Passage 2:
Caspar Babypants
Caspar Babypants is the stage name of children's music artist Chris Ballew, who is also the vocalist and bassist of The Presidents of the United States of America 

History
Ballew's first brush with children's music came in 2002, when he recorded and donated an album of traditional children's songs to the nonprofit Program for Early Parent Support titled "PEPS Sing A Long!" Although that was a positive experience for him, he did not consider making music for families until he met his wife, collage artist Kate Endle  Her art inspired Ballew to consider making music that "sounded like her art looked" as he has said  Ballew began writing original songs and digging up nursery rhymes and folk songs in the public domain to interpret and make his own  The first album, Here I Am!, was recorded during the summer of 2008 and released in February 2009 
Ballew began to perform solo as Caspar Babypants in the Seattle area in January 2009  Fred Northup, a Seattle-based comedy improvisor, heard the album and offered to play as his live percussionist   Northrup also suggested his frequent collaborator Ron Hippe as a keyboard player  "Frederick Babyshirt" and "Ronald Babyshoes" were the Caspar Babypants live band from May 2009 to April 2012  Both Northup and Hippe appear on some of his recordings but since April 2012 Caspar Babypants has exclusively performed solo  The reasons for the change were to include more improvisation in the show and to reduce the sound levels so that very young children and newborns could continue to attend without being overstimulated  
Ballew has made two albums of Beatles covers as Caspar Babypants  Baby Beatles! came out in September 2013 and Beatles Baby! came out in September 2015 
Ballew runs the Aurora Elephant Music record label, books shows, produces, records, and masters the albums himself  Distribution for the albums is handled by Burnside Distribution in Portland, Oregon 
Caspar Babypants has released a total of 17 albums  The 17th album, BUG OUT!, was released on May 1, 2020  His album FLYING HIGH! was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Children's Album  All 17 of the albums feature cover art by Ballew's wife, Kate Endle 
"FUN FAVORITES!" and "HAPPY HITS!" are two vinyl-only collections of hit songs that Caspar Babypants has released in the last couple of years

Ken Forsch
Kenneth Roth Forsch (born September 8, 1946) is an American former professional baseball player  He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a right-handed pitcher from 1970 to 1984, most prominently as a member of the Houston Astros where he helped the franchise win its first-ever National League Western Division title and postseason berth in 1980  A two-time All-Star player, Forsch pitched a no-hitter for the Astros on April 7, 1979  He ended his baseball career playing for the California Angels 

Career
Forsch was born in Sacramento, California where he graduated from Hiram Johnson High School and later attended the Oregon State University where he played for the Oregon State Beavers baseball team through the 1967–1968 seasons  He was selected by the Houston Astros in the 18th round (399th overall) of the 1968 Major League Baseball draft  He made his major league debut on September 7, 1970 at the age of 23 Forsch was selected to the All-Star Game in 1976 and 1981 On April 7, 1979, Forsch no-hit the Atlanta Braves 6–0 at the Astrodome  His brother Bob Forsch, who also pitched for the Astros, hurled two no-hitters while with the St  Louis Cardinals, making them the only set of brothers to pitch no-hitters in MLB history  The 1980 season went down to the wire, and Forsch was a part of the action  He went 12-13 during the season with a 3 20 ERA and on a then career-high 222 1 innings pitched; the rotation of him, Nolan Ryan, Joe Niekro, and J  R  Richard was slated to make a run at the National League West title, which they missed winning by one game the previous year  However, a stroke suffered by Richard late in the year saw the eventual end of his career  The Astros required a one-game playoff on October 6 after the Astros lost three straight games to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Dodger Stadium  Forsch had lost the first game on October 3 when trying to hang on to a precarious 2-1 lead  However, a single and a subsequent error set the stage for a Ron Cey base hit with two out to send the game into the 10th inning  On the first batter of the inning, Forsch allowed a home run that gave the Dodgers a 3-2 victory  The Astros prevailed in the tiebreaker game thanks to the efforts of Joe Niekro that set the Astros up in the 1980 National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies for Game 1 on the following day of October 7  Forsch was selected to start the game, which was the first playoff game in the history of the Astros  Facing Steve Carlton at Veterans Stadium, Forsch went eight innings and allowed three runs on eight hits with a walk and five strikeouts, as the Phillies broke through in the 6th on a two-run home run by Greg Luzinski and an pinch hit RBI single by Greg Gross in the 7th that got the Phillies a 3-1 victory  In Game 5, the Astros were on the verge of a pennant but needed relief down the stretch  They were leading 5-2 in the 8th inning, but Nolan Ryan had been taken out after allowing three hits and a walk to make the score 5-3 with the bases loaded  Forsch was put in after Joe Sambito had got a groundout to make it 5-4 with one out and two on  He struck out Mike Schmidt, but when facing Del Unser, Forsch allowed a base hit to right field that tied the game at 5  Now facing Manny Trillo, Forsch delivered a pitch that was smacked for a triple to left to clear the bases and give the Phillies a 7-5 lead  Forsch was pinch hit for in the 9th, which saw the Astros tie the game in the eventual loss in the 10th inning  It was the last appearance of Forsch in an Astros uniform and his only experience in the postseason  He was traded to the California Angels for Dickie Thon in April of 1981, eschewing the idea of being relegated to the bullpen and demanding a trade when general manager Al Rosen had acquired Don Sutton and Bob Knepper in the offseason 
In the strike-shortened 1981 season, Forsch went 11-7 with a 2 88 ERA in 153 innings, pitching a league high four shutouts while having 55 strikeouts  He was named to the All-Star Game for the second and final time  He went 13-11 in 1982, but he did not pitch in the postseason run by the Angels that saw them lose in the ALCS in five games  He went 11-12 in 1983 before suffering a setback in 1984, where he pitched in just two games, as he suffered a dislocated shoulder on April 7 when diving to the bag on a fielding play that had him land on his right elbow  He returned as a free agent in 1986, pitching as a middleman in ten games for 17 innings that saw him have a 9 53 ERA before being released on May 25 
During his 16-year career, Forsch compiled 114 wins, 1,047 strikeouts, and a 3 37 earned run average  After his career ended, He worked in commercial real estate along with serving as a member of the Angels’ Speakers Bureau before applying to work for the Angels as their director of player development, which was accepted  He worked for four years before having a promotion to assistant general manager in 1998  He won a World Series ring when the Angels won the championship in 2002  He was dismissed in 2011

Passage 10:
Jim Wilson (pitcher)
James Alger Wilson (February 20, 1922 – September 2, 1986) was an American professional baseball pitcher, scout and front-office executive  Although he was well-traveled as a player and compiled a career winning percentage of only  491 in 175 decisions, he threw the first no-hit, no-run game in Milwaukee's Major League history and was a three-time (1954–56) All-Star who represented both the National and American leagues   During his front office career he served as the third general manager in the franchise history of the Milwaukee Brewers 

Career
As a player
A native of San Diego, Wilson threw and batted right-handed, stood 6 feet 1 inch (1 85 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg)  He attended San Diego State University 
Wilson pitched in all or part of 12 seasons (1945–46; 1948–49; 1951–58) for five Major League franchises and six different cities: the Boston Red Sox, St  Louis Browns/Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Athletics, Boston / Milwaukee Braves and Chicago White Sox   He began his pro career during World War II in 1943 in the Red Sox' farm system and in his second year, 1944, he won 19 games with the top-level Louisville Colonels of the American Association  He made the 1945 Red Sox' roster coming out of spring training and started 21 games for them during the season's first four months  In his 21st start, on August 9 at Briggs Stadium,  Wilson worked into the tenth inning of a 3–3 game  With one out, Detroit Tigers' slugger Hank Greenberg hit a line drive back through the box that struck Wilson in the head, fracturing his skull and sending him to Henry Ford Hospital  The injury sidelined Wilson for the rest of the campaign and he would pitch only one more game for the Red Sox, on April 23, 1946 
Wilson returned to Louisville for the balance of 1946 and all of 1947, then was included in a trade to the Browns that yielded slugging shortstop Vern Stephens and starting pitcher Jack Kramer  But 1948 and 1949 saw Wilson bounce among four organizations—the Browns, Cleveland Indians, Tigers and Athletics—and make ineffective appearances in six total big-league games for the Browns and A's   Finally, in 1950, he was acquired by the Triple-A Seattle Rainiers, managed by Paul Richards  Wilson won 24 games (losing 11) for a sixth-place team and led the Pacific Coast League in strikeouts  His contract was purchased by the Boston Braves at season's end, and Wilson returned to the Major Leagues for good 
Wilson's first All-Star season came in 1954 for the Milwaukee Braves; they had moved from Boston in March 1953  He no-hit the Philadelphia Phillies, 2–0 at Milwaukee County Stadium on June 12 of that season  The 32-year-old right-hander beat future Hall of Famer Robin Roberts in the one-hour and 43-minute contest  Wilson issued two bases on balls (both to Phillies' catcher Smoky Burgess) and struck out six  The no-hitter was the first in the Braves' Milwaukee history   Wilson was named an All-Star in the midst of an 8–2 season in 27 games pitched with three other complete game shutouts for the contending Braves  But he did not get into the 1954 Midsummer classic, an 11–9 loss for his National League squad at Cleveland Municipal Stadium 
On the eve of the 1955 season, Richards, by now both the general manager and field manager of the Baltimore Orioles, purchased Wilson's contract and moved him into the starting rotation  Wilson led the American League in games lost (18) that season (as a team, Baltimore lost 97 games), but he again registered four shutouts and was selected to the AL All-Star team, chosen to play in the July 12, 1955, game at his old home field, County Stadium  But again Wilson did not appear and, again, his team was defeated, with the Senior Circuit winning 6–5 in 12 innings 

Wilson began 1956 by winning four of his first six decisions in seven starts for Baltimore despite sporting a high (5 03) earned run average  On May 21, Richards traded him to the first-division White Sox, and although he pitched more effectively, he registered only a 9–12 record for Chicago  Nevertheless, Wilson was selected to the 1956 American League All-Star team, and this time he played in the game at Griffith Stadium in Washington, working one inning in the AL's 7–3 loss, allowing two hits and one earned run, although he retired Willie Mays on a called third strike to register the final out That set the stage for Wilson's most successful big-league season, with the 1957 White Sox  He won a career-high 15 games (losing eight), and led the American League in shutouts, with five  However, he did not earn a place on the 1957 AL All-Star team   In 1958, the 36-year-old Wilson concluded his 16-season playing career, working in 28 games for the White Sox, 23 in a starting role  In his final MLB game, September 14 against the Washington Senators, he worked 82⁄3 innings and surrendered five earned runs, but was credited with the victory in a 6–5 Chicago triumph  That season he also continued his skein of errorless games as a pitcher  On June 15, 1955, as an Oriole, he muffed an eighth-inning foul pop-up by the White Sox' Jim Rivera for an error  It was the last miscue he would commit in his career, which spanned 116 games through his 1958 retirement  Wilson posted a career  988  fielding percentage, committing only 4 miscues in  333 total chances 
Altogether, Wilson appeared in 257 Major League games pitched, 217 as a starter  He compiled an 86–89 won-lost mark, with 75 complete games and 19 shutouts  In 1,539 innings pitched he notched 692 strikeouts  Wilson also allowed 1,479 hits, 608 bases on balls and 686 earned runs  His career earned run average was 4 01 

As a scout and executive
Wilson remained in the game as a scout for the Orioles and Houston Astros  He and scout Jim Russo signed Jim Palmer for the Orioles in 1963  Palmer recalled in a 1996 book that though 13 teams were interested in him, the Orioles scouts set themselves apart with their polite manners  In 1971, Wilson came back to Milwaukee as the director of scouting and player development of the Brewers, a three-year-old expansion team, and following the 1972 season, he succeeded Frank Lane as Milwaukee's general manager  Although Lane was renowned as a trader, Wilson completed a blockbuster transaction of his own with the Phillies on October 31, 1972, acquiring third baseman Don Money in a seven-player deal  Money would play 11 seasons for the Brewers and make four American League All-Star teams   Then, in June 1973, during his first draft as Brewers' general manager, Wilson selected Robin Yount with the club's first pick (third overall)   After one season in minor league baseball, Wilson promoted the 18-year-old Yount to the 1974 Brewers, the beginning of a 20-season, Hall of Fame career for the shortstop and center fielder 
But Wilson's stay as general manager in Milwaukee was not a long one  After the 1974 season he returned to California to become executive director of the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau  He stepped down in 1985 after being stricken with cancer and died in Newport Beach at age 64 on September 2, 1986

For the "O Valencia!" music video, The Decemberists filmed themselves in front of a green screen and asked fans to complete it by digitally adding in background images or footage  Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, having recently asked fans to do the same with a video of him with a light saber in front of a green screen, brought up The Decemberists on his segment "Look Who's Riding on My Coattails Now" and accused the band of stealing the idea  The Decemberists' response was to challenge Stephen Colbert to a guitar solo showdown on December 20, 2006, on The Colbert Report On January 19, 2007, The Decemberists premiered an alternate music video of "O Valencia!", directed by Aaron Stewart-Ahn, on MTV2  The video follows a character named Patrick, played by Meloy, as he and his love Francesca (Lisa Molinaro), daughter of "the Boss", plan an escape to an unknown location  At a cafe, a man in a suit, portrayed by the band member Chris Funk, tells him to hide in the "Valencia" hotel (the Super Value Inn on North Interstate Avenue in Portland, Oregon) while he gets them the necessary documentation to escape  Above the name of the hotel, there is a neon sign that reads "Office"  The letters have all burnt out except for the "O", creating the title of the song  The video then introduces other characters - various assassination teams - who sit in different rooms of the hotel waiting for the chance to catch the two lovers  Most are portrayed by other members of the band (along with Meloy's wife, Carson Ellis)  They kill off any potential witnesses to their plan  Patrick manages to take down one member from each team, before they gang up on him  The Boss arrives, along with the man from the cafe, who reveals that he snitched on Patrick and Francesca  They execute Francesca, while forcing Patrick to watch  After they leave, Patrick finds a note by Francesca, which reveals that she never fell in love with him, and only wanted protection  2 months later, Patrick and the man, who has lost an eye from a previous assassination attempt, have a sit-down at the same cafe  The man reveals that he snitched on Patrick just to take over the town  Patrick reveals that he poisoned a drink the man was having, but before he could get away, the man stabs Patrick in the neck with a fork before dying, followed by Patrick 
The video is somewhat influenced by the distinct style and themes of director Wes Anderson, with bold fonts being used to introduce characters and groups on the bottom of the screen (much like in the film The Royal Tenenbaums)  The band had previously (and more explicitly) drawn influence from Anderson's Rushmore in their video for "Sixteen Military Wives"  The layout of the hotel is also similar to the one used in Bottle Rocket 
Kurt Nishimura was chosen as the winner by mtvU for his video that depicted a love affair between a woman and her television, with the TV containing the green-screened Decemberists video footage
