Madison Blues Hoodie - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - WisconsinThe Madison Blues, based in Madison, Wisconsin, were founded in 1923 by the Madison Athletic Association and spent nearly two decades working their way up through Wisconsin's minor league ladder. They started as an independent club, joined the Wisconsin Illinois League in 1926, moved to the Wisconsin State League (1928 31 and 1934 37), and won the Tri State League championship in 1938 over the Sheboygan Chairmakers.

The Madison Blues, based in Madison, Wisconsin, were founded in 1923 by the Madison Athletic Association and spent nearly two decades working their way up through Wisconsin's minor league ladder. They started as an independent club, joined the Wisconsin-Illinois League in 1926, moved to the Wisconsin State League (1928-31 and 1934-37), and won the Tri-State League championship in 1938 over the Sheboygan Chairmakers. In 1940 they stepped up to the Class B Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League, the highest level the franchise ever reached.

Their Three-I seasons were played out against the backdrop of wartime. The Blues went 61-62 in 1940 (sixth place), 52-71 in 1941 (seventh place), and 55-62 in 1942 as a Chicago Cubs affiliate, that final season making the playoffs before losing to the Cedar Rapids Cubs 3-0 in the finals. All three seasons were played at Breese Stevens Field, a brick grandstand on Madison's east side that had become the first sports facility in Wisconsin with electric lights when floodlights were installed in 1931. Warren Spahn, later the Hall of Fame left-hander and winner of 363 major league games, pitched against the Blues in 1941 as a member of the visiting Evansville Bees. Jesse Owens, the four-time gold medalist from the 1936 Berlin Olympics, ran exhibition races at the field in 1938 during a Blues home game.

The 1942 season was the Blues' last. Wartime demands on players and resources depleted the league's rosters, and Madison did not return. When the Three-I reorganized for 1946, the Davenport Cubs took the slot Madison had vacated, and the Blues identity never came back.

The Three-I League (also known as the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League) was a Class B circuit that ran from 1901 through 1961, with pauses for World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. Though rooted primarily in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, the league also drew clubs from Missouri, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota as its core membership contracted in later years.

Paradigm Shifting Information!
Format: Kindle
I met and heard Jack Frost teach on this subject matter back in 1998 and 1999. It was profound revelation that began a healing process for those of us in the audience. People can only give out what was put in them. Children who were neglected in any way, verbally put down, emotionally hurt, negatively impacted, and/or abused by either parent, or both parents have a brokenness in their spirit that continues into adulthood. If that brokenness is allowed to linger those adults have children and carry on the same patterns in similar fashion. Self worth is eroded by experiences that create a self belief that we are unlovable or non deserving of a Heavenly Father's embrace of love and acceptance just the way we are which in turn promotes lasting change. Jack Frost was incredibly articulate in his teachings of the truth from God's word about how God really feels about us. Even if someone had great parents, the enemy is so cunning and very deceptive to plant thoughts of doubt and unbelief in a persons mind that hinders the truth about experiencing the Heavenly Father's embrace. I'm so glad that the family and ministry of Jack Frost put his teachings in books for the world to read and learn the truth. Jack has passed away but his words live on and our recorded in his books. I highly recommend all his books if only for gaining a fresh new perspective and insight. His teachings will always be relevant and current because the subject matter is always on going.

Power and personal exposition of God's love as Father
Format: Kindle
Frost draws heavily upon his own personal experiences yet he founds his words upon Scripture. There are a few points where i would question his exegesis. Nonetheless he teaches the wonderful truth that God is our Heavenly Father who deeply loves us. He contrasts this with the lie that he is a distant angry God who is not interested in our lives on an individual level. This is a great book for anyone who grew up with a less than ideal father because how your father treated you will shape how you view God.

Life changing truth - helped me tremendously!
Format: Paperback
This book has principles I have never heard taught anywhere else. They have changed my life as I incorporate them into my heart and mind. One of the most powerful is that you already have all the love your heart is looking for. You simply need to learn how to receive it. You have the Holy Spirit and He is the Source of all love. So simple, yet so profound and life changing. Teach your soul how to receive His love and you will notice a huge difference in your mindset, your emotions, your enjoyment of life, etc. I've read this book twice in order to really try to get this truth inside me. I have bought many copies of this book and given them to friends who also say that it has changed their life. I highly recommend it. God's love is something we all long for deeply, yet we hear such little teaching on. You can also get some of the author's teachings on CD at his web site: [...] He has graduated to his heavenly reward, but his wife continues his ministry today.
