Yankee Bob Cerv.
I can see why they called up Cerv -- the University of Nebraska stand-out was tearing up Triple-A, leading the American Association in batting average (.349), home runs (26), triples (21), RBIs (101), and total bases (261) -- but why demote Jensen, who had a 140 OPS+ in the majors? Maybe the Yankees felt the brash 23-year-old needed to be taken down a peg. In any event, Cerv hit just .214/.333/.250 in August and was sent back to Triple-A, but Jensen also was left down there. He hit .263/.344/.469 and was recalled after the Triple-A season ended, only getting into three games (he went 3-for-9).
Mantle, too, had started the season with the Yankees, and after hitting .260/.341/.423 through the middle of July, was sent down to Triple-A. But he hit .361/.445/.651 in 166 at-bats, and unlike Jensen was back in the bigs by August 24. He would play pretty much every game the rest of the season, hitting .284/.370/.495 in 95 at-bats.
The torch had clearly been passed -- Jensen was no longer the heir apparent to DiMaggio. In the World Series that year, Mantle was the starting right fielder, and Jensen wasn't even on the post-season roster.
Jensen was so disappointed with how the Yankees had treated him in 1951 that he talked to the San Francisco 49ers about switching to pro football, but ultimately decided to stick with baseball.
Never shy about what he said to reporters, Jensen told The Sporting News on October 24, 1951:
Sportswriters spent the off-season speculating whether DiMaggio would retire, and if he did, whether Jensen or Mantle would take over as the center fielder, as there were still concerns that Mantle, who had hurt his knee in the 1951 World Series, wouldn't be fully recovered by the start of the season.
On Opening Day, April 16, 1952, it was Jackie Jensen in center and Mickey Mantle in right. Jensen went 0-for-5 with a GIDP; Mantle, 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, and a stolen base! Seven games into the season, Jensen was 2-for-17 (.118) and found himself on the bench. He'd never play for the Yankees again. On May 3, the Golden Boy was traded to the Washington Senators along with Spec Shea, Jerry Snyder, and Archie Wilson in exchange for Irv Noren and Tom Upton.
In two years with the Senators, Jensen hit an impressive .276/.359/.407 (112 OPS+), but the team was terrible, and Jensen wasn't happy. Still just 26 years old, he later said he had almost quit after the 1953 season... particularly after a harrowing flight to Japan for a series of exhibition games with a squad of All-Stars that included Yankees Yogi Berra, Eddie Lopat, and Billy Martin. That experience gave Jensen a lifelong fear of flying, a phobia that became so intense eventually he could only fly with the help of sleeping pills... and a hypnotist!
He might have quit if not for the trade on December 9, 1953, that sent him to the Boston Red Sox for pitcher Mickey McDermott and outfielder Tom Umphlett. He was homesick, he hated flying, and he now had two little kids at home. Red Sox general manager Joe Cronin convinced Jensen to come to the Red Sox, telling him that Fenway Park was tailor made for his swing. Cronin was right: Jensen was a career .279/.369/.460 hitter, but .298/.400/.514 at Fenway.
It was in Boston that Jensen finally lived up to the hype, becoming a two-time All-Star and winning the A.L. MVP Award in 1958 and a Gold Glove in 1959. During his seven seasons in Boston, he hit .282/.374/.478 in 4,519 plate appearances. In his MVP season, Jensen hit .286/.396/.535 (148 OPS+) with 31 doubles, 35 home runs, and a league-leading 122 RBIs. During his peak with the Red Sox, 1954 to 1959, Jensen's average season was .285/.378/.490 (127 OPS+) with 28 doubles, 26 home runs, 111 RBIs, 14 stolen bases, and 3.6 bWAR. During those six seasons, no one in the American League -- not Mickey Mantle, not Ted Williams, not Al Kaline -- had more runs batted in than Jackie Jensen.
Of course, Mantle was the far better player -- even in Jensen's MVP season, Mantle had more runs, hits, home runs, walks, and a 188 OPS+ -- but Jensen's 127 OPS+ between 1954 and 1959 would have been an upgrade over the aging Hank Bauer's 110 OPS+ in right or the left field merry-go-round of Norm Siebern (113 OPS+), Irv Noren (107 OPS+), Enos Slaughter (103 OPS+), and previously forgotten Yankee Hector Lopez (101 OPS+). Casey Stengel would later say the Jensen trade was the worst one the Yankees had made while he was manager.
Despite his success, Jensen was sometimes booed by the Boston fans, just as they sometimes booed Ted Williams. There even was an article in Sport magazine, "What Do They Want From Jackie Jensen?", taking Red Sox fans to task for their unreasonably high demands from the Golden Boy. In 1956, in a game at Fenway Park against the Yankees, the hometown fans were razzing Jensen so much that teammates had to restrain him from going into the stands after a fan. Later that same game, Williams misplayed a wind-blown fly ball from Mantle, and the fans booed lustily. The very next play, Williams made a leaping catch at the scoreboard to rob Yogi Berra of a double. But Williams, still furious, spit into the crowd. He was later fined $5,000.
And Jackie was unhappy to be away from home. He and Zoe Ann had bought a house near Lake Tahoe, where they could both ski and golf year-round, as well as hit the casinos. They also had a home in Oakland, and a restaurant there, and each year Jensen hosted a pro-am golf tournament. But the marriage was struggling. Zoe Ann, once nationally known for her Olympic exploits, was frustrated to be a stay-at-home mom in the shadow of her famous husband, and Jackie became angry if she engaged in her favorite outdoor hobbies, suspecting there were men around.
Jensen's fear of flying also had become even more intense. Sometimes he was so drugged up that he had to be carried on and off the plane, fueling rumors that he was a drunk. Other times he took trains or even drove while his teammates flew.
Once again Jensen was talking about retirement, and in Spring Training 1957, the Red Sox allowed him to train with the San Francisco Seals, Boston's Triple-A team, rather than having to go to Florida. But he was still miserable. That year, he told Sports Illustrated:
After leaving baseball, Jensen invested in real estate and a golf course, but lost most of his money. He then got a job working for a Lake Tahoe casino, was a national spokesman for Camel cigarettes, Wonder Bread, and Gillette, and even tried selling cars. Ironically, Jackie found himself on the road almost as much as he had been as a ballplayer. In 1963, he and Zoe Ann divorced, remarried, and then divorced again.
In 1967, Jensen became a TV sportscaster, married his producer Katharine Cortesi, and eventually teamed up with Keith Jackson calling college football games for ABC, and was a college baseball coach, first at the University of Nevada-Reno and then at the University of California. He managed the Red Sox team in the New York Penn League in 1970. In 1977, Jackie and Katharine moved to Virginia and started a Christmas tree farm while he coached baseball at a military academy. About five years later, on July 14, 1982, he died of a heart attack at age 55.

Jensen would eventually live up to the hype, but with the Red Sox -- but his career ended prematurely because, as baseball expanded to the west coast, his fear of flying made road games unbearable!
The Yankees between 1947 and 1964 were utterly dominant, winning 15 pennants and 10 World Series. And it wasn't just the major league team that was successful. The Yankees of this era were loaded up and down the system, from Rookie ball to their two Triple-A teams!
With such a loaded major league roster, the Yankees had many talented players stuck either on the end of the bench or in the minors who would eventually find an opportunity with other teams, including Bob Cerv, Vic Power, Gus Triandos, Lew Burdette, Jerry Lumpe, Bob Porterfield, and Bob Keegan, all named All-Stars with other teams after leaving the Yankees. Clint Courtney would be the 1952 A.L. Rookie of the Year runner-up after the Yankees traded him to the Browns, and Bill Virdon was the 1955 N.L. Rookie of the Year with the Cardinals (and then Yankee manager from 1974 to 1975!).
But the most talented player who just couldn't find the playing time in New York was Jack Eugene Jensen, born March 9, 1927, in San Francisco. His parents divorced when he was 5, and he grew up poor, his mother working six days a week, 12 hours a day. Jensen said the family moved 16 times between kindergarten and eighth grade -- "every time the rent came due."
After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Jensen went to the University of California in 1946 on the G.I. Bill. There he became one of the most famous college players in the country, leading Cal to the Rose Bowl. In 1947, he was the starting fullback as well as the team's top defensive back, and in 1948, he rushed for 1,000 yards and was an All-American.
He also was a tremendous two-way baseball player, pitching and hitting for the Golden Bears in 1947 as the won the very first College World Series, beating a Yale team that had George H.W. Bush playing first base. In 1949, he was an All-American in baseball, too.
His blond hair, good looks, and athletic accomplishments earned him the nickname "The Golden Boy."
Halfway through his junior year, Jensen left Berkeley to turn pro. Jensen would later say he couldn't risk playing a career-ending injury playing for free while teams -- baseball and football -- were trying to sign him to big-money contracts.
"There was a money tree growing in my backyard. Why shouldn't I pluck off the dollars when I wanted to?"Jensen considered a number of offers, including from the Yankees, before signing a three-year, $75,000 contract with the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League. Jensen said he thought he'd face better competition in the Pacific Coast League, the top minor league of the era, than he would at the bottom of the Yankee farm system. He was right about it being more of a challenge -- he hit an unimpressive .261/.317/.394 in 510 plate appearances with the Oaks.
At the end of the year, the Oaks sold his contract (and that of Billy Martin, another Northern California kid) to the Yankees.
That same year, Jensen married his high school sweetheart, Zoe Ann Olsen, an Olympic diver. (By age 18, she had won 14 national diving championships and a silver medal in the 1948 Olympics.) "Together they looked like a Nordic god and goddess," Sports Illustrated reported. Nicknamed "the sweethearts of sports," they were the Dansby Swanson and Mallory Pugh of their era. More than 1,000 people attended their wedding.
Jensen would start the 1950 season not in the minors but in the Bronx. He joined the Yankees in a time of flux. They though they'd won the 1949 World Series, the Yankees knew they had to make some changes, with 35-year-old Joe DiMaggio nearing the end of his career. And their heir apparent was not Mickey Mantle -- at the time an 18-year-old shortstop playing in the Class C league, the equivalent of A-ball today -- but the 23-year-old Jensen.
But Jensen disappointed, hitting just .171/.247/.300 in 70 at-bats, and only starting in 13 games. Watching from the bench most of the season, Jensen would later lament the lost year of development, saying he'd have been better off playing every day in the Pacific Coast League.
The Yankees won the pennant for a second straight year, and in the World Series he once again was left on the bench. His only action was as a pinch runner in Game 3 as the Yankees swept the Phillies. That "Moonlight Graham" appearance would be his only taste of the post-season in an 11-year career.
The following year would be DiMaggio's last, and Mantle's first. Jensen began the year as the Yankees' starting left fielder and proved he belonged, hitting .296/.371/.509 through the end of July... and then, shockingly, was demoted to Triple-A and replaced with previously forgotten Yankee Bob Cerv.
I can see why they called up Cerv -- the University of Nebraska stand-out was tearing up Triple-A, leading the American Association in batting average (.349), home runs (26), triples (21), RBIs (101), and total bases (261) -- but why demote Jensen, who had a 140 OPS+ in the majors? Maybe the Yankees felt the brash 23-year-old needed to be taken down a peg. In any event, Cerv hit just .214/.333/.250 in August and was sent back to Triple-A, but Jensen also was left down there. He hit .263/.344/.469 and was recalled after the Triple-A season ended, only getting into three games (he went 3-for-9).
Mantle, too, had started the season with the Yankees, and after hitting .260/.341/.423 through the middle of July, was sent down to Triple-A. But he hit .361/.445/.651 in 166 at-bats, and unlike Jensen was back in the bigs by August 24. He would play pretty much every game the rest of the season, hitting .284/.370/.495 in 95 at-bats.
The torch had clearly been passed -- Jensen was no longer the heir apparent to DiMaggio. In the World Series that year, Mantle was the starting right fielder, and Jensen wasn't even on the post-season roster.
Jensen was so disappointed with how the Yankees had treated him in 1951 that he talked to the San Francisco 49ers about switching to pro football, but ultimately decided to stick with baseball.
Never shy about what he said to reporters, Jensen told The Sporting News on October 24, 1951:
"I felt so badly about the treatment that I received from the Yankees that, although I was in New York at the end of the season, I didn't feel like sticking around to even watch the club play in any of the World's Series games."Despite blasting his manager in the press, Jensen was still the property of the Yankees. That off-season, teams were circling, hoping to pry away the talented but disgruntled outfielder. There were newspaper reports of offers from the St. Louis Browns, the Detroit Tigers, the Philadelphia Athletics, the Washington Senators, the Cleveland Indians, and the Boston Red Sox -- with one rumor being Ted Williams to the Bronx in exchange for Jensen and several other players. (A Red Sox scout called the rumored deal "a lot of hogwash.")
"I do not feel the Yankees were justified in sending me to the minor leagues. When I was shipped to Kansas City, I was doing as good a job as any Yankee outfielder and better than some of them. I was hitting .296, which was ten points better than Hank Bauer and 30 points better than Joe DiMaggio, Gene Woodling and Mickey Mantle. Yet Casey Stengel didn't give me the chance I felt I deserved."
Sportswriters spent the off-season speculating whether DiMaggio would retire, and if he did, whether Jensen or Mantle would take over as the center fielder, as there were still concerns that Mantle, who had hurt his knee in the 1951 World Series, wouldn't be fully recovered by the start of the season.

Red Sox general manager Joe Cronin convinced Jensen to come to the Red Sox, telling him that Fenway Park was tailor made for his swing. Cronin was right: Jensen was a career .279/.369/.460 hitter, but .298/.400/.514 at Fenway.
It was in Boston that Jensen finally lived up to the hype, becoming a two-time All-Star and winning the A.L. MVP Award in 1958 and a Gold Glove in 1959. During his seven seasons in Boston, he hit .282/.374/.478 in 4,519 plate appearances. In his MVP season, Jensen hit .286/.396/.535 (148 OPS+) with 31 doubles, 35 home runs, and a league-leading 122 RBIs. During his peak with the Red Sox, 1954 to 1959, Jensen's average season was .285/.378/.490 (127 OPS+) with 28 doubles, 26 home runs, 111 RBIs, 14 stolen bases, and 3.6 bWAR. During those six seasons, no one in the American League -- not Mickey Mantle, not Ted Williams, not Al Kaline -- had more runs batted in than Jackie Jensen.

Once again Jensen was talking about retirement, and in Spring Training 1957, the Red Sox allowed him to train with the San Francisco Seals, Boston's Triple-A team, rather than having to go to Florida. But he was still miserable. That year, he told Sports Illustrated:
“In baseball you get to the point where you don’t think you have a family. It just looks like I’m not built for this life like some ballplayers. You are always away from home and you’re lonesome, and as soon as I can, I intend to get out.”The 32-year-old Jensen announced his retirement after the 1959 season, and he spent 1960 home with Zoe Ann and their children and running his restaurant. But he returned in 1961. After hitting just .130 in April, Jensen took a train from Detroit home to Reno, determined to quit once again. After a week away, he rejoined the team and had six hits in his next 10 at-bats. By the end of the season he was at .263/.350/.392, and he quit again. This time for good.
After leaving baseball, Jensen invested in real estate and a golf course, but lost most of his money. He then got a job working for a Lake Tahoe casino, was a national spokesman for Camel cigarettes, Wonder Bread, and Gillette, and even tried selling cars. Ironically, Jackie found himself on the road almost as much as he had been as a ballplayer. In 1963, he and Zoe Ann divorced, remarried, and then divorced again.

You Don't Know Jack(ie):
- How good would Jackie Jensen have been as a Yankee? Maybe not great. He was a career .279/.369/.460 hitter, but just .238/.326/.398 at Yankee Stadium, which -- especially in that era -- was famously death on right-handed batters. Fenway Park was much more to his liking!
- Born in San Francisco in 1927, it's no surprise Jensen's favorite player as a kid was Joe DiMaggio, who made his debut with the San Francisco Seals when Jensen was a 5 years old. When Jensen made his major league debut, on April 18, 1950, DiMaggio went 3-for-6 with a triple in a 15-10 win over the Red Sox. Two weeks later, on May 3, Jensen made his first start, playing left field and batting second, and DiMaggio was in center and batting fourth.
- Jensen wore #36 at Cal. When he came up with the Yankees, he was first issued #40, then switched to #27, and finally to #25. (With the Senators, he wore #8, then #4; in Boston, he first wore #30 but primarily wore #4.) Currently, #40 is worn by Luis Severino. Other famous 40's include Chien-Ming Wang (2005-2009), Andy Hawkins (1989-1991), and Lindy McDaniel (1968-1973). #27 has been worn by Giancarlo Stanton since 2018; prior to him, it was worn by Austin Romine (2016-2017). It also was the number worn by Bob Wickman (1993-1996), Butch Wynegar (1982-1986), and Woodie Held (1954-1957). Gleyber Torres has worn #25 since 2018; it also was worn by Mark Teixeira (2009-2016), Jason Giambi (2002-2008), Joe Girardi (1996-1999), Jim Abbott (1993-1994), Tommy John (1979-1989), and Joe Pepitone (1962-1969).
- Jensen is one of six major leaguers to graduate from Oakland High School, but the only Yankee. Cal has sent 83 players to the majors, including twenty Yankees -- most notably, early 1990s pitcher Chuck Cary, 1930s infielder Lyn Lary, and 1990 A.L. ROY runner-up Kevin Maas.
- The Yankees during spring training in 1951 tinkered with the idea of using Jensen into a pitcher. Jensen had been a star pitcher at Cal, including pitching in the 1947 College World Series, and had pitched in a winter league that off-season. But he was bombed in a handful of spring training innings -- while crushing as a hitter -- and the Yankees decided to leave him in the outfield.
- College teammates said Jensen wasn't afraid of flying at Cal. His second wife Katharine said the phobia came from a near-miss experience on a flight early in his baseball career -- he looked out the window and saw another plane coming straight at him! The two planes managed to avoid each other, but he was never comfortable on a plane again.
- Billy Martin, who also had grown up in Northern California and was Jensen's teammate on both the Oakland Oaks and the Yankees, was merciless when it came to teasing Jensen about his fear of flying. In 1953, on a flight from Okinawa to Honshu to play a series of exhibition games in Japan, the plane ran into a bad storm and was bouncing pretty hard. Jensen, who wouldn't get on a plane without the help of tranquilizers, was blissfully sleeping through the turbulence. Martin found a lifejacket and put it on, then stood over Jensen and shouted "We're going down!"
- Arthur Ellen, a hypnotist that Jensen had used to try to cure his fear of flying, believed Jackie wasn't aerophobic at all. It was really a fear of losing his family. "Subconsciously, it developed as a good reason to leave the Red Sox and go home," the hypnotist said.
- Jensen is featured prominently in Norman Rockwell's famous 1957 painting, The Rookie. Jensen is the one seated on the bench tying his shoe in the middle of the painting. Standing behind him is Ted Williams, and sitting on the bench next to him is pitcher Frank Sullivan (#18). Wearing the catcher's mitt in the foreground is Sammy White, and the player with his hand over his mouth to the far right is Billy Goodman. Jensen, Sullivan, and White had gone to Rockwell's studio in Massachusetts to pose for the painting; the images of Williams and Goodman were based on photos. The shirtless player was one of Rockwell's assistants, and "the rookie" holding the suitcase was a local high school student!
- Boston sportswriters named Jensen the team's MVP in 1954, when he hit .276/.359/.472 with 25 home runs and 117 RBIs. I guess they were tired of giving the award to Ted Williams, who hit .345/.513/.635 that year, albeit in just 117 games as he had broken his collarbone in spring training. Williams didn't qualify for the batting title that year because he had only 386 at-bats... mostly due to his league-leading 136 walks. The rule was subsequently changed from at-bats to plate appearances.
- After Jensen was acquired by the Washington Senators, manager Bucky Harris -- who managed the Yankees when they won the 1947 World Series -- pulled him aside and told him he was the right fielder and he'd hit third. "No pep talk, no nothing, but he made it sound like I was the right fielder and third place hitter for a long time to come," Jensen later recalled. "It made me feel good." The 1950s Senators had a number of ex-Yankees and several of them told reporters that Harris was a much more low-key, hands-off manager than Casey Stengel, and Jensen agreed. "With Stengel it was always 'watch for that curve ball' or 'watch for that change up'," Jensen said. "Bucky leaves you on your own up there." But Jensen would later say Stengel was the smartest manager he'd ever had.
- Stengel obliquely mentioned Jensen in his famously long, rambling testimony before the Senate Anti-Trust and Monopoly Subcommittee on July 8, 1958. Asked about legislation that would exempt baseball from federal anti-trust laws, Stengel said about 7,000 words without really saying anything. The hearing was held the day after the All-Star Game -- the Stengel-managed A.L. All-Stars won, 4-3 -- and in the American League starting lineup were Jensen and two other ex-Yankees, Bob Cerv and Gus Triandos. Stengel was asked if the Yankees were going to continue to "monopolize" the World Series, and his confusing answer: "Well, I will tell you. I got a little concerned yesterday in the first three innings when I saw the three players I had gotten rid of [Jensen, Cerv, and Triandos] and I said when I lost nine what am I going to do? And when I had a couple of my players I thought so great of that did not do so good up to the sixth inning I was more confused but I finally had to go and call on a young man in Baltimore that we don't own and the Yankees don't own him and he is doing pretty well and I would actually have to to tell you that we are more the Greta Garbo-type now from success. We are being hated. I mean from the ownership and all we are being hated. Every sport that gets too great or one individual -- but if we made twenty-seven cents and it pays to have a winner at home why would you have a good winner in your park if you were an owner? That is the result of baseball. An owner gets most of the money at home, and it is up to him and his staff to do better or they ought to be discharged." After befuddling the committee with answers like that for 45 minutes, Stengel was excused and Mickey Mantle called upon. His opening statement: "My views are just about the same as Casey's."
- Casey Stengel later said Jensen plus Spec Shea, Jerry Snyder, and Archie Wilson to the Senators for Irv Noren and Tom Upton was the worst trade the Yankees made during his tenure. But in reality it was pretty much a wash for the Yankees. Jensen, in two seasons, would be worth 4.9 bWAR for the Senators before being traded. Shea, a right-handed pitcher who had been an All-Star with the Yankees as a rookie, pitched four years in Washington and was worth 2.9 bWAR. Snyder was a good-glove, no-hit infielder worth -0.1 bWAR in seven seasons with the Senators. (You must have a really good glove to last seven seasons with a 55 OPS+!) Wilson, at one point seen as a good prospect but now a 28-year-old minor league journeyman, only played 26 games in Washington before being traded. In exchange, the Yankees received the 27-year-old Irv Noren, an outfieldefirst baseman who played five years in New York and was an All-Star in 1954; he was worth 7.9 bWAR, making the trade essentially even by bWAR. (The other player the Yankees received, minor league infielder Tom Upton, never made it back to the bigs.) Prior to the 1957 season, Noren was traded to the Kansas City Athletics as part of a monster 13-player trade that included Clete Boyer, third baseman of the early 1960s dynasty!
- The two players Washington got from Boston for Jensen, Mickey McDermott and Tom Umphlett, were both future Yankees. McDermott was a left-handed pitcher whose father, Maurice McDermott, had played in the minors with Lou Gehrig. Mickey was just 25 years old at the time of the trade but had been in the majors for six seasons, going 48-34 with a 3.80 ERA (114 ERA+). In two years with the Senators, McDermott went 17-25 (but with a 3.58 ERA), then prior to the 1957 season was traded to the Yankees as part of a seven-player deal; he went 2-6 with a 4.24 ERA as a swingman, and closed out the Game 2 win in the 1956 World Series. After that one season in New York, he was part of the trade with the A's that brought back Clete Boyer.
- Umphlett, a 22-year-old infielder, was traded back to the Red Sox in 1955, and then the Red Sox traded him to the Yankees in 1962 for infielder Billy Gardner. He would spend 1962 and 1963 in Triple-A for the Yankees, then ended his career in the minors with the Minnesota Twins -- the team that had been the Senators until 1961.
- In 1956, the anthology television show Cavalcade of America had an episode called The Jackie Jensen Story. Jackie had a cameo as the adult version of himself, but the 30-minute episode was focused on Jackie's teenage years and the influence of his middle high school coach, a man named Ralph Kerchum who became a father figure. The coach was played by Ross Elliott, a Bronx native whose most memorable role might have been as the director in the Vitameatavegamin episode of I Love Lucy.
- Jensen's MVP in 1958 broke a string of four straight MVP awards for Yankees -- Yogi Berra in 1954 and 1955 followed by Mickey Mantle in 1956 and 1957. Nellie Fox of the White Sox won it in 1959, and then the Yankees won it four years in a row again -- Roger Maris in 1960 and 1961, Mantle in 1962, and Elston Howard in 1963. Then a long drought -- the next Yankee to win it would be Thurman Munson in 1976.
- Going by bWAR, Mantle should have won it a third straight year in 1958 -- his 8.7 bWAR led the league, followed by Frank Lary at 6.7 and Al Kaline at 6.5. Jensen's 4.9 was 10th that year. Of course, they didn't have bWAR back then!
- Jackie won a Gold Glove in 1959; it was just the third year of the award's existence, or he might have won more. "Right field in Boston is a bitch, the sun field, and few play it well," Ted Williams said. "Jackie Jensen was the best I saw at it." Jensen was renowned for his throwing arm -- he twice led the league in assists, and twice led the league in double plays as an outfielder. One Yankee scout said he had the best arm he'd seen since previously forgotten Yankee Bob Meusel, usually said to have the best cannon in baseball history until Roberto Clemente came along.
- Jensen was well known for his brashness, especially compared to Mantle's aw shucks attitude. Mantle, asked if he thought he could beat out Jensen to replace DiMaggio in center field, humbly replied that there were three positions in the outfield and he hoped to win any one of them. Jensen, on the other hand, vowed he'd "out-run, out-hit, and out-throw" Mantle, an arrogant answer that didn't go over well with teammates. Joe DiMaggio, asked what he thought of the duel for his old job, quipped that Mantle was "out-quoting" Jensen.
- When Mantle was asked what he thought about Jensen's quote, he replied: "I don't know what to make of that guy." Jensen would later say he was misquoted, but reports of his cockiness would follow him throughout his Yankee years. Later in life, Jensen said people mistook his shyness and anxiety for arrogance and rudeness.
- According to Sports Illustrated, Jensen is the only player to have played in the East-West football game, the Rose Bowl, the World Series, and the Major League All-Star Game. I'll take their word for it!
- As a freshman at Cal, the first time Jensen touched the ball -- on a punt return -- he ran it back for a 56-yard touchdown. Cal quarterback Charles Erb said they'd never seen anything like it. "He was all over the field, dodging and leaping over guys. The rest of us just stood there on the sidelines with our mouths open. Finally somebody said, 'Who in the hell is that guy?' "
- Jensen is one of two "forgotten" Yankees in the College Football Hall of Fame -- the other is 1960s catcher Jake Gibbs. (Other Yankees in the College Football Hall of Fame include John Elway, who was in the Yankee minor league system before joining the Denver Broncos, and Deion Sanders, who was on the Yankees in 1989 and 1990.) Jensen also is a member of the Cal Hall of Fame, the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame, and... ugh... the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
- Despite his speed -- Jensen led the league in triples in 1956 and in stolen bases in 1954, and was in the top five in stolen bases in six seasons -- Jackie also was prone to grounding into double plays, leading the league in 1954, 1956, and 1957. His 32 GIDPs in 1954 was the major league record until Boston's Jim Rice hit into 36 in 1984, which is still the single-season record. Rice also had 35 in 1985. Jensen's 32 is tied for third with four others. The most by a Yankee? Dave Winfield with 30 in 1983, which is tied for 14th.
- Jensen lost most of his baseball earnings through a series of bad investments. His ex-wife, former Olympian Zoe Ann, later became a blackjack dealer in Reno to pay the bills.
- Jensen had four appearances on the popular show Home Run Derby, and set a record for most home runs in one match when he defeated Ernie Banks, 14-11, in Episode 24. The 25 combined home runs also was a record. He took on Mickey Mantle in Episode 3, with Mantle winning, 9-2, then defeated Rocky Colavito, 3-2, in Episode 25. He rematched against Mantle in Episode 26, with Mantle winning again, 13-10. Jensen set another record in that contest when he became the only player to hit four home runs in a row, and then a fifth home run in a row. That episode was supposed to be the season one finale, but it turned out to be the last episode of the series: The show's host and producer, Mark Scott, died of a heart attack at age 45, shortly after the last episode aired, and two months later the show's 64-year-old director Benjamin Stoloff also died. Rather than replacing them, the show was cancelled.
- Jensen's last game came against the Yankees, on October 1st, 1961, at Yankee Stadium. He appeared as a pinch hitter and popped out to shortstop Tony Kubek. In the 4th inning of that game, Roger Maris hit his 61st home run, breaking Babe Ruth's single-season record!
- Jackie and Zoe Ann had two sons, Jon and Jay, and a daughter, Jan. Jay's son, Tucker Jensen, was a pitcher in the Blue Jays farm system in 2011 and 2012.
2023.06.01 14:09 purelander108 How Should a Buddhist Cope With Illness? A lecture by Dharma Master Jingzong
In some ways, illnesses are like humans.
I. Accept Diseases 1. Diseases are no ordinary visitors. We do not encounter them by mistake. We must be diligent in serving them.
submitted by purelander108 to Buddhism [link] [comments]
- A disease possesses human attributes, such as a mind, spirit, emotions, will, wisdom and compassion. One should have an attitude of healthy respect and reverence towards diseases. One should be grateful for diseases instead of treating them with neglect and defiance.
- Diseases have consciousness and feelings that deserve a lot of tender loving care. They should not be considered as toxins to be quickly eradicated.
- Killing a disease is taking a life with real karmic consequences.
- Diseases are signs of disharmony and harbingers of death. Even so, they must not be killed, but treated tenderly. (If we take lives for our own benefit, we hurt both ourselves and others. This is true of literal and figurative killing. For instance, if we cling to powerful negative emotions, it is akin to suicide. If we lose our tempers and become enraged at our friends and family, it is akin to murder. By attempting to eliminate diseases, we are killing the benevolent gift of Heaven and Earth and offending the messengers of King Yama, the Lord of Death.)
I. Accept Diseases 1. Diseases are no ordinary visitors. We do not encounter them by mistake. We must be diligent in serving them.
- Diseases are an admonition from Heaven and Earth, an extremely kind and benevolent gift. Should we disrespect or disobey them? Initially, Heaven and Earth instruct us through the wordless teachings of natural law, but we fail to grasp the message. Then, saints and sages instruct us through oral or written teachings, which we fail to heed. After experiencing all manner of privations and adversity, we remain ignorant and impenitent, blind and deaf to the warning signs around us.
- As messengers of King Yama, diseases are worthy of awe and respect. We mustn’t offend or challenge them. Serious diseases are senior messengers of King Yama. If we ordinary beings set our minds on killing diseases instead of repenting and acting virtuously, aren’t we being foolish and arrogant?
- According to the Buddha, diseases are the consequences of one’s own bad karma (moral defects and misconduct). Therefore, one’s moral action is of paramount importance in healing diseases, while conventional medical care plays a supporting role.
- It’s best to submit to diseases willingly. If we can’t do that, we should try to accept diseases with equanimity. Enduring a disease grudgingly is no good at all.
- Complex and rare diseases, or acute and severe sicknesses, are usually the result of mistreating other sentient beings. Buddhists refer to these as karmic obstructions. In this instance, diseases are aggrieved victims or karmic creditors who will not relent until satisfied.
- All human beings create karma and go against nature. Many are impenitent, refusing to express contrition for karmic obstacles. Such hard-heartedness results in ill health or other misfortunes. The karmic illnesses of the habitually impenitent, without proper care and repentance, provide the opportunity for more evil karma to accrue. Therefore, one must utilize both moral rectitude and proper healthcare to treat diseases.
- If diseases afflict us as messengers of Heaven and Earth, we should confess our faults and show remorse, being respectful and grateful for the affliction.
- We know that our illness is due to our evil karma (wrongdoing). (The above attitudes will help console our illnesses.)
- If diseases afflict us as messengers of Heaven and Earth, we should strive to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang for good health and re-examine our lives.
- Whatever kind of disease afflicts us, we should always recite Amitabha Buddha’s name and embrace a vegetarian diet, submitting to the way of nature with a keen sense of letting go. We should obey the doctor’s instructions for healing and recovery, while practising Amitabha-recitation and cultivating sound morals. If these steps fail to avert death, we should suffer no pangs of regret. Killing the diseases would only augment negative karma; the circumstances would progress from bad to worse, from serious illness to sudden death. Our mistakes and bad karma would be multiplied, leaving us in abject misery and regret.
- We should aspire to take an active (instead of a passive) role in our spiritual well-being. We should desire nothing and fear nothing. Heeding the lessons taught by disease, we should vigorously cultivate a clear conscience and karmic wellness, instead of mere physical healing.
- Shakyamuni Buddha taught us that birth, aging, sickness and death are among the many sufferings in life.
- Disease is the fiery crucible of Heaven and Earth, which humbles the arrogant, disciplines the unruly, enlightens the fool and melts the heart of the brute.
- Our own illness should make us empathetic towards all those who are also suffering from illnesses around the world. May we, and all the world’s afflicted, experience an end to suffering.
- Periods of illness are times of golden opportunity - favorable karmic conditions in which we recite Amitabha’s name single-mindedly for rebirth in his Pure Land. In this Land of Bliss, we will be free from all sufferings, including birth, aging, sickness, death and ignorance, and enjoy a robust Dharma body with infinite light and infinite life.
- Business travelers eager to embark on their journey at daybreak are delighted to hear the cock crow. Similarly, practitioners who aspire for rebirth in the Pure Land are happy to find themselves ill.
- Sometimes, an illness only leaves us after we have paid for our karmic debts by, say, destroying furniture or other belongings, or suffering financial loss or bodily harm. In this way, our karmic creditors are mollified.
