Elroy Face, Rollie Fingers on All-Body Parts team

Here's one anatomy lesson that won't get you in trouble. It's Page 2's All-Body Parts Team. And, no, we're not putting it on Twitter.

Joey Cheek : In 2002, the native of Greensboro, N.C., became the first American born and raised in the Southeast to win a medal in the Winter Olympics when he claimed the bronze in the 1,000-meter speed skating event in Salt Lake City. (The following day, Vonetta Flowers (Birmingham) won gold in the inaugural two-woman bobsled and speed skater Jennifer Rodriguez (Miami) won bronze in the 1,000 meters.) Cheek won a silver and a gold in 2006 but has devoted his time since then to humanitarian pursuits, chiefly awareness of the genocide in Darfur. He graduated from Princeton last week.

Elroy Face : In 1959, Face went 18-1 for the Pirates. That's the best single-season winning percentage by any pitcher with a minimum of 14 decisions in MLB history. The win total is also the highest in relief by anybody in a year. In his other 15 seasons, Elroy went 86-94, but he more than saved face with 1959.

Rollie Fingers : Famous for his handlebar moustache, it was Rollie's fingers that did the work. Fingers became the first closer to win MVP of either league when he saved 28 games for the Brewers in the strike-shortened 1981 season. Dennis Eckersley, playing for the A's 11 years later, is the only other reliever to be an MVP. Back to Fingers, we point out that his ERA of 1.04 in 1981 was the lowest by any pitcher with 75 or more innings in 65 years.

Brad Hand : The lefty made his MLB debut this week and promptly made history, becoming only the second pitcher since 1900 to lose his first career start while allowing one hit in more than three innings. Hand, who pitched six frames, gave up a solo homer to Alex Gonzalez in the fourth, and lost, 1-0. At least he's got his youth. At 21 years, 2 months and 18 days, he's the second-youngest member of the 2008 draft class to make the majors.

Iris Morhammer : Here's one thing you don't want to be: a ball struck by a Morhammer. The Austrian was a three-time Olympian in handball, an eye-hand sport theoretically well-suited to somebody named Iris.

Iridology Is The Science Of Iris Flower | | bodyworkmall ...

Iridology is the science and practice of analyzing the iris, the most complex external structure of the human anatomy.  The practice of Iridology is expanding rapidly as it is becoming known as a valuable tool for preventive healthcare.  The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of the brain and nervous system.  It is in direct contact with the bio-energetic, biochemical, structural, hormonal, and metabolic processes of the body via the nerves, blood vessels, muscle fibers, and lymph.  Holistically, it is used to accurately assess the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual patterns and weaknesses for a complete health analysis.  It is completely painless, non-invasive, and economically viable while providing valuable information for restorative and preventive health care. Most Iridologists also incorporate the study of Sclerology into their assessments.  Sclerology is the study of the whites of the eyes as they relate to the person’s health.  Interpreting the red lines, colorations, and markings in the sclera is closely associated with present pathology of the body. This is based on the twelve meridians and the yin and yang aspect of each meridian.  The Chinese saw the lines in the sclera as a reflection of the lymphatic fluid which bathes every cell in relation to the principles of acupuncture. This principle concludes that imbalances in the meridian energy register in the sclera.  Native American Indians also analyzed the eyes to get a better understanding of the stresses affecting a person’s health.

Nature has provided us with an invaluable insight into the vital status of the health of any individual through the sciences of iridology and sclerology. Through analyzing the eyes it enables us to ascertain the person’s genetic predisposition to health and disease, the general constitution, as well as organ and gland influence on other bodily systems.  Personality tendencies, thought and emotional patterns, and deeper soul-level issues can also be recognized, making the eyes truly the windows to not only the body, but the mind and soul.

Iridology has progressed tremendously since the mid 1800′s.  Numerous doctors and scientists have researched iridology on humans over the past 125 years and it has become a respected practice, used by many medical doctors and naturopaths worldwide.  Dr. Bernard Jensen, renowned Iridologist and Nutritionist, pioneered the science of iridology here in the U.S.  Dr. David J Pesek, PhD has continued and expanded upon Jensen’s work to develop one of the most comprehensive iris charts used today, integrating the thought and emotional patterns with the physical health, and improving the understanding of the ‘brain flare’ areas.
