June 23, 2008. 
Whereas Pittsfield, Massachusetts, is the home of a historic 
document discovered in Pittsfield’s archives by noted 
baseball historian John Thorn in 2004; 
Whereas the historic document is a bylaw, passed by the 
Town of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, during a town meeting 
on September 5, 1791, which states that ‘‘for the Preser-
vation of the Windows in the New Meeting House . . . 
no Person or Inhabitant of said town, shall be permitted 
to play at any game called Wicket, Cricket, Baseball, 
Football, Cat, Fives or any other game or games with 
balls, within the Distance of Eighty Yards from said 
Meeting House’’; 
Whereas this bylaw was created to protect the windows of the 
new meetinghouse in the Town of Pittsfield, Massachu-
setts, which is currently the Congregational Church, de-
signed by renowned architect Charles Bulfinch in 1789 
and completed in 1793; 
Whereas Pittsfield, Massachusetts, through the First Home 
Plate project will commemorate being known as the home 
of the oldest known documentation of the game by erect-
ing three permanent monuments, Bat, Ball, and Glove, to 
recognize Pittsfield’s unparalleled position in baseball his-

Whereas 23,000,000 Americans are victims of crime each 
year, and of those, 5,200,000 are victims of violent crime; 
Whereas a just society acknowledges crime’s impact on indi-
viduals, families, and communities by ensuring that 
rights, resources, and services are available to help re-
build lives; 
Whereas victims’ rights are a critical component of the prom-
ise of ‘‘justice for all,’’ the foundation for our system of 
justice in America; 
Whereas although our Nation has steadily expanded rights, 
protections, and services for victims of crime, too many 
victims are still not able to realize the hope and promise 
of these gains; 
Whereas we must do better to ensure services are available 
for underserved segments of our population, including 
crime victims with disabilities, victims with mental ill-
ness, victims who are teenagers, victims who are elderly, 
victims in rural areas, and victims in communities of 
color; 
Whereas observing victims’ rights and treating victims with

Whereas America recognizes that we make our homes, neigh-

victims of crime and ensuring justice for all; 
Whereas our Nation must strive to protect, expand, and ob-
