New York Sports Hall of Fame Relaunches with Historic Content from Comprehensive Digital Archives

The New York Sports Hall of Fame relaunched today with a slate of digital firsts, including bidding on a non-fungible token (NFT) of the speech regarded as the most famous in sports history.

The historic 1-of-1 NFT of uncut extant film of the iconic 1939 “Luckiest Man” address by New York Yankees captain Lou Gehrig is open for bidding at opensea.io/collection/gehrig. The film is the longest single-source recording of the speech and the first known Gehrig speech NFT. 

Delivered at Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day at Yankee Stadium, the speech is part of a New York Sports Hall of Fame collection that includes filmed remarks at the same ceremony by baseball legend Babe Ruth and Yankees manager Joe McCarthy. The three men were inducted into the Hall between 1989 and 1991. 

After a long hiatus, the New York Sports Hall of Fame relaunched today in digital form at newyorksportshall.com and on the prominent NFT marketplace OpenSea at opensea.io/nys.  Later this year, the Hall plans to release digital commemoratives of more of its 310 inductees to date and to open balloting for its next member class.

The New York Sports Hall of Fame’s extensive collection of original Greater New York historical content is preserved from more than 150 years of various sports developments, from Major League Baseball to six-day bicycle racing. The Hall archives illustrate how the history of Greater New York sports has helped shape culture and society in the region and beyond.

Gehrig was voted into the New York Sports Hall of Fame twice, in 1989 for professional baseball and two years later for college baseball. The former Columbia University star and record-setting Yankees first baseman was born, raised and educated in New York City.

Well known for its line, "the luckiest man on the face of the earth," Gehrig's speech was delivered on July 4, 1939. At the time, Gehrig was dying of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, the rare and incurable disease that became known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. 

The Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day NFT collection on OpenSea accepts the popular cryptocurrency Ethereum, which can be purchased on the exchange Coinbase and used on OpenSea with the digital wallet MetaMask.

Launched 32 years ago, the New York Sports Hall of Fame is owned and operated by the streaming service New York Sports Experience (newyorkse.com).

“From its start, the New York Sports Hall of Fame has been dedicated to the preservation and commemoration of the rich history of Greater New York sports,” said Jordan Sprechman, New York Sports Experience’s founder and an original New York Sports Hall of Fame officer. “Today’s digital expansion reflects that mission.”

Future Electronics President Robert Miller Congratulates Singapore APDC on Their 25th Anniversary

Montreal, Canada (release-news ) June 21, 2021 - Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the opening of the company's Asia Pacific Distribution Center in Singapore.

Future Electronics was founded in Montreal in 1968 by company President Robert Miller. It expanded into the United States in 1972, opening its first American office in Boston.

The first Singapore APDC opened its doors in 1996. "What began as a small warehouse staffed by a handful of people has been transformed over the years into the company's highly automated Asia Pacific Distribution Center employing hundreds of workers," said Louis Lam, VP of Operations & Full Service Center, Asia Pacific.

Future Electronics made two major decisions in 2009 which have contributed to the success of their Asia Pacific operations. First, the company moved the APDC from the west to the east of Singapore to maintain close proximity to Singapore Changi Airport and carrier hubs. "This enabled us to offer the most flexible operating hours and the latest order cut-off times in the industry," Lam said.

The second decision was to invest significantly in transforming the new APDC into a highly automated distribution center, ensuring precise control over process quality, consistency and efficiency, and complete product traceability.

"We also established strong partnership with global integrators to guarantee their daily network flights are available to us, so that we can deliver products to the doorsteps of our customers as quickly as possible," Lam said. "We can reach most of the major cities in the Asia Pacific region within 24 hours with end-to-end shipment tracking."

Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics, congratulated the entire Singapore APDC team on their 25-year milestone, and thanked everyone for their contributions to the company's continued success and growth in the region.
