Kevin Martoken is a senior accounting professional with over 15 years of experience at Wall Street accounting firms and hedge funds. A long-time resident of New York, Kevin Martoken remains a loyal fan of the NY Mets.
Recently, financial services multinational Citi gave the Mets just one more incentive to outperform—and their fans one more reason to cheer—with the return of the Citi Community Home Runs program for the 2015 season. For every home run hit by the Mets at Citi Field, Citi will donate $2,000 to one of the four partner nonprofits in the tri-state area: City Harvest, United Neighborhood Houses, USO, and New York City’s YMCA. Citi kicked off the program with an initial $5,000 donation to each agency. Curtis Granderson, Mets outfielder and MLB representative for the “Let’s Move” campaign, will return as the brand ambassador. In 2014, the Community Home Runs program raised a total of $138,000 for 59 home runs batted by Mets players at Citi Field.

The offside rule in soccer is often considered one of the more confusing sports rules. It can help to first understand the purpose of the rule before learning its nuances. The offside rule exists in soccer so that teams cannot place one or more players around an opponent’s goal for an indeterminate amount of time. Without the offside rule, teams could conceivably kick the ball down field the moment they gain possession, resulting in an immediate--and some would argue unearned--goal-scoring opportunity. To prevent this scenario, soccer’s offside rule posits that a player should be flagged if he or she is closer to the opposing goal line than both the ball and the two closest defenders. While this definition describes the location of a player during an offside call, a referee does not need to penalize every player that meets the offside criteria. Players generally receive an offside flag only when their positioning results in some form of interference or provides the offside player with a decided goal-scoring advantage. |
