Bedford Central School District hosts fun fitness event.
They gathered in "waves" at the starting line. Twenty-five eager racers sitting on their bicycles waiting for the signal to start, and then they were off-- following a course through the parking lot of Fox Lane Middle and High Schools. After four laps, they got off their bikes and headed for the track to walk as much as a mile before completing their race, their times tracked by microchips in each athlete's bib. The process repeated until all of the 320 participants in the Elementary Bike Run 2012 had finished. The racers, grades K-5, were from the district's five elementary schools and raced by age group. "These are two traditional kids activities. They don't need coaching or teams to participate" said event chair Christina Dochtermann, …

Teams from both leagues would not play each other in a game that counted until the World Series, each league had their own governing body and umpires, and there were even differences in the rules like a change in the strike zone. During interleague play when a game takes place in a National League ballpark, the American League team is expected to have their pitcher hit, and when the American League team is home, the National League team must use a designated hitter. The DH rule has been debated ever since it was first used in the American League in 1973 but during interleague play every team gets a chance to allow their pitcher …
