La święconka (pronunciato  [ɕfjɛnˈt͡sɔnka], letteralmente "benedizione dei cesti pasquali") è una tradizione polacca che si svolge durante il sabato santo in occasione della Pasqua. Di antiche origini, essa viene osservata anche dagli emigrati polacchi e dai loro discendenti negli Stati Uniti, in Canada, nel Regno Unito, in Irlanda, in Svezia e in altre aree del mondo dove è presente la diaspora polacca.

Origini
Rilevata sin dall'epoca altomedievale nella società cristiana, la święconka ha forse origine da un rito pagano. Pare che la tradizione intesa nella sua forma base risalga al VII secolo, mentre la versione più moderna contenente pane e uova (simboli della risurrezione e di Cristo) risalirebbe al XII secolo.

Usanze

Durante il sabato santo i cestini contenenti un assaggio di cibi pasquali vengono portati in chiesa per essere benedetti. Il cesto è tradizionalmente foderato con un tovagliolo di lino bianco o di pizzo e decorato con rametti di bosso (in polacco bukszpan), il tipico sempreverde pasquale.

Mentre in alcune comunità più rurali il sacerdote visita le case dei fedeli per benedire i cibi, gran parte dei polacchi e dei polaccoamericani si recano in chiesa per pregare presso la tomba del Signore (la quattordicesima e ultima stazione della Via Crucis). Le preghiere di benedizione si suddividono in tre parti e sono rivolte specificamente ai vari contenuti dei cestini: vi sono infatti preghiere speciali per la carne, per le uova, per i dolci e per il pane. Infine, il sacerdote o il diacono asperge i singoli cesti con acquasanta, tradizionalmente usando una spazzola di paglia oppure per mezzo di una bacchetta in metallo.

In alcune parrocchie le ceste sono allineate su lunghe tavole, mentre in altre i parrocchiani si incamminano davanti all'altare portando i loro cesti, come se fossero in fila per la Comunione. Le generazioni più anziane di polaccoamericani, discendenti dell'emigrazione dell'inizio del XIX secolo, tendono a benedire quantità di pasti interi, spesso portati nelle sale delle chiese o nelle mense in grandi cesti.

Ogni cibo contenuto nei cesti ha un significato simbolico: ad esempio le uova simboleggiano la vita e la risurrezione di Cristo, il pane rappresenta il corpo di Gesù, l'agnello rappresenta Cristo, il sale la purificazione, il rafano il sacrificio e il prosciutto è simbolo di grande gioia e abbondanza.

Il cibo benedetto nella chiesa rimane intatto secondo le tradizioni locali fino al sabato pomeriggio o alla domenica mattina.

The Cincinnati Reds of 2010 rebound well. The team is like the 76ers legend, "the round mound of rebound." Beginning last week in first and ending the week in first is a good thing, despite the poor performance against the Cardinals. Overshadowed by the big series against the Cards with the brawl and all was the key addition of outfielder, Jim Edmonds. It is nice seeing #15 in a Reds uniform. So let's talk numbers, not statistics but jersey numbers.
I have always been fascinated by jersey numbers. I'm sure collecting baseball cards contributed to this fascination. So when I saw Edmonds wearing #15 it reminded me of other Cincinnati players to wear the number. World Series champion, Glen Braggs wore #15 while breaking bats over his back in 1990. Lefty, Denny Naegle, wore #15 in the late nineties. George Foster is the most decorated Red to wear #15. This Big Red Machine slugger was the National League MVP in 1977 and his number should retired as a Red. All this jersey number interest motivated me to look up some facts about retired numbers.
Nine Hall of Fame baseball legends have their respective jersey numbers retired by two or more Major League teams. Frank Robinson's number 20 is retired by our very own Cincinnati Reds and the Baltimore Orioles. Baseball's true "Homerun King," Hank Aaron, has his number 44 retired by the Atlanta Braves and the Milwaukee Brewers. Carlton Fisk has his number 27 retired as a Boston Redsox and his number 72 is retired as a Chicago Whitesox. Rod Carew has his number 29 retired as a Minnesota Twin and a Los Angeles of Anaheim Angel. Reggie Jackson started with the Oakland Athletics and his number 9 is retired there. He earned his "Mr. October" nickname as a New York Yankee and his number 44 is retired in "the House that Ruth built." Ace reliever Rollie Fingers, an Ohio native, has his number 34 retired by both the Milwaukee Brewers and the Oakland Athletics. Legendary manager of the New York Yankees and New York Mets Casey Stengel, has his number 37 lovingly retired by both franchises. Nolan Ryan has his number retired by three teams. First gaining his control as flame thrower in an Angel uniform, "The Express" has his number 30 retired there. The Houston Astros also have his number 34 retired. The native Texan also has his number 34 retired in Arlington as a Texas Ranger. Finally, we come to the race man out of UCLA, Jackie Robinson. For his duties served as the first African American baseball player, Jackie Robinson has his number 42 retired respectively by all 32 major league baseball teams. A tremendous honor bestowed upon a man we all wish could have been alive to witness such dedication to his accomplishments on and off the field of play.
Jackie Robinson's legacy was celebrated in 1997 on the 50th anniversary of his breaking the color barrier as a Brooklyn Dodger. From that point on no major leaguer has been permitted to wear the number 42 on his jersey, unless they already had the number before 1997. Future Hall of Fame member, closer Mariano Rivera, still wears 42 on his jersey because he was wearing the number before 1997. He has been "grandfathered in," permitted to wear the number until his retirement. Rivera is the only current player in major league baseball to still wear the number 42. He will be the last and his number will eventually be retired as a New York Yankee. The number 42 will be no more...
"You gotta' know this;" one current Hall of Fame member had his number 42 retired as well. He was a closer also. Once Rivera has his number retired, there will be only three players who have had their number 42 enshrined into baseball lore. Enjoy the research and find out for yourselves...
A GREAT SEASON
Joey Votto and The Cincinnati Reds are off to a great season this year. Possibly a division title! Though it is a total team effort, it takes a great season by an individual player to spark such great team accomplishments. Votto inspired me to look back at other great Reds from past seasons to put his season of 2010 in perspective. I looked up individual seasonal stats of Rose, Robinson, Parker, Griffey Junior, and other great Reds' players. That is when I stumbled across another "You Gotta' Know This."
Pete Rose is my favorite player of all time, but growing up I wanted to be just like Eric Keith Davis. A combination of such speed and power in the field and on the base paths. Davis could hit the ball over the fence as well as rob an opponent of a home run with his magical Gold Glove skills. Back in the day, my neighborhood buddies and I made up a game called, "Eric Davis." We would lob baseballs over a five-foot tall wooden fence and try to rob home runs just as Eric did many times while patrolling center field at Riverfront Stadium. His majestic home run to straight away center field in the first inning during game one of the 1990 World Series solidifies him as being an all-time great Red. Though the ball landed un-catchable, the only person capable of catching it had hit it. He was, for a brief time, superman without a cape. That is how I remember him. So I looked up his stats.
Mr. Davis was drafted in the 8th round of the 1980 MLB draft as a skinny high school shortstop out of Los Angeles, California by the Cincinnati Reds. The farm system developed him into a center fielder winning awards at every level in the minors. He played 57 games in the show during 1984 starting sparingly in the outfield. He came back in 1985, learning the ropes under manager Pete Rose, for 86 games showing potential. That potential finally paid dividends as he became the every day starting center fielder for The Cincinnati Reds midway through the 1986 season. What a season that was to become. Perhaps the best season of his extraordinary career.
The most games Eric Davis ever played in a season was the 135 games he played in 1988. He played with such reckless abandon in the field and on the base paths that his concern for his own health came in second to the teams' accomplishments. Crashing into outfield walls and diving into bases was the way he excelled at the highest level. It cost him hundreds of games over the course of his courageous 17 year career. It was his style of play. The season of 1986 was his coming out party. Though he didn't attain a starting everyday position in the line up until June of 1986, he put together a season that was one for the ages. His stat line for that first season as a starter included 27 homers and 80 stolen bases. Davis accomplished this feat while appearing in only 132 ballgames. He had just 415 at-bats.
There has been only one other player in Major League history to have 25 plus home runs and 80 plus stolen bases in one season. It took the Hall of Famer, Rickey Henderson, 153 games and 608 at bats to attain 28 homers and 87 stolen bases in a single season. That season just happened to be 1986 as well. What a great year for Baseball. Just think what "44 Magnum" could have done with the 193 more at bats Henderson had during that year of 1986. One can only imagine. The question of, "What if?" has always followed Mr. Davis due to injuries.
The very next season, 1987, "Eric The Red" became the 7th player to reach the 30/30 club with 37 dingers and 50 stolen bases. He came to that plateau on August 2nd, the earliest any player has ever made that mark. He was on pace to become the first 40/40 man but he collided with a brick wall at Wrigley Field in early September and missed 17 games because of his reckless effort. So who was to become the first 40/40 man....? Do you think he cheated?
The Cincinnati Reds franchise has had several versatile players over the years. Players who could play several different positions contributing to the team concept. Cincinnati Reds players such as Lenny Harris, Bip Roberts, Chris Stynes, and Ryan Freel come to mind. They could play in the outfield as well as in the infield. It all depended on what the team required them to do. It sure does help out the skipper of a major league team to have that sort of flexibility on their twenty-five man roster. One former Cincinnati Red helped out his respective skippers more often than any other major leaguer in the history of the game.
Robinson says, "You gotta' know this;" Cincinnati native, Peter Edward Rose, is the only player in major league history to have played more than 500 games at five different positions. Over the course of his 24 year career, Charlie Hustle played 628 games at second base. He won the Rookie of the Year award manning second base in 1963. Pete also played in right field for 595 games. He won his only two Gold Gloves as a right fielder in 1969 and 1970. Rose then moved to left field in the early stages of the Big Red Machine era for 671 games. He won his only National League Most Valuable Player Award in 1973 as a left fielder. In order to make room for a young George Foster, Pete jumped back into the infield as a third baseman for his manager Sparky Anderson. The Hit King played 634 games at third while helping solidify back to back World Series championships in 1975 and 1976. Mr. Red then moved on to Philadelphia as a free agent. Since the Phillies already had a young superstar third baseman, Michael Jack Schmidt, Pete began another journey. This time it was at first base. Pete led the Phillies to their first World Series title as a first sacker in 1980. He went on to end his career as a first baseman playing 939 games there for Philadelphia, Montreal, and back again in Cincinnati where he was eventually to be crowned as the "Hit King."
All of this versatility made me wonder; "Have there been any players who have won MVP awards at two different positions?" After extensive research, I found out that it had actually happened. Not just one player, but three players had won an MVP award two different years while playing two different positions. All three guys ended up in the Hall of Fame. Two American Leaguers and one National Leaguer. In order to get you started on your journey to find out who these great ball players are, I will drop a little hint: The most recent American Leaguer to accomplish this feat played for a team which is now a National League team. Please enjoy the pursuit of Baseball knowledge as much as I did.
RARE RIBBIE STAKES
The Cincinnati Reds are currently celebrating the anniversary of their 1990 World Series title. I have several fond memories of that Wire to Wire season. I received World Series tickets for my 16th birthday that year; Aisle 330, row 26, seat 114. The extra inning dramatic heroics of Billy Bates and Joe Oliver in game two stick out profoundly. Anyway, I decided to look up some stats from that magical season and in doing so I stumbled across a great "You gotta' know this."
I looked up to see who led the Reds in runs batted in that year. I had a good idea who it was and sure enough, it was Eric "44 magnum" Davis. He led the team with 86 ribbies that season, but I was a little surprised that it was such a low number. I looked up the National League RBI leader of the season to compare it to Eric's team leading total. A third baseman from the San Francisco Giants, Matt Williams, led the league with 122. That is 36 more than Eric "The Red" had. Here is the interesting part of this adventure through the record books. Matt Williams was the third consecutive Giant to lead the league in RBI.
First baseman, Will Clark, led the league with 109 in 1988. Left fielder and ex-Red Kevin Mitchell paced the league with 125 during his MVP campaign of 1989. Then, Matt Williams accomplished the feat in 1990. Three different players from the same franchise led the league in runs batted in for three consecutive seasons. I considered that to be very rare, so I dug a little deeper to see just how rare it actually was.
The runs batted in leader for each league has been tallied since the season of 1900. The only other team to do what the Giants had done in the National League during '88-'90 was The New York Yankees of the American League back in the 1920's. In fact, a New York Yankee led the league in runs batted in seven times from 1920 to 1929 (the Cincinnati Reds of the Big Red Machine era accomplished this 6 times during the seventies).
In 1925 outfielder, Bob Meusel, led the American League with 138. In 1926, The Great Babe Ruth responded with 145 of his own ribbies to lead the circuit. The "Murderers Row" of the 1927 Yankees were led by the beloved Lou Gehrig. He paced the junior circuit with an astounding total of 175 runs batted in that season. A former Cincinnati Red and Bearcat, Miller Huggins, skippered those great Yankee teams. Huggins is in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and is credited with creating the great Yankee lore with a little help from the "Babe" and the "Iron Horse"...of course!
So, you gotta' know this: Since 1900 it has only happened twice. Three consecutive years; three different team-mates led their respective leagues in runs batted in. Another dazzler is on its way and just as our current Reds have to do, I gotta' keep diggin' deeper.
RARE ROOKIES
Seven Cincinnati Reds have won the National League Rookie of the Year. Frank Robinson in 1956, Pete Rose in 1963, Tommy Helms in 1966, Johnny Bench in 1968, Pat Zachry in 1976, Chris Sabo in 1988, and Scott Williamson in 1999.
You gotta' know that Cincinnati's Frank Robinson's rookie or the year counter part from the American League was Luis Aparicio, a slick fielding shortstop from the Chicago White Sox. Both Frank Robinson and Luis Aparicio were to be elected into The Baseball Hall of Fame. Robinson was elected in 1982 and Aparicio was elected in 1984. To this date, there are only two other Rookie of the Year tandems from the same year to make it to the Hall. The Rookie of the Year class from 1967 also accomplished this feat (Ex-Reds Tom Seaver and Rod Carew both were elected to The Hall). Carew with the Minnesota Twins in 1991; And Seaver, with the New York Mets, was elected in 1992.
The Rookie of The Year class of 1977 is the last tandem to get there. Andre Dawson, just elected as a Montreal Expo in 2010 and Eddie Murray as a Baltimore Oriole, was elected in 2003. The Rookie of the Year Award has been earned by great first year players since 1947, but only given to each league since 1949. "The Great" Jackie Robinson hustled and earned the first in 1947. Al Dark of The Boston Braves made the mark in 1948 respectively. You gotta' know the next Rookie of the Year class destined to both make this illustrious accomplishment will be from the class of 2001. Look it up and see if you agree...
The next installment of "You gotta' know this!" will include an ex-Red and a Cincinnati native involving the ever important runs batted in statistic. It may just blow your mind if you are into baseball as much as I am. Have A GREAT weekend!
