A Galaxy of Stars best describes Andrew "Rube" Foster's 1910 Chicago Leland Giants. In their only season together, this combination of players played their way into the heart and soul of a nation divided. They are proof positive that the National and American Leagues did not corner the market on athletic talent. Foster's unit began the season with a thirty-two and one record and ended with thirty-one consecutive victories. They scored nearly 1,000 runs and finished the season with a 124-7-1 record. Their win total is elevated to 138-11-2 when Cuban Winter League games are added. They played 64 games in the Chicago portion of their schedule. These games are equivalent to a home schedule for National and American League teams. Foster's Giants finished with a landmark 57-6-1 record for games played in Chicago. That Foster, John Henry Lloyd, and John "Pete" Hill, three members of the 1910 Leland Giants, are enshrined in Baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, is worthy of closer observation. And yet, Bruce Petway, Frank Wickware, and Grant "Home Run" Johnson should be there, too.Thus, Phil Dixon's American Baseball Chronicles, Volume II, Great Teams, enters the illustrious conversation. The Leland Giants story is uniquely told here in a day-to-day account of every exciting win and every memorable thrill. The comparative scores and related histories are a resourceful and entertaining aid for further analysis of the participation of African-American athletes in baseball as best represented by one legendary team in a single championship season.

The essence of time management is beautifully captured by Gandhi's wisdom.

Each step is hesitant, revealing only the next immediate space. The way forward remains shrouded in uncertainty.Now, embrace the concept of planning. It acts as the lamp, the beacon that illuminates segments of this path, allowing for a walk with confidence and purpose. This illumination is precisely what "Getting Started in Time Management" strives to provide. By shedding light on how to use our daily allotment of 24 hours, it guides us away from the pitfalls of wasted moments and towards the rewards of well-spent time.
