More Bad News for Maine: BRAC List Targets Three Maine Facilities

p>The economy of Maine has taken a beating in recent years with the closing of many manufacturing enterprises—shoe factories, textile mills, paper mills. The list seems to go on and on. People once earning a living wage with health insurance coverage are now forced to either relocate or accept a lower paying (likely near-minimum wage) job in the retail or service industries. The standard of living in all of Maine has been drastically affected by these changes

But in the recent round of base closure and realignment, Maine has been even more severely affected. Brunswick Naval Air Base is slated for realignment, which in plain language means it is being reduced to a skeleton crew. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, on the other hand, is to be closed completely.

George Was Great

In an article at The Baseball Hall of Fame’s official site, research associate Gabriel Schecter writes that Sisler might have been the best all-around first baseman in baseball history despite being overshadowed by Lou Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx. Sisler was a better base runner than either, which is not to denigrate Gehrig, who was excellent on the bases, and as great as Gehrig was in the field, Sisler was better.
