  • Whitey Ford and the Best Marketing Event Ever by Charles B. Wendel
    Whitey Ford and the Best Marketing Event Ever By Charles B. Wendel Maybe not the best, but close. And joyful. It was the fall of 1995, 40 years after the one and only time the Brooklyn Dodgers won a World Series. In fact while I don’t remember that event, but some people of a certain age would say it was the greatest day in Brooklyn’s history. Manufacturers Hanover Bank, whom I consulted to when I was at McKinsey had combined with Chemical (now Chase). While the name changed, its Middle Market unit remained the leader in serving New York’s mid-sized companies. In the pre-digital era foot power and personal relationships differentiated the bank from others. They also had close ties to baseball; if I remember correctly, Tom Seaver appeared in ads for them. Time for a party to celebrate one of the greatest days in Brooklyn history. It should have come as no surprise that the marketing group at the bank, then headed by Andy Parton who now runs the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island, helped come up with the most memorable event possible. They brought together dozens of former New York City big leaguers from the Giants, Dodgers, and Yankees of that era. Names that the mostly male business owners who attended the event had grown up rooting for and were excited to meet. When I read of Whitey Ford’s death last week, I was sure he had attended that dinner. Even more, I thought I had gotten his name on the baseball that the bank gave to each attendee as they signed in.

  • A Geographical Look at Home Runs
    Academic Forum 24 2006-07 A Geographical Look at Home Runs Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper, we will look at career home runs for major league baseball players based on the state in which they were born. Major league baseball is known for its interesting statistics. There are multitudes of numbers and multitudes of ways of looking at the numbers. For some now-forgotten reason, I once started looking at home runs by the state of birth of the home run hitter. This chart gives home runs by state (including the District of Columbia). Consider the chart below, where “n” denotes the number of players born in that state who have hit at least one major league home run. [Note: All data comes from Lee Sinin's Sabermetric Baseball Encyclopedia .] HRs n HRs n HRs n Alabama 7985 153 Kentucky 2851 100 North Dakota 284 7 Alaska 71 5 Louisiana 4057 97 Ohio 10682 369 Arizona 876 32 Maine 262 23 Oklahoma 5090 105 Arkansas 3252 61 Maryland 4729 101 Oregon 2293 46 California 41790 894 Massachusetts 4314 217 Pennsylvania 13666 493 Colorado 414 27 Michigan 5057 149 Rhode Island 1093 30 Connecticut 1999 76 Minnesota 2505 62 South Carolina 3496 88 D.C. 600 35 Mississippi 3256 84 South Dakota 122 10 Delaware 563 18 Missouri 6882 234 Tennessee 3045 102 Florida 8984 163 Montana 198 9 Texas 11238 303 Georgia 5672 139 Nebraska 1137 46 Utah 170 11 Hawaii 202 15 Nevada 200 8 Vermont 540 17 Idaho 712 11 New Hampshire 301 20 Virginia 2624 95 Illinois 11504 393 New Jersey 3830 146 Washington 2952 68 Indiana 3601 129 New Mexico 664 9 West Virginia 1803 50 Iowa 1611 75 New York 13008 404 Wisconsin 2534 83 Kansas 1756 66 North Carolina 3507 168 Wyoming 244 6 Not surprisingly, California has both the most home runs and the most 45000 home run hitters.
