Thirty-five years ago, Goose Gossage stood on the mound at Fenway Park and wrapped up one of the great comeback stories in baseball history.
Just days after the anniversary of that legendary one-game playoff, Gossage will share those stories and more at a special Voices of the Game program at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12 at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
This day begins what some consider to be the best three months of the year and prefer to call them - Rocktober, Newvember, and Decemper.
There are a series of concerts and festivals, like Oktoberfest and not to mention some of the best party holidays are celebrated during these three marvelous months.
There is the end of the federal government's fiscal year, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years eve. Also, Columbus Day, and lets never forget the sacrifices of our military during Veterans Day. Last, but not least: Religious holidays Chanukah during which candles are lit on each day. December 12th is the holiday of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Patroness of The Americas.
U.S. federal government agencies have shut down for first time in 17 years after Congress fails to reach any final deal on funding and while finger-pointing becomes a favorite Washington pastime.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress keep on trading blame following the government shut-down. Unfortunately, the congressional grandstanding is going to hurt all US taxpayers and the government shutdown is here. Republicans and Democrats didn't reach a spending deal by midnight tonight, so a partial government shutdown is now in effect.

HelpAge is launching the Global AgeWatch Index on 1 October, International Day of Older People.
The people on this planet are aging so quickly that most countries do not appear to be prepared to support their staggering numbers of old folks, according to a global study about to be released by the United Nations and an elder rights group.
The report ranks the social and economic well-being of old people in 91 countries, with Sweden coming out on top and Afghanistan at the bottom.
The report reflects what advocates for the old have been warning, with increasing urgency, for years: Nations are simply not working quickly enough to cope with a population greying faster than ever before. By the year 2050, for the first time in history, seniors over the age of 60 will outnumber children under the age of 15.
As the number and proportion of older people increases at an unprecedented rate, the Global AgeWatch Index will illustrate how the world is adapting to this new reality by ranking more than 90 countries in terms of how their older populations are faring.
