<mask> (; May 8, 1937 – April 2, 2010) was a Cuban professional baseball player. He played for 15 seasons in Major League Baseball as a left-handed pitcher in 1959 and from 1964 through 1977, most prominently as a member of the Baltimore Orioles who won the American League (AL) pennant in each of <mask>'s first three seasons with the team. During that time, <mask> and the Orioles won the 1970 World Series. <mask> also played for the Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros and California Angels. <mask> and Denny McLain each won the AL Cy Young Award in 1969, due to a tie in the voting. For the Orioles, <mask> won 20-or-more games in a season four times from 1969 through 1974. Along with Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, and Pat Dobson, he was one of four Oriole starters to win at least 20 games in 1971.<mask>, nicknamed Crazy Horse because of his superstitious nature, ranks among Baltimore's top five career leaders in wins (143), strikeouts (1,011), shutouts (30) and innings pitched (2,028). In 1982, <mask> was inducted into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame. Life and career

Early life and first stints in the majors
Miguel Angel <mask> Santana was born in Santa Clara, Cuba, on May 8, 1937. One of four brothers, <mask>'s family made their living working in Cuban sugar mills. Not interested in pursuing that as a career, <mask> joined the Cuban Army, which allowed him to play baseball on weekends. He threw a no-hitter for an army team in 1955, drawing attention from scouts. Following his army service, he pitched for a Nicaraguan independent team in 1956, then joined the Almendares winter league team over the offseason.In the 1950s, the Cincinnati Reds executed a working agreement with the Havana Sugar Kings of the Triple-A International League (IL), helping them acquire many Cuban players, including <mask>. <mask> struck out seven Montreal Royals in just over two innings of work in his first game with Havana in 1957. Used as a starting pitcher and as a relief pitcher (44 games, 16 starts), he posted an 8–7 record and led the IL in earned run average (ERA) with a 2.44 mark. The next season, he had a 2.77 ERA and a 13–12 record, pitching 220 innings. Entering the 1959 season, <mask> was featured on a baseball card in a Topps set for the very first time, though the company misspelled his name as "Cueller." Part of Cincinnati's roster to begin the season, <mask> made his major league debut with Cincinnati against the Philadelphia Phillies at Crosley Field on April 18, 1959. He entered the contest in relief of Don Newcombe in the second inning with the Reds losing 4–2.In his two innings of work, <mask> surrendered a grand slam to Gene Freese in the third and a two-run double to Al Schroll in the fourth. The Reds went on to lose 14–9. His only other appearance with the Reds came three days later against the Milwaukee Braves. Again he pitched two innings in relief, giving up two runs as the Reds lost 7–4. After that, he was returned to Havana; it would be several years before he pitched in the major leagues again. For the rest of 1959, <mask> had a 10–11 record and 111 strikeouts. Though his 11 losses were tied with four others for eighth in the league, he ranked eighth with a 2.80 ERA and fifth with 220 innings pitched.Havana won the IL championship and defeated the Minneapolis Millers in the Junior World Series. The Sugar Kings moved to Jersey City, New Jersey, in the middle of the 1960 season in response to Fidel Castro's nationalization of American businesses in Cuba. In 33 games (21 starts) for the franchise, <mask> had a 6–9 record, a 3.53 ERA, and 74 strikeouts in 148 innings pitched. He split the 1961 season between three Triple-A teams: Jersey City of the IL and the Indianapolis Indians of the American Association (both Reds affiliates) and the Syracuse Chiefs of the IL (an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins). Exact statistics for this year are unknown. <mask> spent the 1962 season with the Sultanes de Monterrey of the Triple-A Mexican League, appearing in 37 games. He split the 1963 minor league season between affiliates of the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians.For the Knoxville Smokies (Detroit) of the Double-A South Atlantic League, he had a 1–1 record, a 2.54 ERA, and 39 strikeouts. With the IL's Jacksonville Suns (Cleveland), he had a 6–7 record, a 3.79 ERA, and 85 strikeouts in 24 games (16 starts). After being stuck in the minors for five years, <mask> experienced improvement in 1964. During the offseason, while he had been playing winter ball, teammate Ruben Gomez had suggested he start throwing a screwball. Signed by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1964, <mask> used the pitch about 30 percent of the time while pitching for Jacksonville, now an affiliate of the Cardinals. He made 10 starts for Jacksonville, posting a 1.78 ERA while winning six of seven decisions. Seeing his success, the Cardinals decided to promote him in mid-June.<mask> was used primarily as a relief pitcher for the rest of the year, though he also made seven starts. One of these came in the second game of a doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates; <mask> allowed five runs in  innings but earned the win (his first) in a 12–5 Cardinal victory. <mask> also beat the Pirates on August 26, this time allowing just two runs in a complete game, 4–2 victory. Freese, who had hit a grand slam off of <mask> five years earlier, made the last out. The hitter said that "he's a lot faster and has come with quite a scroogie". In 32 games (seven starts), <mask> had a 5–5 record, a 4.50 ERA, 56 strikeouts, 33 walks, and 80 hits allowed in 72 innings pitched. The Cardinals made a late-season surge as the Phillies collapsed in September.This took the Cardinals and <mask> to the 1964 World Series. Though <mask> did not pitch in any of the games, he became a World Series champion for the first time as the Cardinals defeated the New York Yankees in seven games. In 1965, <mask> failed to make the Cardinals roster and was assigned to Jacksonville to begin the year. With the Suns, he posted a 2.51 ERA and a 9–1 record. At the June 15 trade deadline, <mask> and Ron Taylor were traded to the Houston Astros for Hal Woodeshick and Chuck Taylor. Houston Astros (1965–68)
<mask> spent the rest of 1965 in the major leagues with the Astros, mainly as a relief pitcher, though he also made four starts. He posted a 5.81 ERA in his first 15 games, then posted an 0.72 ERA in his last 10.Twice in September, he had relief outings in which he pitched more than five scoreless innings. His record for the season was 1–4, and he struck out 46 batters in 56 innings, posting a 3.54 ERA. After beginning the 1966 season as a relief pitcher, <mask> was added to the starting rotation on April 25. Facing the Reds, <mask> held his old team to five hits and one unearned run in a 2–1 victory. After <mask> posted a 1.29 ERA in his first four starts, manager Grady Hatton said: "I've created a monster". Hatton explained: "For a while, all <mask> wanted to do was throw screwballs. But this year, he's mixing 'em up with fast balls and curves, and making the batters hit the ball.He's got good control and a good fast ball, and he's finally making use of them." <mask> had learned the curveball from Astro pitching coach Gordon Jones, and he was also throwing his screwball on 50-60 percent of his pitches. He strained a muscle in his side and had to leave a game on May 21 but was back to action by June 2. <mask> ultimately won his first six decisions, the last a 3–2 complete game over the Cardinals at the Astrodome on June 25, in which he recorded a career-high 15 strikeouts. He suffered two close losses during the campaign. On August 12, he held the San Francisco Giants to four hits and one run in eight innings, but Gaylord Perry of the Giants threw a 92-pitch shutout. On September 10, he and Don Drysdale of the Dodgers held each other's teams scoreless through nine innings; <mask> took the loss when he gave up a run in the 10th.<mask> threw his first major league shutout on August 29, defeating the Pirates by a score of 2–0. In <mask>'s final start of the campaign, a 4–3 road win over Cincinnati in the second match of a September 28 twi-night doubleheader, he hit his first major-league home run, off Sammy Ellis, to lead off the top of the fifth. <mask> finished with a 12–10 record, 175 strikeouts, and a 2.22 ERA, (second in the National League (NL) to Sandy Koufax' 1.73). Following a loss on May 17, 1967, <mask> won six straight games, posting a 1.18 ERA over the span. The first of these was a 2–0 shutout of the Giants on May 21. He made the first of four All-Star Game appearances at Anaheim Stadium on July 11. He came into the contest in relief of Chris Short in the 11th.Of the seven batters he faced, the only baserunner he allowed in the two shutout innings he pitched was Carl Yastrzemski, who recorded a 12th-inning single. The NL eventually won 2–1 in 15 innings. On July 24, <mask> had held the Phillies to one hit and no runs through eight innings, as Houston led 1–0. During the ninth, Philadelphia manager Gene Mauch called him a name from the dugout, hoping to start a fight and get both players ejected. Eddie Mathews of Houston acted as a peacemaker, but <mask> would allow an unearned run in the inning (due to a Mathews error). However, he finished the game, allowing only two hits total as Houston prevailed 2–1 in 11 innings. He threw back-to-back shutouts on September 22 and 27 against the New York Mets and Philadelphia; the latter of these was an 11-inning game in which he struck out 12.Five times <mask> struck out 10 or more batters in a game in 1967, the most coming on June 6, when he struck out 13 in a 3–2 win over the Cardinals. <mask> improved his record to 16–11 in 1967, with a 3.03 ERA. He tied with four other pitchers for fifth in the NL in wins and ranked fifth in strikeouts (203, the most he would ever record in a season). After the major league seasons, <mask> had typically played winter baseball in Latin America over the offseasons. However, the Astros asked him not to do so in the 1967-68 offseason because they thought he was pitching too much. When he returned to the team in 1968, he complained of arm soreness. He pitched only once in April and did not make a start until May 19.<mask> won his first three starts. On May 30, he threw a seven-hit shutout against the Braves in an 11–0 victory. He struck out a season-high 12 on June 21 and held the Phillies to one unearned run in a complete game, 2–1 victory. With a four-hit shutout of the Dodgers on July 29, <mask>'s record improved to 6–5. However, he lost five straight decisions, not winning again until September 17. In 28 games (24 starts), he had an 8–11 record, though his ERA was 2.74. He struck out 133 batters in  innings.On December 4, the Astros traded <mask>, Enzo Hernández, and Tom Johnson to the Baltimore Orioles for Curt Blefary and John Mason. Baltimore Orioles (1969–76)

1969–71
With Baltimore, <mask> "blossomed into a star," according to reporter Matt Schudel. As the pitcher joined fellow starters Jim Palmer and Dave McNally, and sluggers Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson and Boog Powell, the Orioles began a three-year run atop the American League (AL) in 1969. In his Baltimore debut on April 10, he pitched 10 innings and allowed just one unearned run against the Boston Red Sox. Though he did not get a decision, the Orioles prevailed 2–1 in 13 innings. He threw 10 innings in another game on April 23 (this one a 3–2 win over the Tigers), then threw a shutout against the Yankees four days later. Facing the Kansas City Royals on May 10, he threw a two-hit shutout in a 5–0 victory.On June 17 and 21, <mask> pitched a pair of complete-game four-hit, one-run victories, striking out 12 and nine batters respectively. He held the Red Sox to three hits on July 12 in a 4–0 shutout. In August, <mask> retired 35 batters in a row. The streak was ended on August 10 by César Tovar of the Minnesota Twins, as <mask> was three outs away from recording his first career no-hitter; Tovar's hit, which came in the top of ninth inning, was the only one the Twins would manage against <mask> in his complete-game shutout (a 2–0 victory). He won seven straight games from July 24 through August 19 (the last of which was a shutout of the California Angels), then won six straight from August 27 to September 18. During the 1969 season, <mask> achieved a win-loss record of 23–11, struck out 182 batters, and recorded a 2.38 ERA, as Baltimore won a club-record 109 games and the very first AL East Division title. <mask>'s 23 wins ranked second in the AL to Denny McLain's 24, his 2.38 ERA ranked third (behind Dick Bosman's 2.19 and Palmer's 2.34), and his 182 strikeouts tied Joe Coleman for fifth.His five shutouts were third behind McLain's nine and Palmer's six. For his outstanding year, <mask> tied McLain for the AL Cy Young Award. <mask> became the first pitcher born in Latin America to win the Cy Young Award. He also finished eighth in AL Most Valuable Player (MVP) voting. The Orioles faced the Minnesota Twins in the American League Championship Series. In Game 1, <mask> allowed three runs (two earned) in eight innings, leaving with his team trailing 3–2. Baltimore tied it in the ninth on a Boog Powell home run, then scored the winning run in the 12th on a Paul Blair RBI single to win the game 4–3.The Orioles went on to sweep the Twins three games to none en route to winning the American League Pennant and earning a berth in the World Series against the New York Mets. <mask> again got the start in Game 1, allowing one run over four innings and outpitching Tom Seaver in a 4–1 victory. The two faced off again in Game 4; <mask> pitched seven innings, allowing just a home run to Donn Clendenon, but the Orioles were losing 1–0 when <mask> exited the game. Brooks Robinson tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the ninth, taking <mask> off the hook for the loss, but the Orioles lost the game 2–1 in 10 innings. In the next game, the Mets completed one of the biggest World Series upsets ever, winning the 1969 Series four games to one against the heavily favored Orioles. <mask>'s triumph in Game One wound up being the only Baltimore victory. On May 29, 1970, <mask> struck out 10 batters, including four in the same inning, as he threw a four-hit shutout against the Angels.Twice in the first half of the season, he allowed only two hits in a game, on May 24 and June 11 (both Oriole wins). He threw a four-hit shutout against the Tigers on July 3, then pitched all 10 innings of a 6–2 victory over the Yankees four days later. <mask> made the All-Star team for the second time, picked by Weaver, who was managing the team. Through June, his ERA was 4.34 (though his record was 8–5), but <mask> only lost three times for the rest of the season while winning 16 more games and posting a 2.78 ERA. On August 11, he threw a four-hit shutout against the Angels for the second time that season. On August 27, <mask> became the second pitcher in the AL (after teammate McNally) to win 20 games, allowing 10 hits but earning the win in a 6–4 victory over the Athletics. He threw his fourth shutout of the season on September 9, necessary for Baltimore's 1–0 victory over the Yankees.<mask>'s win-loss record was 24–8 in 1970; he recorded a 3.48 ERA and 190 strikeouts. <mask>'s 24 wins tied with McNally and Jim Perry for the major league lead. He led the AL in games started (40, tied with four others), and complete games (21), also ranking among the AL leaders in strikeouts (fifth), shutouts (four, tied with two others for third), and innings pitched (, third, behind Palmer and Sam McDowell's 305). However, <mask> finished in fourth place in the voting for the American League Cy Young Award. "He should have won the Cy that year, but not doing so never affected his performance," teammate Palmer opined. In the AL MVP voting, <mask> finished 11th. <mask>, Palmer, and McNally combined for 68 wins, the most for a starting trio since three Detroit Tigers did so in 1944.The Orioles faced the Twins again in the ALCS, and <mask> started Game 1. Struggling on the mound in the cold weather at Metropolitan Stadium, he surrendered six runs in  innings. However, he contributed offensively in the fourth inning, when he hit a pitch from Jim Perry that barely stayed fair as it passed over the right field fence for a grand slam. The Orioles won 10–6, then went on to sweep the Twins for the second year in a row. <mask> had a rocky start in Game 2 of the 1970 World Series against the Reds, lasting only  innings and giving up four runs (though only one was earned). However, Baltimore rallied to win the game 6–5. In Game 5, <mask> was hit hard early, giving up three runs to the Reds in the first inning.It was then that his pitching coach, George Bamberger, advised <mask> to stop throwing his screwball for the rest of the game. <mask> settled himself down and followed Bamberger's advice by relying on his fastball, curveball, and changeup, to shut out the Reds for the next eight innings

 for an impressive 9-3 complete game victory that clinched the World Series title for the Orioles. Forty years later, reporter <mask> wrote, "Of his 185 big league victories, none meant more than that World Series win to <mask>." Facing the Indians in his second start of the year on April 14, 1971, <mask> only struck out two batters but only allowed four hits in a 3–0 shutout win. He took pleasure in a complete game, 3–2 win over the Indians on May 26. Earlier in the year, Cleveland manager Alvin Dark had said that <mask>'s fastball "couldn't blacken an eye." He won 11 decisions in a row from May 12 through July 8, posting a 2.17 ERA in that span.The first of these was a 6–0 shutout of the Kansas City Royals on May 12 in which Jerry May had the only hit off of him, a third-inning single. He shut out the Milwaukee Brewers on June 4, then held the Minnesota Twins to one run in a complete game, 2–1 victory five days later. Teammate Pat Dobson was so impressed with <mask>'s success, he started wearing his socks for good luck. With a 13–1 record and a 2.88 ERA in the first half, <mask> was selected to his third All-Star Game. In the second half, he was only 7–8, but his ERA was 3.34. Against the Twins on August 10, he gave up Harmon Killebrew's 500th home run. He held the White Sox to four hits on August 24 in a 1–0 shutout.In 1971, <mask>'s regular-season win-loss record was 20–9, and he had a 3.08 ERA and 124 strikeouts. His 20 wins tied with four others for sixth in the AL, his four shutouts were tied with 10 others for seventh, his  innings pitched were fourth in the AL (behind Mickey Lolich's 376, Wilbur Wood's 334, and Vida Blue's 312), and his 21 complete games were also fourth (behind Lolich's 29, Blue's 24, and Wood's 22). Palmer and McNally each won 20 games again, and newcomer Dobson did so as well, making the Orioles the first team to have four twenty-game winners since the 1921 Chicago White Sox. Though <mask> did not get any Cy Young votes, he finished 24th in AL MVP voting. This year in the ALCS, the Orioles faced the Athletics instead of the Twins. <mask> started Game 2, allowing just one run and six hits in a complete game, 5–1 victory. The Orioles swept the ALCS for the third year in a row and earned a berth in the World Series against the Pirates.In Game 3, <mask> allowed five runs (four earned) in six innings, suffering the defeat in the 5–1 loss. He allowed just two runs over eight innings in Game 7, but Steve Blass of the Pirates allowed only one run, and Pittsburgh won the series as <mask> suffered a difficult loss. 1972–76
On May 26, 1972, <mask> threw a four-hit shutout in a 2–0 victory over the Indians. He won only two of his first nine games in 1972, though his ERA was 3.50. After June 4, he posted a 16–7 record for the rest of the year, with a 2.36 ERA. Though striking out only two Yankees on June 28, he allowed five hits and no runs in a 4–0 shutout. A little over a month later, he allowed just three hits in a 5–0 shutout of the Yankees on July 30.On August 11, he struck out a season-high 13 batters in a 2–1 win over Boston. From August 25 through September 16, he won five straight decisions for the Orioles. Nine shutout innings on September 3 were not enough for a win as the Angels scored a run against Eddie Watt in the 10th to win 1–0, but <mask> threw nine more shutout innings four days later, getting credit for the win this time in a 9–0 victory over the Tigers. In 35 starts, he had an 18–12 record, a 2.57 ERA, and 132 strikeouts in  innings pitched. His 18 wins were tied with Clyde Wright for 10th in the AL. <mask> got off to a 2–6 start in 1973, posting a 5.00 ERA through June 9. Afterwards, he went 16–7, posting a 2.56 ERA.He held the Texas Rangers to three hits on June 15 in a 1–0 shutout. Ten days later, he pitched all 12 innings of a 4–3 win over the Brewers. On July 19, he struck out 12 batters and pitched all 11 innings of a 3–1 victory over the Angels. He threw a five-hit shutout against the White Sox on August 18 in a 3–0 victory. From August 9 through September 1, he won six starts in a row; after losing on September 5, he won his last four decisions of the year. On September 17, he allowed four runs (two earned) and struck out nine as he pitched all 10 innings of a 5–4 win over the Yankees. In 38 starts, he had an 18–13 record, a 3.27 ERA, and 140 strikeouts in 267 innings.After a one-year absence from the playoffs, the Orioles won the AL East again, facing the defending World Series Champion Athletics in the ALCS. The starter for Game 3, <mask> pitched every inning of an 11-inning game, matching pace with Ken Holtzman of the Athletics for 10 innings before finally giving up a game-ending home run to Bert Campaneris in a 2–1 loss. The Athletics won the series in five games. During 1974 spring training, <mask> began parking in a special spot in the reporters-only parking lot, perhaps thinking that The Cuban Star referred to him. "Who else is Cuban star on this club?" he asked. Despite a broken toe, he was ready for the start of the season.After losing all three of his April decisions, he won nine straight decisions before finally suffering another loss on June 21. Included in that streak were two shutouts: a rain-shortened seven-inning game against Boston on May 17 and a 1–0 victory over the Twins on June 17. Against the Yankees on June 30, <mask> struck out only one batter but threw a six-hit shutout in a June 30. He was selected to the All-Star Game for the fourth time in his career. On August 15, he struck out a season-high 10 batters and held the White Sox to six hits and one run in a complete game, 2–1 victory. After a loss on August 24, <mask> won seven of his last nine games, and the two he did not get the decision in were also Oriole victories. In early September, <mask>, Palmer, McNally, and Ross Grimsley set an AL record with five consecutive shutouts.<mask> threw two in the streak, both 1–0 victories. <mask> had a great season in , finishing with a win-loss record of 22–10, a 3.11 ERA, and 106 strikeouts. He led the AL in winning percentage with a .688 mark, and his 22 wins were third in the league behind Hunter's and Fergie Jenkins's 25. <mask> pitched 20 complete games (tied with Steve Busby for eighth), including five shutouts (tied with Jim Bibby for fourth), as he earned a sixth-place finish in the Cy Young Award voting. From 1969 through 1974, <mask>'s .665 winning percentage was the best in the major leagues. Again, the Orioles won the Eastern Division and faced the Athletics in the ALCS. In Game 1, <mask> gave up three runs over eight innings, pitching craftily and earning the victory as the Orioles won 6–3.He allowed just one hit in Game 4, but his control was not good; he walked nine hitters and was lifted in the fifth inning after walking in a run. The Athletics only scored one more all game, but that was enough for a series-clinching, 2–1 win. It would be <mask>'s final postseason start; in playoff games, he had gone 4–4 and posted a 2.85 ERA. In <mask>'s second start of 1975 on April 16, he allowed just three hits in a 2–0 shutout of the Brewers. On May 31, a third-inning single by Bruce Bochte was the only hit <mask> allowed in a 1–0, shutout victory over the Angels. He gave up six hits in a shutout of the Red Sox on June 22, a 6–0 victory in the first game of a doubleheader. After the Tigers knocked <mask> out in the second inning of a game on June 26, 1975, he returned three days later and held Detroit to five hits and one run in a complete game, 2–1 victory.On July 26, he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Brewers and finished with one hit allowed (a single to George Scott) and 10 strikeouts in a 4–0 victory over the Brewers. He allowed just two hits on August 11 in a 4–0 shutout of the Royals. On September 2, in the first game of a doubleheader against Cleveland, he pitched all 10 innings, allowing 11 hits but just two runs as the Orioles won 3–2. <mask>'s ERA in 1975 was 3.66, the highest it had been since 1964-though his five shutouts tied his career high, his pitching was not as consistent as usual. He had a 14–12 record and struck out 105 batters in 256 innings. The five shutouts tied with three others for third in the AL, behind Palmer's 10 and Hunter's seven. By 1976, <mask> was 39 years old, and his age negatively impacted his performance.He did shut out the Rangers on June 20, limiting Texas to three hits in a 2–0 victory. After posting a 4–12 record and a 5.14 ERA through the end of July, he was moved to the bullpen. He made five relief appearances for the Orioles in August, then did not pitch at all once the Orioles made their September call-ups. In 26 games (19 starts), he had a 4–13 record, a 4.96 ERA, and 32 strikeouts in 107 innings pitched. He was released on December 21, ending his eight-year tenure with the Orioles. With the Orioles, <mask> would enjoy three consecutive 20-win seasons. California Angels (1977), later career
On January 25, 1977, <mask> was signed by the California Angels.Harry Dalton, their general manager (GM), was friends with <mask> from his time as the Orioles' GM previously. However, <mask> struggled in spring training and did not even appear in a regular season game until April 26, California's 19th game of the season. In a start against the Yankees on May 3, <mask> allowed seven hits and six runs in  innings, taking the loss in an 8–1 defeat. He was released on May 16, having only appeared in two games. That would be the end of his major league career. In 1979, <mask> joined the San Juan Boricuas of the newly-created independent Inter-American League. He suffered a pulled hamstring in his third start but continued to appear in games despite the injury.Plagued by financial troubles and visa issues, the league folded on June 30. <mask> continued to play in Puerto Rican winter leagues and the Mexican League through 1983 before retiring for good. While in Puerto Rico in 1983, he taught Willie Hernández how to throw a screwball. Hernández would win the AL Cy Young and MVP Awards in 1984. During his 15-season career, <mask> had a win-loss record of 185–130 with a 3.14 ERA, 1,632 strikeouts, 172 complete games, 36 shutouts, and 11 saves in 453 games and 2,808 innings pitched. In five American League Championship Series and three World Series appearances, <mask> pitched in 12 games, winning four games and losing four with a 2.85 ERA while recording 56 strikeouts. Pitching style
<mask> was a "junkball" pitcher, relying heavily on his excellent screwball and change-up rather than a hard fastball, according to Baltimore Sun reporter <mask>.Klingaman observed that by cleverly selecting which pitches to throw, <mask> set up hitters for strikeouts. Fellow Oriole pitcher Dick Hall recalled: "To watch him pitch was amazing. It seemed like every time hitters took a pitch, it was right at the knees for a strike, and if they swung, it wasn't." Sports Illustrated said he had "the trickiest screwball since Carl Hubbell." In 2016, they said he had the fifth-best screwball of all time. Ken McMullen of the Angels said: "<mask>'s screwball is a pitch nobody else in baseball throws, and he can change speeds on it". "Miguel was a magician out there," said Oriole first baseman Boog Powell."He made hitters look comical, like they could have swung three times before the ball got there. A couple of times, I almost had to call time-out because I was laughing my head off." He tended to struggle early in a season, then pitch better as the weather got warmer. "Cold weather no good for baseball or me," he said. Usually he displayed a quiet personality and worked quickly on the mound, but struggles could occasionally cause him to lose his temper. Personal life
When <mask> joined the Orioles, he was in the process of breaking up with his wife, and he was struggling with debt. He divorced soon after he joined the team, and the Orioles helped rectify his financial issues.Shortly after joining Baltimore, he married Myriam, who would be his wife for the rest of his life. He had two children: Lydia and <mask>, Jr. The Toronto Blue Jays signed <mask>. as a minor league pitcher in 1978, and he spent five years in their organization, advancing as far as Double-A with the Knoxville Blue Jays. After his baseball career ended, <mask> resided in the Orlando, Florida, metropolitan area. He worked at a golf course, also helping out during Orioles' spring training each year. For a while, he was a pitching coach in Puerto Rico, and he served as an instructor for the Orioles in the latter years of his life. He also was a frequent attendee when the Orioles had team reunions.On April 2, 2010, <mask> died of stomach cancer at the Orlando Regional Medical Center. He was the third of the Orioles' four 20-game winners in 1971 to perish, following Dave McNally in 2002 and Pat Dobson in 2006. Only Jim Palmer survives them. Legacy
Along with Palmer and McNally, <mask> gave the Orioles one of the best starting rotations in history during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Blair recalled that "With <mask>, McNally, and Palmer, you could almost ring up 60 wins for us when the season started because each of them was going to win 20. And with <mask> and McNally, you never knew they were winning 10-0 or losing 0-10. They were the same guys.They were two really great left-handers, and the reason they were so great was they didn't have the talent Palmer had. They didn't have the 95-mile-per-hour fastball Palmer had. They had to learn to pitch, know the hitters, hit corners, and they did it. And they never complained. Those kind of guys, you just die for. You break your neck to go out there and win for them.” Palmer remembered him as "like an artist. He could paint a different picture every time he went out there.He could finesse you. He could curveball you to death or screwball you to death. From 1969 to ’74, he was probably the best left-hander in the American League.”

<mask> ranks among Baltimore's top five career leaders in wins (143, fourth behind Palmer's 268, McNally's 181, and <mask>'s 147), strikeouts (1,011, fifth), shutouts (30, third behind Palmer's 53 and McNally's 33) and innings pitched (fifth, 2,028). He trails only Dave McNally among left-handers in wins and shutouts. He is among the Orioles' single-season records in other categories, as well. His 24 wins in 1970 are tied for second-most behind Steve Stone's 25 in 1981, and <mask> holds two of the other top 10 win seasons as well (his 23 in 1969 are tied for sixth, and his 22 in 1974 are tied for ninth). He is one of four Orioles to make 40 starts in a season."Crazy Horse" was a nickname given Cuellar by his Oriole teammates because of his superstitious nature. Each game, he would sit in the same place on the team bench. He stayed in the dugout until his catcher put his gear on, refused to step on the foul line, and refrained from signing autographs on days he was pitching. In 1969, early success in games in which coach Jim Frey caught his pregame warmup pitches caused <mask> to insist that Frey catch his pregame warmups for the rest of the year. During a game against the Indians on May 26, 1972, <mask> twice refused to catch a baseball thrown to him. When Boog Powell finally got him to catch it on a third try, <mask> asked for a new ball, which he also refused to catch until Bobby Grich finally rolled it to the mound. When he forgot his lucky cap on a road trip to Milwaukee, the Orioles had it airmailed to him before Cuellar's start.In 1982, <mask> was inducted into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame. Columnist Harry Stein, in a 1976 Esquire magazine article, published an "All-Time All-Star Argument Starter" consisting of five ethnic baseball teams. <mask> was the left-handed pitcher on Stein's Latino team.

<mask> (born 3 March 1989) is a Scottish footballer, currently playing as a midfielder for Scottish League Two club Stenhousemuir. Career

Motherwell

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, <mask> began his football career with Motherwell. In the 2007–08 season, <mask> was an unused substitute on 23 April 2008 against Celtic and continued doing so the following season, as he appeared on the bench four more times. Loan move to Dumbarton

On 24 January 2009, <mask> was loaned out to Dumbarton, until the end of the season. At the club, <mask> was a key man in helping the club win the Scottish Football League Third Division championship. He scored his only goal in a 2–0 win for the Sons against Berwick Rangers on 11 April 2009. He hoped his good performances would earn him a first team place at Motherwell the following season.Return to Motherwell

<mask> made his first-team debut for Motherwell in the Europa League first qualifying round defeat against Llanelli on 2 July 2009, Jim Gannon's first match in charge. He scored 2 goals in the return leg of their second qualifying round match against KS Flamurtari Vlorë which Motherwell won 8–1 and another in the next qualifying round home match, a 1–3 loss against Steaua Bucharest. After scoring on his debut in the opening game of the season, he carried his good form into the league campaign, scoring five times in the opening 10 games, and was rewarded by being named SPL Young Player of the Month for August. <mask> was also rewarded by extending his contract until 2012. On 10 February 2010, <mask> had a goal ruled offside against his boyhood club, Rangers, which he described as the "goal of his dreams". The game ended in a 1–1 draw. In a match against Hibernian <mask> had the chance to equalise from a penalty kick with three minutes left, but it was saved by Graeme Smith, who had conceded the penalty in the first place.After the match, <mask> said he couldn't cope and move on following the missed penalty. Later in the season, under new manager Craig Brown, <mask> form dipped badly after a couple of months coming on as a sub without scoring. During this time he was often played out of position. In the 2010/11 season, <mask> started the season by scoring a curling free-kick in the Europa League second qualifying round match against Breiðablik in the first leg. Under new manager Stuart McCall, <mask> said he'd been given a second chance to show his talent, and that he was to blame for dropping out of the team. In the final of Scottish Cup, <mask> was an unused substitute, and this continued for the remainder of the matches played. After featuring just seven times for the club <mask> was released at the end of the 2011–12 season.Partick Thistle

After being released by Motherwell, <mask> was close to sealing a move to recently relegated Dunfermline Athletic and played as a trialist for former club Dumbarton in a Scottish First Division game against Partick Thistle. His performance earned him a six-month deal with Thistle on 5 September 2012, joining up with former team-mate Steven Lawless; and stating that joining the timing of the move was perfect. He made his debut for the club as a substitute for Aaron Taylor-Sinclair, in a 2–1 win over Cowdenbeath. A month later <mask> scored his first goal for the club, in a 7–0 victory over Airdrie United. His second goal came on 10 November 2012, in a 5–1 win over Dunfermline Athletic; in a match where he also provided an assist for Conrad Balatoni. After seven appearances and two goals <mask> signed a new contract until the end of the season in November 2012. At the end of the season, following the club's promotion to the SPL for the first time in nine years <mask> signed a one-year deal.Upon signing the new contract he said that Thistle had helped him get his career on track and brought back his love for playing football. In the 2013–14 season, <mask> made his first Scottish Premiership appearance since leaving Motherwell in a 0–0 draw against Dundee United on the opening day. <mask> scored his First Premiership goal for Partick Thistle against St Mirren, coming off the bench in a 2–1 comeback victory. Despite this however his playing time was limited. Dunfermline Athletic

On 31 January 2014, <mask> was released by Partick Thistle and signed for Scottish Second Division side Dunfermline Athletic on the same day. <mask> made an immediate impact by scoring on his debut in a 3–1 win over East Fife. Greenock Morton

In a swap deal with Andrew Barrowman, <mask> made the move to Greenock to sign for league rivals Greenock Morton.He signed a one-year extension in May 2015. At the end of his deal, <mask> agreed a two-year extension until summer 2018. <mask> was nominated by his peers for the Championship Player of the Year for 2016–17. He was also selected in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year. Return to Dumbarton
After leaving <mask> returned to Dumbarton, nine years after his loan spell with the club, in June 2018. His first goal back at the club was an injury time equaliser against Arbroath in August 2018. During the season <mask> was appointed club captain after Andy Dowie retired and scored 13 goals in 43 games — the best goal return of his career.Forfar Athletic
<mask> left Dumbarton for Forfar Athletic in May 2019. After making 27 appearances, scoring six times he left the club on deadline day 2020. Dumbarton (third spell)
<mask> returned for a third spell at Dumbarton in January 2020, signing an 18-month deal. Stenhousemuir
<mask> signed for Scottish League Two side Stenhousemuir in May 2021.

International career

In recognition of his good form at the start of the 2009–10 season, <mask> was called into the Scotland under–21s squad to play Belarus under-21s on 9 October 2009. Honours

<mask> (, October 3, 1904 – October 26, 1989) was an American organic chemist best known for describing methods of synthesizing crown ethers during his entire 42-year career as a chemist for DuPont at DuPont Experimental Station in Wilmington, Delaware and at DuPont's Jackson Laboratory in Deepwater, New Jersey. Often associated with Reed McNeil Izatt, <mask> also shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1987 with Donald J. Cram and <mask>-Marie Lehn. He is the only Nobel Prize laureate born in Korea other than Peace Prize laureate Kim Dae-jung. Early life and education

Born on October 3, 1904 in Busan, Korea, <mask><mask> was the youngest of three children. His father, <mask>, was a Norwegian marine engineer who immigrated to Korea in order to join the Korean customs service after leaving home due to family issues. Later, he worked as a mechanical engineer at the Unsan County mines in present-day North Korea. His Japanese mother, Takino Yasui, immigrated from Japan to Korea with her family and established a successful line of work by trading soybeans and silkworms located close to the Unsan County mines, where the couple ultimately met.Although not much is mentioned about his elder brother, who died of a childhood disease before <mask> was born, he had an older sister named Astrid, who was five years older than him. In Japan, he used the Japanese given name Yoshio (良男), which he spelled using the kanji for "good" and "man". According to <mask> in a separate autobiographical account of his childhood, he had been born prior to the Russo-Japanese War and because his mother had still been grieving over the then-recent death of his older brother, he did not feel welcomed as a child. Despite living in what is now South Korea, because <mask> lived in the vicinity of the American-owned Unsan County mines, which spanned approximately 500 square miles in area, he grew up speaking primarily English. At around 8 years old, <mask> was sent by his family to study abroad in Nagasaki, Japan and then later transferred to St. Joseph College in Yokohama, Japan. After successfully completing his education at St. Joseph College, due to the close ties his family had with the Society of Mary (Marianists), <mask> decided to attend college in America at the University of Dayton in Ohio. While spending his undergraduate life in 1922 studying chemical engineering at the University of Dayton in Ohio, <mask> had been a well balanced student who immersed himself in the sports, academic and social aspects of his college.With a passion for the sport of tennis, <mask> played on his school's varsity tennis team under Coach Frank Kronauge, a former University of Dayton tennis captain. Playing for all four years of his undergraduate years, <mask> became captain for both of his junior and senior seasons on the team. Furthermore, <mask> spent his time as both the Vice-President of the Engineers’ Club as well as in charge of Literary in the Daytonian Editorial Department. Graduating from the University of Dayton in 1926 with a degree in chemical engineering, he was dedicated for his time at the university as well as the various accomplishments he made while studying as an undergraduate. Earning a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, <mask> decided to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in order to obtain a master's degree in organic chemistry. Although his professors at the time encouraged him to stay and pursue a PhD in organic chemistry, <mask> decided to start his career instead, partially because he no longer wanted to be supported by his father. He is one of the few people to win a Nobel Prize in the sciences without having a PhD.Du Pont
After leaving the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, <mask> became employed at the DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware in 1927 through connections from his research advisor, Professor <mask>. Norris. While at DuPont, <mask> was able to begin research at the Jackson Laboratory under William S. Calcott and finished his career with DuPont at the Experimental Station in Wilmington, Delaware. As a young chemist at DuPont, <mask> witnessed and gained inspiration many flourishing chemists such as <mask> and Roy J. Plunkett, and also breakthroughs in polymers and work in the field of organic chemistry. <mask> had a particular interest in industry as he started his focus on his chemical career, which influenced the direction of problems he set out to solve as a chemist. As <mask> began working on problems as a new chemist, he was free to work on whatever problems fascinated him and he quickly became interested in oxidative degradation and stabilization of substrate. <mask>'s papers and work expanded beyond this, however it was a major influence to his eventual Nobel Prize awarded research. Retiring at the age of 65, his work resulted in 25 papers and 65 patents, and in 1967, he published two works describing the methods of synthesizing crown ethers (cyclic polyethers).The donut-shaped molecules were the first in a series of extraordinary compounds that form stable structures with alkali metal ions. In 1987, he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in this area with Donald Cram and <mask>-Marie Lehn, whom expanded upon his original discoveries. Discovery of the crown ethers
At around 1960, <mask> went back to research in the field of Coordination Chemistry, focusing on the synthesis of multidentate ligands. It was recommended by his colleague Herman Schroeder to work on the coordination chemistry of vanadium before working on the polymerization and oxidative catalytic activity of vanadium. It was while working on this research that <mask> made his discovery of crown ether. Through studying the bio[2-(o-Hydroxyphenoxy)Ethyl] ether, <mask> accidentally discovered an unknown substances described as a “goo” while purifying the compound. Using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy to study its reactions with phenol groups, after treating the samples with alkali, although the absorption curve initially showed no changes, it was observed to have shifted to higher absorption readings if one or more of the hydroxy groups were unpaired.Basing further research on this observation, <mask> then dipped the unknown product in methanol and sodium hydroxide. Although the solution was not soluble in methanol, it became alkaline when in contact with the sodium hydroxide. Due to not being soluble in methanol, <mask> then proceeded to treat the methanol with soluble sodium salts, to which the unknown substance became soluble, allowing him to conclude that the solubility was due to sodium ions instead of alkalinity. Since the behavior of this substance mirrored that of 2,3-benzo-1,4,7-trioxacyclononane, with twice the molecular-weight, the unknown molecule was then coined as dibenzo-18-crown-6, the first of the aromatic crown compounds discovered. Associations with other chemists

Reed M. Izatt
In 1968 Izatt was on a train ride home when he stopped in Chicago to meet with the physiologist George Eisenman who informed Izatt about <mask>'s paper on crown ethers published only months earlier. Izatt was looking forward to the possibilities of studying these crown ethers with his thermionic titration technique. Izatt called <mask> and was the first scientist not at DuPont to meet with <mask> about his discovery and <mask> supplied him with a sample of his new crown ether compound.Izatt's work on molecular recognition was greatly influenced by his interaction with <mask>. In Izatt's last visit with <mask> prior to his death in 1988 he found a personal letter written by <mask> that stated, “Most men achieve ‘Immortality’ through their progeny. I have no child of my own. Possibly, the crown ethers will serve, in a small way, to mark my footprint on earth” and Izatt believing this too shares <mask>'s message. Donald J. Cram
Cram shared the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with <mask> but expanding on <mask>'s monumental discovery in macrocyclic chemistry of crown ethers. <mask>'s work was in two-dimensional structures but Cram was able to synthesize similar molecules in three-dimensional space. Cram's synthesis of these three-dimensional molecules provided large gains in the production of enzymes made in labs as these structures have selectivity based on complementary structures.<mask>-Marie Lehn
Lehn was the other scientist who shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with <mask> and was fundamental in starting the field of Supramolecular chemistry. Lehn's work specifically identified in his recognition for the Nobel Prize was in his work on cryptands. Miscellaneous research
Although minimal research has been conducted on this compound, <mask> observed that it had potential to work as a deactivator for copper. Nevertheless, it was the first of the many metal deactivators, which function by converting an inactive complex from an otherwise catalytic metal ion. Personal life
<mask> was married to Susan J. Ault in 1947 and the couple then moved to Salem, New Jersey, where they resided until Ault died on February 8, 1983 at 72 years old. <mask> was diagnosed with myeloma in 1983, and though he was becoming increasingly frail, he traveled to Stockholm to accept the Nobel Prize in late 1987. Shortly thereafter, he was awarded a medal for excellence by the DuPont Research Fellows.He died on 26 October 1989 in Salem, New Jersey. Legacy
Following <mask>'s breakthrough in realizing his accidental product and structure of dibenzo-18-crown-6, huge advancements have been made in the fields of macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry. <mask> devoted the rest of his research career to studying these molecules and started one of the largest growths recently seen in a specific field of chemistry. This growth in <mask>'s field of work following his momentous discovery for macrocyclic compounds can be seen in the work of the 2016 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry for molecular motors where <mask>'s work allowed for the insight in how to create the molecular specific structures. The molecular machines were recognized as the focus of the 2016 Nobel Prize Winners, which were produced by connecting molecules to various molecular rings. Publications

<mask> (born 29 January 1948 as <mask>) is a Canadian businessman and musician. He is the founder and CEO of VitaPro Foods, a company that makes textured vegetable protein for use as a meat substitute and an apple pectin product called ProPectin, and is the founder of the Global Village Champions Foundation. He is a musician, songwriter, and music producer who had a stint as the lead singer of the garage rock band The Kingsmen in the 1960s. Early life
<mask> was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1948 to Arthur Falovitch and Ruth (née Reznick) Falovitch-Pickholtz. He grew up in the Jewish community of Montreal and had five siblings. Musical career
<mask> was singer and bass player of a band called The Footprints during 1966–1968. The band released three singles through Columbia and Capitol Records before breaking up.During 1968–1969, while the main band lineup was on hiatus, <mask> was the lead singer of the garage rock band The Kingsmen (a band most well known for their 1963 raucous hit rendition of Richard Berry's "Louie Louie"). In 1971, he recorded a rock opera entitled The Diary of Mr. Gray. In 1972, <mask> ran a record company. <mask> wrote the song "Christmas Time Again" that was performed by Engelbert Humperdinck on his 1977 album Christmas Tyme. In 1979, he produced performances of the 1974 sexually explicit musical play Let My People Come, in Montreal. VitaPro
<mask> is the CEO of VitaPro Foods Inc. It sells textured vegetable protein soy-based meat substitutes, primarily to prisons and other institutional feeding operations.According to an investigative report by the Montreal Gazette from October 1998, Global Village Market (GVM) was a venture owned by <mask> through which he sold VitaPro. According to an article published by UPI, GVM's shares were listed on the World Investors' Stock Exchange, which was part of an investment fraud carried out by the Caribbean-based First International Bank of Grenada. <mask> developed VitaPro in 1989 or 1990. It was originally a South African venture. According to the VitaPro website, the company now operates from Belize and Bulgaria. When asked about VitaPro earnings, <mask> said: "My company is terribly private in a bunch of countries. I'm a resident of the Bahamas.I don't pay tax. I'm not American. Let's say we do over a billion dollars in business. How much I earn is up to me. I give it to kids. I made a deal with God that whatever I save in tax, I give to kids." <mask> also owns another venture called ProPectin, a Bulgarian company he purchased in 2009 that manufactures a pharmaceutical-grade apple pectin, which <mask> credits for having cured his Type II diabetes.Global Village Champions Foundation

<mask> founded and heads the Global Village Champions Foundation. The foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States, with self-reported net assets for 2016 of about 7,000 and gross receipts of about 3,000. The foundation was especially active in 2013, for which it reported net assets of about 226,000 and gross receipts of about 835,000. The foundation, which is funded by the profits from his VitaPro food business, said it had supplied 772 million meals to the needy worldwide by April 2012 and had spent more than 1 million feeding and housing Syrian refugees in Bulgaria during 2012–2013. The foundation said it had supplied more than 1 billion meals to the needy by early 2015, based on its shipping documents and estimated portion sizes. He has befriended several boxing champions who have supported his charitable work. Retired champion boxer Evander Holyfield became Global Village Champions's "Goodwill Ambassador" in 2013.Retired boxer Muhammad Ali has also been his personal friend and has worked with <mask> on his humanitarian projects. After <mask>'s involvement in disaster relief in the Philippines, his foundation work has also received support from Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao. In an interview with The Jerusalem Post via Skype on July 2014, <mask> said  that he has provided lodging in Bulgaria for 782 refugees from the Middle East, mostly  from Syria, in two hotels he secured for 3 million. Degas bronzes
In 2010, <mask> obtained a set of 74 bronzes for the Global Village Champions Foundation that were created from plaster casts attributed to Edgar Degas. The legitimacy of the plasters, which were reportedly discovered in a foundry (Fonderie Valsuani) outside of Paris, has been questioned by experts, and some have intentionally omitted them in their published description of Degas's body of work. <mask> said he paid between 7 million and 20 million for the bronzes, although a dispute later broke out in which the seller said he had only actually received a payment 400,000 and that further payments had not been delivered. (The dispute was later settled under undisclosed terms.)Conditioned on the presumption that the bronzes were fully authenticated and made from Degas's own plasters, the bronzes were estimated as being worth 37 million by a New York dealer in an appraisal <mask> obtained in 2011 which the appraiser said was intended for <mask>'s private use only. In 2010, <mask> initially offered 50 of the sculptures as prizes in a raffle to raise money for the foundation, but later withdrew the plan to hold the raffle and shut down the web sites on which it was hosted. <mask> said the decision to cancel the raffle was in part based on seeing publications that questioned the legitimacy of the bronzes and that he had returned the money that had been raised in the raffle offering up to that point. Court cases
In 1982, <mask> was convicted of extortion from and conspiracy against John Royden McConnell, the man who financed the record company that he was running, and <mask> served 10 months of a 6-year prison term on the charges. In a 1982 civil case, a separate court ruled that <mask> had extorted money from McConnell, requiring a financial award of C$285,000. In 1987 he declared bankruptcy, voiding the award. <mask> said in an October 2013 Larry King interview that he had been a cocaine-addicted, twenty-something rocker at the time and credited the extortion conviction for changing his personal life.In 1998, <mask> was indicted on corruption charges related to a VitaPro contract worth 34 million with the Texas prisons. In 1999, the Texas Supreme Court ruled the VitaPro contract with the Texas prisons was invalid. After a trial in 2001, he was initially declared guilty, but the verdict was thrown out by a US district court judge and a new trial was ordered in 2007. He was then acquitted in 2008 after a bench retrial. <mask> said the charges were politically motivated. In 2014, <mask> filed  a defamation lawsuit against four Wikipedia editors, and then withdrew it after about a month. Personal life
<mask> is married to Yvette <mask>, formerly an appraiser at an art gallery in Sarasota, Florida.He is a resident of the Bahamas, and a part-time resident of the Sarasota area. He was previously married to Daveda M. Kert, with whom he had a daughter, Lelanea <mask>, who died suddenly in 2004 at the age of 35. References

title: Brian Cashman

texts:
<mask> (born July 3, 1967) is an American baseball executive for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. He has served as the General Manager and Senior Vice President of the Yankees since 1998. During <mask>'s tenure as general manager, the Yankees have won six American League pennants and four World Series championships. Cashman began working with the Yankees organization in 1986 as an intern while still in college. He was named assistant general manager in 1992, helping to run the team while owner George Steinbrenner was suspended from baseball. He succeeded Bob Watson as the team's general manager in 1998. Early life
<mask> was born in Rockville Centre, New York, and raised in Washingtonville, New York.He was raised in an Irish Catholic family, as the middle of five children born to Nancy and <mask>. He became a baseball fan at a young age, attending a summer camp hosted by Bucky Dent before starting high school. He grew up as a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. While visiting his grandmother in Florida, he served as a batboy for the Dodgers during spring training in 1982, with the help of former Dodger Ralph Branca, a family friend. The <mask> family moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where his father managed Castleton Farm, raising standardbreds for harness racing. Cashman described moving out of Washingtonville before starting high school as "the best thing to happen to [him], to get out of there." Cashman attended Lexington Catholic High School before moving to the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.He attended Georgetown Preparatory School in North Bethesda, Maryland, graduating in 1985. Cashman played baseball and junior varsity basketball at both schools, and added football in his senior year. <mask> was classmates with Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and two years after Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh. The Catholic University of America offered Cashman the opportunity to play college baseball for the Catholic Cardinals, competing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division III, guaranteeing him playing time as a freshman. He was a four-year starter at second base and the team's leadoff hitter. He set a school record for most hits in a season, which has since been broken. He earned a bachelor's degree with a major in history in 1989.New York Yankees (1986–present)
George Steinbrenner, the owner of the New York Yankees, met <mask> when he managed Pompano Park in Pompano Beach, Florida, and the two became friends. Through another family friend, John helped <mask> obtain a position with the Yankees organization as an intern in 1986. He worked in the minor league scouting department in the day, and worked security at night. After Cashman graduated from Catholic, the Yankees offered him a position as a baseball operations assistant, which he accepted. Steinbrenner was banned from baseball in July 1990 for hiring a gambler to investigate Dave Winfield. Gene Michael, then the Yankees' General Manager, took over daily operations of the Yankees, and Cashman played a role in assisting him. He was promoted to assistant farm director that year, and to major league administrator in 1991.Michael named Cashman an Assistant General Manager in 1992. He remained in the role after Bob Watson succeeded Michael as general manager in 1995. The Yankees won the 1996 World Series. General Manager (1998–present)

"Dynastic" years and success (1998–2005)

In February 1998, Watson resigned from the Yankees, and Cashman was named Senior Vice-President and General Manager. He agreed to a one-year contract for $300,000, and became the second-youngest general manager in MLB history. The Yankees won 114 games during the 1998 season, and won the 1998 World Series. In 1999, Cashman traded fan favorite David Wells to the Toronto Blue Jays to acquire Roger Clemens.The next year, he acquired David Justice, who won the American League Championship Series (ALCS) Most Valuable Player Award for his play in the 2000 ALCS. The Yankees won the 2000 World Series, making <mask> the first General Manager to win World Series titles in his first three years. In 2004, Cashman arranged the trade of Alfonso Soriano for Alex Rodriguez. Despite the team's success, Cashman considered leaving the Yankees in 2005 due to conflicts with Steinbrenner and organizational disputes between team officials in New York City and Tampa, Florida. The Washington Nationals were rumored to be interested in hiring Cashman, which would have brought him back to the city where he attended school. Instead, Cashman agreed to a new contract with the Yankees following the conclusion of the 2005 season which gave him more authority in personnel decisions and paid him an average of $1.3 million more over the following three years. Another championship (2006–2009)
With the increased authority, Cashman created a department of professional scouting, and tabbed Billy Eppler as its director.Later, Eppler would move on to become the General Manager of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. On September 30, 2008, <mask> signed a three-year contract to stay with the Yankees through the 2011 season. Following the 2008 season, when the Yankees failed to make the playoffs, Cashman signed CC Sabathia, A. J. Burnett, and Mark Teixeira to long-term free agent contracts and traded for Nick Swisher. These four players played a significant role in the 2009 Yankees season, culminating with a victory in the 2009 World Series. Post-Championship years and struggles (2010–2016)
The Yankees went on to make the playoffs again following the 2010 season, but lost to the Texas Rangers in the 2010 American League Championship Series. Following the 2010 season, Cashman held a hard line with Derek Jeter during contract negotiations, reportedly telling Jeter that he would prefer to have Troy Tulowitzki as the Yankees' starting shortstop, though a deal was eventually made for three years and $45 million. Yankees ownership agreed to sign Rafael Soriano in January 2011 without Cashman's approval.Cashman stated at Soriano's introductory press conference that he disagreed with the deal. The Yankees re-signed <mask> to a three-year contract in November 2011. During 2013, Alex Rodriguez composed a tweet, saying that he had been cleared to play by his doctors after his hip surgery. Cashman was not pleased about the tweet, claiming that the doctors did not give such authority to clear Rodriguez to play after seeking a second opinion with them, causing his faith and relationship with Rodriguez to be alienated. Cashman also wanted to trade Robinson Canó during the 2013 season, reasoning that they would be unable to re-sign him in the next offseason. Ownership prevented Cashman from exploring a trade. After the 2013 season, the Yankees signed Masahiro Tanaka, Jacoby Ellsbury, <mask>, and Carlos Beltrán to contracts that totaled $438 million.However, the Yankees missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year. On October 10, 2014, the Yankees signed <mask> to another three-year deal through the 2017 season. That offseason, <mask> prioritized restructuring the Yankees roster with younger players. He replaced the retired Jeter with Didi Gregorius and also acquired Nathan Eovaldi, both of whom improved during the season. In the 2016 season, he traded Carlos Beltrán to the Texas Rangers, Andrew Miller to the Cleveland Indians, and Aroldis Chapman to the eventual World Series Champion Chicago Cubs to bolster the Yankees farm system. "Baby Bombers" Era (2017–present)
In 2017, the Yankees made the postseason with rookie outfielder Aaron Judge and second-year catcher Gary Sanchez. The Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins in the 2017 American League Wild Card Game, and then went on to defeat the Cleveland Indians in the 2017 American League Division Series.Making their first appearance in the American League Championship Series since 2012, the Yankees lost to the Houston Astros in seven games, far outpacing the expectations of many analysts. Following the season, Cashman recommended to the owner Hal Steinbrenner that a managerial change was needed. Baseball America named Cashman their Executive of the Year after the season. On December 9, Cashman traded second baseman Starlin Castro and two prospects for Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. On December 11, 2017, Cashman signed a 5-year, $25 million contract with the Yankees to keep him as General Manager through 2022. If Cashman completes his new deal, he will become the longest-tenured General Manager in Yankees history. The 2018 season saw Cashman and the Yankees win 100 games.Despite a lopsided victory in the AL Wildcard game over the A's, New York would fall to their rivals: Boston  Red Sox in the Division Series. On April 7, 2019, <mask> won his 2,000th game as the Yankees general manager. In the 2019 season, the Yankees won 103 games despite having over 30 players on the injured list during the season, with the players accounting over $81 million unable to play at one point of time. During the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, the Yankees got off to an 8-1 start, and were 16-6 mid-August, before a seven-game losing streak. The team finished both August and September 14-13, which included a 1-7 stretch against the Baltimore Orioles, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, and New York Mets, before an 11-2 run, and finished the season 33-27, good for third-place in the East and a spot in the American League Wild Card Series, their 28th consecutive winning season. They won the series 2-0 against the Cleveland Indians, but lost the 2020 American League Division Series 3 games-to-two against the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2021, the Yankees rebounded to win 92 games, behind several winning streaks.Between August 14-27, the team won 13 consecutive games, their longest such streak since 1961. They ended the season on an 8-1 run between September 20-30, but lost two of their final three games, before falling to the Red Sox 6-2 in the Wild Card Game. Dealing with injuries throughout the year, Cashman traded for Anthony Rizzo and Joey Gallo in July. Honors

Cashman was named to Crain's New York Business 40 under 40 list for 1999. The Boston chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America selected Cashman as their MLB Executive of the Year for 2009. In 2010, Cashman was inducted into the Irish American Baseball Hall of Fame. Cashman was selected as Baseball Executive of the Year in 2017.Cashman was also involved in the developing of the video game MLB Front Office Manager. Personal life
Cashman lives in Darien, Connecticut. He and his wife, Mary, had two children, Grace and Theodore. Mary filed for divorce in February 2012; they had been reportedly separated for a year. The day prior, prosecutors charged a woman with stalking Cashman in an attempt to extort money regarding an extramarital affair. Cashman is a Kentucky Wildcats and New Jersey Devils fan. Cashman has referred to himself as an "adrenaline junkie".In December 2010, Cashman rappelled from a  building in Stamford, Connecticut, as part of an annual Stamford Christmas celebration. He jumped from an airplane with members of the United States Army Parachute Team to raise awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project, and broke his right fibula and dislocated his right ankle in the process. In November 2014, Cashman slept on a New York City sidewalk to raise awareness on behalf of homeless youth. Notes

<mask> (c. 1575 – 25 January 1627) is widely considered the first European apothecary in the region that would later become Canada, as well as the first European to farm in said region. He was born around 1575 at 129 de la rue Saint-Honoré in Paris to <mask> and Jacqueline Pajot. He married Marie Rollet on 19 February 1601 at the Church of Saint-Sulpice, Paris. In 1606, he accompanied his cousin-in-law, Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt et de Saint-Just, to Acadia, along with Samuel Champlain. He lived at Port-Royal (now Annapolis, in southern Nova Scotia) from 1606 to 1607 and from 1611 to 1613 when Port-Royal was destroyed by the English deputy governor of Virginia Samuel Argall. In 1617, with his wife, Marie Rollet, and their three children– Guillaume, aged three; Guillaumette, aged nine; and Anne, aged 14 – he left Paris forever to live in Quebec City. He died there 10 years later because of an injury that occurred when he fell on a patch of ice.Statues of <mask>, Marie Rollet, and their children are prominent in Parc Montmorency overlooking the St. Lawrence River in Quebec City. Early life

<mask> was born in Paris in 1575, the son of <mask> and Jacqueline Pajot. Nicolas was an apothecary with a practice in Paris. In the tradition of the day, <mask> followed in his father's profession. <mask> was trained in medical arts and science, becoming a specialist in pharmacology. It was from this that he developed what was to become a lifelong interest in plants and gardening. By 1600, <mask> was established in Paris as an apothecary and spice merchant.In 1601, he married Marie Rollet. Meeting with Champlain and Settling in New France
In 1604, <mask>'s cousin, Pierre du Gua, Sieur de Monts, led an expedition to l'Île Sainte-Croix in hopes of making a fortune in the fur trade. The expedition's first winter was very hard. There was a shortage of fresh water and firewood, and 36 of the 80 expedition members died of scurvy. In the following summer of 1605, the expedition relocated across the bay at Port-Royal (today known as Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia). In 1606, <mask> joined the expedition, now located at Port-Royal. As a pharmacist, he was interested in plants and enjoyed horticulture, seeming to possess a "green thumb", growing hemp and other plants.He was highly regarded, and particular note was made of his knowledge and pleasure in cultivating the land. He participated in the construction of a grist-mill on the Allain River near present-day Annapolis Royal. Experimental farming activities were conducted, with various grains seeded in the local fields. He looked after the health of the pioneers, and cultivated native drug plants introduced to him by the Micmac Indians. He returned to France in 1607, after the trade concession that had been granted to the de Monts expedition had expired. In 1610, <mask> returned to Port-Royal with Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt. It has been claimed that a few months later his wife joined him and became one of the first French women to come to New France, but the claim has not been documented.<mask> continued his agricultural interests, sowing wheat and planting vines. The colony at Port-Royal seemed to take root, but in 1613 it was destroyed by the English coming up from Virginia. The French colonists returned to France, and <mask> established a medical practice and apothecary shop (pharmacy) in Paris. At this time, Quebec was a settlement of some fifty white men who were all transient soldiers, fur trappers, or missionaries. The economy of the settlement was dependent on some 20,000 beaver pelts that were annually returned to French merchants in exchange for supplies. The "Compagnie du Canada", made up of merchants from Rouen, St-Malo, and La Rochelle, had a trading monopoly that controlled the fur trade in Quebec. Champlain, who founded Quebec in 1608, saw a desperate need for medical service and agricultural self-sufficiency for Quebec.Champlain had met <mask> during the earlier expedition to Port-Royal, and had recognized <mask>' outstanding qualities. Champlain approached <mask> with an offer from the "Compagnie du Canada". He had met <mask> when they were both in Acadia. They mutually respected each other. Compagnie du Canada and Permanent Settlement in Quebec

Champlain spent the winter of 1616–1617 in Paris searching for support for his colony of Quebec. <mask> was allured, believing there would be promising opportunities for him in the St. Lawrence Valley. The Compagnie du Canada made Hébert an offer: If he would take his family to Quebec for three years and practice medicine in the settlement and establish farming, the company would pay him an annual salary of 600 livres (pounds) and grant him ten acres of land at the settlement on which to build his house and farm.<mask> agreed to the terms and signed the contract. <mask> sold his practice and his home, and proceeded with his wife, son, and two daughters to the port of Honfleur, France. When he arrived, <mask> was told by the ship's master that instructions from the Compagnie du Canada were that they could only board if <mask> agreed to sign a new contract with the company. The new provision reduced his annual salary to 300 livres per year, required him to serve as the physician and surgeon at the settlement, and required him to farm ten acres of land and give the company exclusive right to buy all of his agricultural products at the prevailing price in France. Having already sold his house and left his practice, <mask> reluctantly accepted and signed the new contract. On April 11, 1617, <mask> and his family left Honfleur aboard the Saint-Étienne (captained by Normand Morin) and arrived in Quebec on 15 July. Only five other French families were to follow them on similar voyages to New France in the next 10 years.In the spring of 1617 <mask> became the first private individual to receive a grant of land in the New World from the French government. Upon his arrival in Quebec, <mask> selected ten acres on a site that is today located in the city of Quebec between Ste-Famille and Couillard Streets, on the grounds of the Seminary of Quebec and Basilica of Notre-Dame. Soon afterwards, <mask> started clearing out some old-growth forest so he could plant crops. This put him in conflict with the fur trading company, who was strongly opposed to deforestation for farming because of its adverse effect on the fur business. <mask> had to work very hard, doing all the work by hand. The fur trading company would not let him import a plough from France. On this land, <mask>, his son Guillaume, and an unnamed servant with the help of only an axe, a pick and a spade, broke the soil and raised corn, winter wheat, beans, peas, and livestock including cattle, swine, and fowl.He also established an apple orchard and a vineyard. In 1621, his daughter Guillemette married Guillaume Couillard, who joined the family business. By 1620, <mask>' hard work was finally recognized as having been of great service to the colony: for being the physician and surgeon; for being its principal provider of food; and for having fostered good relationships with the natives. He was appointed Procurator to the King, which allowed him to personally intervene in matters in the name of the King. In 1623, <mask> became the first "Seigneur" of New France when he was granted the fief of "Sault-au-Matelot". In 1626 he was further granted "le fief de la rivière St-Charles" in recognition of his meritorious service. His Death

<mask> died on January 25, 1627 from injuries suffered after slipping on ice.The colony held a funeral for its first colonist. <mask> was as respected by the Native Americans as he was by the other Frenchmen. He was first buried in the cemetery of the Recollets, but in 1678 his remains inside his cedar coffin were transported to the newly built vault of the Recollets (the Franciscans) with the remains of brother Pacifique Duplessis. <mask> was the first to be laid to rest in this new structure. Descendants

At the beginning of 1800, <mask> and Marie Rollet had 4,592 descendants married in Quebec, according to the PRDH (Historical Demography Research Program) of the Université de Montréal, making the couple the tenth most important one in French-Canadian ancestry at that time. Given the migratory routes of French-Canadians, their descendants thus live mainly in Canada (especially Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba), but also in communities in New England, upstate New York, and the Midwest (especially Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota). <mask> and Marie Rollet had two daughters, Anne and Guillaumette, and one son, Guillaume.Guillaume married Hélène Desportes, said to be the first white child born in New France. Guillaume and Hélène had a daughter, Françoise Hébert, and a son, Joseph who married Marie-Charlotte de Poytiers in 1660. Joseph and Marie-Charlotte had a single son, Joseph in 1661, born while his father was captured and killed by the Iroquois. As there is no further mention of this boy, he is presumed to have died as a small child, and there were no other children. Granddaughter Françoise Hébert married Guillaume Fournier, which ended the surname Hébert descended from <mask>. However, some descendants of <mask> and Marie Rollet may also share the name Hébert through marriage of female descendants with other men named Hébert as there were several other male Hébert immigrants to New France or Acadia with male descendants. As their first child, daughter Anne died in her first pregnancy, the descendants of <mask> and his wife Marie Rollet arise from their second child, daughter Guillaumette, and her husband Guillaume Couillard; or from their granddaughter Françoise Hébert (child of son Guillaume) and her husband Guillaume Fournier.See René Jetté, Dictionnaire généalogique des familles du Québec des origines à 1730, Montréal, Les Presses de l'Université de Montréal, 1983, pp. 561–562. See also Robert Prévost, Portraits de familles pionnières, Montréal, Éditions Libre Expression, 1993, Tome 1, pp. 149–154. Lasting Recognition in Canada

<mask> overcame the hardships and became the first European in the territory that would later become Canada to support his family from the soil. He imported from France the first ox to pull a plough in Canada, but unfortunately, the first plough did not arrive until a year after his death. Jacques Lacoursière noted that Hébert had many firsts.He was the first colonist of Quebec, first colonist to live off the land, his daughter Anne's marriage to Étienne Jonquet in 1617 was the first in New France, and he was the first lord of New France. When English corsairs David Kirke and his brothers took possession of Quebec, <mask>'s family did not leave, but waited out the three years until Quebec was returned to France. Marie Rollet quietly remarried, to Guillaume Hubou, two years after <mask>' death. After the three year occupation by the English, Champlain asked her to move to Quebec and <mask>' house became a residence for Native youth entrusted to the Jesuits for their education. There is a monument to <mask> in Montmorency Park that symbolizes the importance of <mask> and his family in the beginnings of Quebec. On top is <mask> holding a sheaf of grain (wheat or barley) in one hand and a sickle in the other. On one side of the base, Marie Rollet clasps her three children in her arms.On the other, son-in-law Guillaume Couillard has a plough in hand. References

Elizabeth "<mask>" <mask> (born June 9, 1988) is a Canadian retired ice hockey goaltender. She ranks second all-time among Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) goaltenders for games played and won the Clarkson Cup in 2018. An outspoken leader among players, she served as chair of the CWHL Player's Association and was a founding board member of the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) after the collapse of the CWHL. After her retirement from playing in 2019, she continued to serve as a board member with the PWHPA until resigning in September 2020 to make way for Sarah Nurse. Playing career

Ontario University Athletics
<mask> attended Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) in Waterloo, Ontario, and went on to become one of the most decorated players in Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks women's ice hockey program history. 2006–07
Heading into the 2006–07 season, she joined a squad that featured established goalie Morgan Wielgosz and had won three consecutive Ontario University Athletics (OUA) championships, as well as the 2004–05 Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national championship (CIS is now known as U Sports). <mask> generally split Laurier's goaltending minutes with Wielgosz as a collegiate rookie, featuring in 12 regular season games.She made her unofficial debut with 38 saves in a 2–1 exhibition win over NCAA Division I team Ohio State on September 30, 2006, and her official one two weeks later in a 5–2 victory against Windsor. Other highlights included a 2–1 win over the Queen's Golden Gaels in a battle of teams ranked in the national top five on November 4, 2006. In that contest, <mask> stopped a Golden Gaels penalty shot in overtime before Laurier's Laurissa Kenworthy grabbed the winning goal 13 seconds later. <mask> went on to pick up her first career shutout against Windsor three weeks later. Wielgosz, however, received most of the work through the OUA and CIS playoffs, though <mask> did see action three times in the postseason – very briefly in an OUA championship win (Laurier's fourth straight league title) over Queen's while Wielgosz addressed an equipment issue, then more significantly in relief during a loss to the University of Alberta Pandas that eliminated the Golden Hawks from CIS national championship contention, and finally during a CIS third-place game loss to the University of Manitoba. 2007–2011
By her second year, <mask> emerged as the regular starter, a status she would retain for the rest of her time at Laurier. After taking an uncharacteristic loss early in the season to Guelph (she would drop just seven regular season decisions during her entire WLU career), <mask> rebounded with a run of shutouts – five by the end of November – including one against a nationally-ranked University of Toronto team.Those shutouts were part of a 14-game Laurier unbeaten streak that didn't end until December 29, 2007 against, in a bit of foreshadowing, powerhouse McGill University. <mask> and WLU picked right back up from there however, with the team plowing through CIS competition to the tune of a 25–3–2 regular season record and the goalie posting a 17–2–1 mark with a 0.945 save percentage and an 0.97 goals against average. As good as <mask> was during the regular season, she was even better during the OUA and CIS playoffs. While the Golden Hawks won their first six post-season games (including sweeps of Queen's and Toronto en route to a fifth straight OUA title), the results were generally hard-earned. <mask>, in fact, had to be perfect in the clinching games of both OUA series with 16 and 20 saves, respectively, as both ended with 1–0 scorelines. On March 10, 2010, <mask> became the first Golden Hawks player in the history of the women's program to win the Brodrick Trophy, the CIS Player of the Year award. On September 23, 2016, <mask> was inducted into WLU's Golden Hawk Hall of Fame.Professional

First CWHL stint
Following graduation, <mask> was selected 18th overall in the 2011 CWHL Draft by the Brampton Thunder, part of a fruitful class for the team that also included Courtney Birchard, Tara Gray and Vicki Bendus. Almost immediately, she became the workhorse goalie for the Thunder, playing in 20 of 27 regular season games and helping Brampton to an 18–7–2 and a robust third-place finish in the standings. For <mask>, notable milestones included her first professional win on October 29, 2011 against Team Alberta (now known as the Calgary Inferno) and her first shutout, on March 4, 2012 against a loaded Boston Blades team that included several United States national team regulars like Kelli Stack, Gigi Marvin and Kacey Bellamy. AWIHL
For the 2013-14 season, <mask> joined the Melbourne Ice women's hockey club of the Australian Women's Ice Hockey League (AWIHL) and became half of a formidable tandem with Australian national team goaltender Jodie Walker. During the AWIHL's short regular season (the league only has four teams, with each playing four games per opponent), <mask> played in eight of 12 games (winning all eight), and posted a dominant 1.00 goals against average with a 0.964 save percentage to help the Ice to a first-place finish in the standings, with 38 of a possible 42 points. She was even better in the league final against the Adelaide Adrenaline, posting consecutive 32-save shutouts in 2–0 victories to help the Ice to their third AWIHL title. Including the pair of contests in the final, <mask> ended the year with a shutout streak of 207:17 – all against the Adrenaline, as her last three regular-season appearances were also against Melbourne's eventual championship opponent – and led the league in most major statistical categories including wins, goals against average and save percentage.Return to the CWHL
<mask> won the Clarkson Cup on March 25, 2018 with the Markham Thunder. The team had relocated from Brampton that season, and the CWHL had also expanded to seven teams (from five) with the addition of two teams based in Shenzhen, China. In 2019, <mask> ranked second among all CWHL players in an online vote, gaining the opportunity to serve as a captain at the 4th Canadian Women's Hockey League All-Star Game. PWHPA
When the CWHL announced its collapse in May 2019, <mask> was one of the leading players in the scramble to organise a response, culminating in the formation of the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association. In September 2020, <mask> announced her resignation from the board of the PWHPA to ensure that Sarah Nurse, one of the few black players in the PWHPA, could have a seat on the board. <mask> remains an advisor to the PWHPA and has called for the organisation to do more to combat racism in hockey. International

Winter Universiade
During her final season at Laurier, <mask> was selected to compete for Team Canada at the 2011 Winter Universiade in Erzurum, Turkey, along with two of her Golden Hawks teammates – defenceman Alicia Martin and forward Candice Styles.The 2011 tournament was just the second time that the biennial Universiade included women's ice hockey, and <mask> helped Canada successfully defend its gold medal from 2009. She appeared in four of Canada's seven games, winning all four, and was among the tournament leaders in most statistical categories including goals against average (0.80, good for second among qualifying goaltenders) and save percentage (.921, also second). Two of <mask>'s four games were routs, as she saw just four shots in a 14–0 win against Great Britain and played the first two periods of an 8–1 victory over the United States in the semifinals. Her defining outings were her first and last of the tournament, both against a Finland squad packed with stars from the senior Finnish women's national ice hockey team, including Anne Helin, Saara Tuominen Niemi, Anniina Rajahuhta, Venla Hovi and Anna Vanhatalo, all of whom had been a part of the bronze medal team at the 2010 Winter Olympics prior to the 2011 Universiade. During the round robin stage of the tournament, on January 27, 2011, <mask> and Vanhatalo engaged in a classic goaltending duel. Hovi gave the Finns a 1–0 lead midway through the contest before Mariève Provost answered on the power play with 1:29 left in regulation to force overtime. After a scoreless five-minute extra period, things proceeded to a shootout.There, <mask> denied all five shooters she faced, including Helin and Sari Kärnä twice each, and Tuominen once. Vanhatalo matched her save for save until Canada's fifth shooter, Ellie Seedhouse, gave her side the victory. The teams met once again in the gold medal match, although things were a bit less dramatic there, as Canada jumped out to a 3–0 lead early in the second period and cruised to a 4–1 win, helped in part by 20 <mask> saves.

The stated goal of the 12 Nations Tournament was to enhance the competitive level of developing women's hockey countries ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics and accordingly, no medals were awarded. Canada went 4–2–0 in the round-robin-style showcase, with <mask> playing twice and winning both of her games. On August 25, 2011, she had an easy outing against Russia, making 15 saves in a 16–1 blowout.Five days later, <mask> made 16 stops as Canada pulled off yet another dramatic win over Finland by a 3–2 score. In that contest, Finland carried a 2–1 lead past the halfway point of the third period before goals by Meghan Agosta and Jennifer Wakefield, the latter with 2:00 remaining, flipped the result.
