BREAKING NEWS:
Franciszka Krasinska (1743?-1796) Purple Princess will be making an apperance at Pulaski Park tonight for the Championship.

What brings Franciszka to the Pulaski Park tonight you may be asking yourselves... well here is some history...

The outbreak of the Bar Confederation brought a release of tensions. The connection between the Confederation and the Saxon court and the role that the Krasinski family played in its founding, gave Franciszka hope for improved fortunes. There is evidence that the princess worked on creating the Krakow Confederation in 1768. In the summer of 1769 she moved with Antoni Lubomirski, first to Opole in Silesia, then to Lubliniec where she started intense activity in the political circle surrounding the Bishop of Kamieniec. Lubliniec became, for a longer interval, a place for important meetings and conferences. Thanks to the personal appeal of "her illustriousness," as Franciszka was called in confederation circles, and the "pleasant place" for rest, especially for the Bishop of Kamieniec who was a frequent guest.

Her virtuous character traits: gentleness, nobility, and lack of self-interest made her a true guiding spirit of the confederation and one of the most sympathetic personages among the women active in this movement. She assisted in organizing the Generalnosc [General Staff] sending messengers to Rome and Vienna, keeping up good relations with the Prussians, and was an intermediary in border disputes among the confederates. Her own interests were closely tied to policy conducted by the Saxons. In 1770 she worked [in support of the confederation] and after the departure of Dumouriez and in 1771 joined in the plan put forward by Adam Krasinski of bringing Prince Karol to Poland and making him the commander of the scattered confederation forces. She tried to assuage the disputes and antagonisms between the confederation commanders. Bierzynski sought her help after the Generalnosc passed verdict on him; then Szymon Kossakowski [went to her for assistance] after he was accused of defrauding the confederation of money. But she extended a special protection over Kazimierz Pulaski, who was supposed to have been in love with her when he was but a young Starosta of Warka. She, however, could not come to terms with the restless soul of this greatest Bar Confederation hero. Thanks to her, Pulaski was able to reconcile with his greatest rival, the Wielkopolska [Greater Poland] commander Zareba. He also came to terms with Viomenenil. Using these activities as a pretext, Stanislaw August [Poniatowski - King of Poland] accused Franciszka Krasinska of "moral participation" in the [kidnapping] plot against him (November 3, 1771). Pulaski found her supportive after that unfortunate incident and she persuaded him to announce a manifesto proclaiming his innocence.

P.S.
Prior to the 16th century mead and beer were considered the Polish national drinks. Meads were made from honey. They are less popular today, but beer is still a favorite drink of many Poles. Those in the highest esteem are: Zywiec, EB, Lech, Okocim, Lezajsk.

The mass production of vodka was started in 17th century. The best-known brands now are: Wyborowa, Zytnia and Zubrówka ("Bison vodka" flavored with a special grass grown in the Bialowieza Forest).

On such a big night of championship playoffs... I thought I would bring up the roots of the fields namesakes...




Pulaski died fighting for Independence.




George Wick died on the titanic... "This boat is all right. She's going along finely. She just got a glancing blow, I guess."

Hey what about Sijan? Cleveland Field? and Beulau?

Hey forgive me I just got back from the 18th century... and all I have on my mind is Mr. Pulaski and his rival smack talkers at Wick.

I think the other three parks should represent just as Pulaski does.

I think that this princess is just Laura. Madden seems awfully familiar too... hmmmm.

No it's not. What are you talking about???

Whatever. You know EXACTLY what I'm speaking about - You Pulass-ski lover.

Madden is the one you had that big picture blown up of. Remember?

No WONDER! Very Similar. Got it.

Both hotties you lusted over....

Lusting just like me for my Pulaski!

Franciszka Krasinska

Are you saying Kegley lusted after La La La Laura?

I'll bet if you ask every player in the Friday Pulaski Division what the name of the division is, less than half would get it right.
I personaly don't know, I know it's either Wax On or Wax Off, but I couldn't say which one for sure.
I propose a renaming of the Friday Pulaski division from Wax On/Off? to something more fitting of the spectarcular field on which we play. How about somthing like the CLAVERY DIVISION, since the great General was the father of the American Calvery!

Flying Hellfish!

Beno- I agree! The division should be renamed...

T- I heard lalala had to switch fields... not sure if it was that or the force of our beloved Pulaski!!


Franciszka Krasinska

Maybe we should simply be named "Friday Pulaski", kind of like the Rucker's league in street hoops in NYC.

Raw & to the point!

I'm confused by these posts. I'm just going to leave it alone now. I'm not sure who I've been lusting after nor do I really care. Natalie rarely lusts after anyone these days. I may come across a sizzle chest here and there but I pretty much only lust after myself. Bye-Bye!
