  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more full-time years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and eld, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.

  • Los Yankees De Nueva York Dieron Una Gran Muestra Ofensiva
    1927 Los Yankees de Nueva York dieron una gran muestra ofensiva durante toda la temporada de 1927, y con su excelente pitcheo, dominaron la tabla de posiciones durante toda la campaña finalizando con una marca de 110-44 en ganados y perdidos, conformando así un equipo de los mejores en la historia del beisbol de las Grandes Ligas. Los Atléticos de Philadelphia, comandados por Ty Cobb, quedaron en segundo sitio de la Liga Americana a ¡19 juegos! del primer lugar. De nueva cuenta, el gran Babe Ruth exhibe su gran poder con el madero al llegar a la mágica cifra de 60 cuadrangulares, algo insólito en este deporte; su promedio con gente en base llegó a ser de 0.487. Su compañero Lou Gehrig no lo hizo tan mal, puesto que concluyó la campaña con 47 palos de vuelta entera. Es digno mencionar que entre Ruth y Gehrig conectaron casi la cuarta parte de los 439 cuadrangulares que se contabilizaron en la liga. Gehrig produjo 175 carreras siendo el líder en el circuito, aunque Ruth anotó más veces al pisar el plato en 164 ocasiones, 9 más que su compañero. El premio al jugador más valioso fue otorgado a Gehrig por encima de Harry Heilmann de Detroit, quien bateó para 0.398. Destacaron en la ofensiva neoyorquina Earle Combs con 137 carreras anotadas, primero en hits con 231 y en triples con 23 con 0.356 de promedio; Bob Meusel conectó para 0.337 con 47 dobletes y Mark Koening que fue segundo en carreras con 99 anotaciones. Tony Lazzeri fue tercero en jonrones con 18 acumulando un porcentaje de 0.309.

Harper remembers her baseball-playing father BY DENISE DUNBAR The Washington Nationals are vying for just the second World Series title in D.C. history. Fans eager- ly await the Nationals’ first home game of the 2019 fall classic Friday night as the team attempts to em- ulate the 1924 Washington Senators, winners over the New York Giants in seven thrilling games. Many fans know that aging Walter Johnson, one of the greatest pitchers in major league base- ball history, won game seven in relief after losing his two starts earlier in the ‘24 series. Others are familiar with Leon Allen “Goose” Goslin, the Sen- ators’ young slugging left fielder; 34-year-old Sam Rice, their stellar right fielder; and Bucky Harris, the young player-manager second baseman – all of whom were destined for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

  • 1962 Minnesota Twins Media Guide
    MINNESOTA TWINS METROPOLITAN STADIUM - BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA /eepreieniin the AMERICAN LEAGUE __flfl I/ic Upper l?ic/we1 The Name... The name of this baseball club is Minnesota Twins. It is unique, as the only major league baseball team named after a state instead of a city. The reason unlike all other teams, this one represents more than one city. It, in fact, represents a state and a region, Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, in the American League. A survey last year drama- tized the vastness of the Minnesota Twins market with the revelation that up to 47 per cent of the fans at weekend games came from beyond the metropolitan area surrounding the stadium. The nickname, Twins, is in honor of the two largest cities in the Upper Midwest, the Twin Cities of Minne- apolis and St. Paul. The Place... The home stadium of the Twins is Metropolitan Stadium, located in Bloomington, the fourth largest city in the state of Minnesota. Bloomington's popu- lation is in excess of 50,000. Bloomington is in Hen- nepin County and the stadium is approximately 10 miles from the hearts of Minneapolis (Hennepin County) and St. Paul (Ramsey County). Bloomington has no common boundary with either of the Twin Cities. Club Records Because of the transfer of the old Washington Senators to Minnesota in October, 1960, and the creation of a completely new franchise in the Na- tion's Capital, there has been some confusion over the listing of All-Time Club records. In this booklet, All-Time Club records include those of the Wash- ington American League Baseball Club from 1901 through 1960, and those of the 1961 Minnesota Twins, a continuation of the Washington American League Baseball Club.

    MINNESOTA TWINS BASEBALL CLUB METROPOLITAN STADIUM HOME OF MINNESOTA TWINS /EprP.1n/inf/ /I , AMERICAN LEAGUE _j1,, i'; , Upp er /'ZIweoi Year of the Great Confluence For the big-league starved fans of the Upper Midwest, the Big Day came on October 26, 1 9 d6a0t,e of the transfer of the American League Senators from Washington to the Minneapolis and St. Paul territory, and the merger of three proud baseball traditions. For their new fans to gloat about, the renamed Minnesota Twins brought with them three pennants won in Washington, in 1924, '25 and '33, and a world championship in 1924. Now, their new boosters could claim a share of such Senator greats as Clark C. (Old Fox) Griffith, Wolter (Big Train) Johnson, Joe Cronin, Lean (Goose) Goslin, Clyde (Deerfoot) Milan, Ed Delahanty, James (Mickey) Vernon, Roy Sievers, and others. Reciprocally, the Twins could now absorb the glories of 18 American Asso- ciation pennants - nine won by St. Paul and nine by Minneapolis - in 59 seasons. They could be reminded of the tremendous pennant burst by St. Paul in 1920, with the Saints winning 115, losing only 49, posting a .701 percentage, and running away from Joe McCarthy's second-place Louisville Colonels by 28 1/2 games. Mike Kelley, the American Association's grand old man, managed that one and four other Saints flag winners before buying the Minneapolis club and putting together three more championship combinations. The pattern for winning boll in St. Paul was set early, in the first year of minor league ball, in fact.

  • Babe Ruth: Milestone Home Runs
    General Admission Home Run Milestones for Babe Ruth by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research The home run prowess of George Herman “Babe” Ruth is legendary. So are many of the home runs that he hit – towering shots that cleared the outfield fences in ballparks across the league. And the frequency with which he produced home runs is astounding: one every 11.76 at-bats, or roughly one home rune every 3.5 games. How many times did newspapers across the country feature a headline like this? Many consider Ruth the greatest player of all-time. He is certainly the greatest home run hitter the game has ever seen, the accomplishments of others like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays not withstanding. Debates will rage among fans and historians. Arguments involving SABRmetrics and other analytical methods will attempt to settle the matter in favor of one position or another. The simple truth is that Babe Ruth hit home runs more frequently during his career than any other baseball player, and in so doing he changed the way the game of baseball was played. As the game teetered on the edge of collapse because of the Black Sox scandal after the 1919 World Series, it was the home run heroics of Babe Ruth that kept the fans coming to the ball park. He drew crowds wherever he played. He made the game fun again. The following are brief excerpts about several of the home run milestones in the 22-year career of Babe Ruth. S. Derby Gisclair 1 404 Notre Dame Street – PH1 New Orleans LA 70130 General Admission May 6, 1915 Babe Ruth hits his first major league home run at the Polo Grounds in New York in the third inning, batting ninth in the order for the Boston Red Sox.
