1. Jessica Canseco -- Games
   Canseco did have a productive season again in 1998, in which he hit 46 home runs and stole 29 bases, the most he had stolen since the 40 he stole in 1988. He was a Blue Jay that year, but his comeback was missed by most fans because of the home run race in the National League between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. Canseco then went to Tampa Bay, where he was having a tremendous home run season (34 in 114 games; and was voted an All-Star) when he injured his back and was lost for the season. He was claimed off waivers by the New York Yankees down the stretch in 2000, but was not a factor at all in the postseason.
2. Backyard Baseball -- Backyard Kids
   Backyard Baseball is not your traditional baseball simulation. The players are all kids who are as diverse as the American youth who will control them. When little Vicki Kawaguchi comes up to bat, she pirouettes her way to the plate. Marky Dubois plays with a pet frog in his overalls. Kenny Kawaguchi is in a wheelchair. Some of the players are even kid-versions of current baseball stars including Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Delgado, and Sammy Sosa.
3. Andro -- Mark Mcgwire
   Andro made headlines in 1998 when it was revealed that homerun champ Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals used it as part of his training and strength-building regimen. But researchers have cautioned against the use of the popular supplement. It ... causes a host of health problems, including damage to reproductive organs in men and masculinizing effects in women.
4. Baltimore Orioles -- Oriole Park
   The 2006 Baltimore Orioles will be starting with a clean slate. Buying Orioles tickets and heading to Oriole Park won’t entail the endless Sammy Sosa downward spiral or the eternal questions about Palmeiro banging steroids into his veins anymore. The distractions of the past few seasons have been removed. Now the question is what’s next for Baltimore Orioles ticket holders and their team?
5. Tulsa Drillers
   The Tulsa Drillers are the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies major league baseball team. Some of the top players in baseball have played for the Drillers on their way to the big leagues, including league MVPs Sammy Sosa, Ivan (Pudge) Rodriguez, and Juan Gonzales. And Drillers Stadium, the largest ballpark in Double-A, is only two miles from campus.
6. Iowa Cubs
   The Iowa Cubs are the Triple-A affiliate of the major league Chicago Cubs. The team plays in the Northern Division (American Conference) of the AAA Pacific Coast League. All Iowa Cubs home games are played at Principal Park.
7. Chicago Cubs -- Wrigley Field
   The Chicago Cubs are a professional baseball team based in the North Side of Chicago, Illinois. The Cubs are members and currently champions of the Central Division of Major League Baseball’s National League. The team plays their home games at the historic Wrigley Field, located in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. The Cubs are one of two Major League clubs in Chicago, the other being the Chicago White Sox of the American League.
8. Backyard Baseball
   Backyard Baseball is a highly acclaimed series of kid's video games for the Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, GameCube and the PC. Currently all the games in the series have been developed by Humongous Entertainment and published by Atari. It is one of six Backyard Sports games. The original game consisted of 30 neighborhood kids. But over the years, the idea of "Pro players as kids" became popular, and the original stats/look of the players changed. Managers can not create players, but they can choose from among a roster of characters to form
9. Finding Nemo
   Further to the 7th February update below about Tarzan Rocks closing, it is being speculated that a new Finding Nemo show will be the replacement. Remember this is no yet officially confirmed, and may be subject to change.
10. National League
    The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission NLNAC is the recognized accrediting body for the accreditation of all types of nursing education programs. NLNAC establishes accreditation Standards and Criteria of Nursing Education Programs through the participation of nursing educators, nurse practitioners, nurse administrators, and consumers of health care. Based on the authority granted by the US Department of Education, schools of nursing participate in NLNAC accreditation as one means of demonstrating their excellence to potential students, nursing faculty, and employers of nursing.
