Baseball Ireland 'who's who?!' - Nat Anglin

Nathaniel Patrick (Nat) Anglin , like a couple of other teammates before him, found Baseball Ireland on the Internet. He researched it further after the initial find, and decided to get in touch with Sean Mitchell. He eventually met up with Irish Team coach PJ Fox in his hometown of Milton, Massachusetts. Nat's Grandfather Robert J McNulty was born in Donegal and his Grandmother Mary McNulty is from Galway. He was very close to his grandfather and is still very close to his grandmother. As Nat says, Ireland's heritage and history has always been taught, remembered and revered in his family. Nat has played baseball his entire life but also played other sports like soccer in his youth. Later on in high school he decided to focus exclusively on baseball. When you talk to him you realise just how much a part of his life is and has been dedicated to baseball; ''I've played since four years of age, through little league, Babe Ruth league, Milton High School Varsity, Unive

Defending Dunkirk: Rejecting Some Of The Critiscism

The fact of the matter is the French put up a rousing rearguard in and around the streets of Dunkirk itself, but most importantly the French First Army fought off a massive German assault at Lille for several days , without which not a single member of the BEF might have got off the beach of Dunkirk at all. The French covered themselves in glory in Lille in partic

Thirty Years Of Star Wars And Here We Go Again

This will give you an idea how old you had to be to go to the original Cinema showings of the first Star Wars. I was looking for pictures of the Forum Cinema, in Dun Laoghaire, now closed down, and most of the returned images in Google were in black and white. I am not kidding. Look for yourself . It didn't look like much from the outside, but the Forum Cinema was gorgeous on the inside. Understanding why Star Wars means to much to people my age is simple really. We just didn’t stand a chance. There was nothing like it back then, it blew the lid off for my age group, starting with Star Wars, all the way through Empire and on to Return. It is no exaggeration to say that Star Wars, and the subsequent sequels, acted as a background narrative to many of my peers and I in the 70s and 80s. The simple tale of good versus evil resonated for a variety of reasons and dragged us with it through the years, through the mixed-bag second batch of movies and all the way through to today and
