Let's travel down the lane to know the history of uniforms.

Knickerbocker Baseball Club used the first recorded baseball uniform in 1849. The

Knickerbocker Baseball Club was characterized with white flannel shirt, wool pants and straw hat. It is common knowledge that this type of baseball uniform is very outdated and outmoded in comparison to today's uniforms.

Baseball uniforms are now made with synthetic materials and these materials are really produced with good quality.

Meanwhile, in 1868, another baseball team, this time the Cincinnati Red Stockings had introduced another uniform. This type of baseball uniform is more promising as it had given players the enough movement.

In 1880 up to 1890, colors and designs of uniforms were change and altered and replaced a lot.

In 1882, player's uniform became multi colored depending on the player's position. The use of stockings was the only one used to identify a teammate.

It was in 1888 - 1889, that the three major teams, Detroit and Washington from National League and Brooklyn, member team of American Association had decided to launch stripes on their uniforms.

The stripes design during this time became a short lived but since then, the team Brooklyn became known for being trendsetter in uniforms.

Brooklyn had brought back the striped uniform in 1907, 1916 and 1917, respectively. They are not also afraid in trying other materials for the uniform; they tried a satin material for their uniform.

They were also the first team in baseball history to put numbers on front panels of baseball jersey in 1952.

The evolution of baseball uniform did not stop there; a long process was involved before each team had developed the best baseball uniform for their players today.

So before you sell uniforms that you think you don't need, you have to remember that baseball uniform may have endure careful planning and long process before how it became the baseball uniform you see it today.

Leadership: Art and Science

Leadership is both art and science. It is a science in that specific tasks and functions can be identified and described as constituting leadership. It is an art in that how a person goes about those tasks and functions makes all the difference.

There are at least seven functions of the business leader common to most businesses:

Identify and communicate the mission, goals and objectives.
Get agreement from everyone involved that the mission, goals and objectives are worthwhile.
Determine the needed resources. Don't overreach!
Identify and find the resources. Almost all of the new business failures are because theresources were lacking.
Make a good plan.
Use the resources wisely.
Evaluate constantly and make necessary changes. Flexibility is important.

Business leaders could learn a great deal from watching the presidential campaigns and professional baseball.

The presidential campaigns are managed with an eye on each of these seven functions. The gathering and managing of people and money to make the campaigns viable is a work of art based on known principles. That is to say, it is both art and science. Chaotic as political campaigns appear to the naked eye, with people running helter skelter and the phones ringing and so forth, they are in fact well-planned and well-executed organized effective endeavors. The work of thousands of people is orchestrated. There is focus. Everyone pulls together for a clear purpose.

Professional baseball games are also a clinic in leadership. The manager is actually more than a manager. The manager is the leader. A very good baseball team always has a very good manager. Good managers find the talent and then motivate their players. Good teams are made up of good players who are on the same page. That is no accident! The manager makes good decisions about the game plan, utilizes the talents of the players wisely. Above all, the manager makes necessary changes throughout each game. The results with very good teams speak for themselves. Baseball managers are excellent examples for business leaders to study. In the end, business results speak for themselves. Good leaders get good business results, just as good baseball managers get good results.

The proof (of good leadership) is in the pudding!
