  • BASEBALL: the OLD DAYS (Originally Published July 1977)
    BASEBALL: THE OLD DAYS (Originally published July 1977) A recent article in Sports Illustrated on Roger Marris brought back memories of baseball—the baseball that once was played more than fifty years ago. In 1961, Marris broke the old Babe Ruth record and, with Mantle batting behind him in the clean-up spot, made up half of the combination the Home Run Twins, which belted out a total of 115 homers that season. Marris' career in the lime-light was relatively short lived as compared to heroes like Ruth and DiMaggio, who preceded him and Mantle who outlasted him. But Marris and Mantle weren't even born fifty years ago. My own baseball heroes were guys you never heard of, like "Deadpan" Bob Dowie, "Oyster Joe" Martina and Ollie Tucker. They used to play for the New Orleans Pelicans back in the 1920s, and they played in old Alex Heinemann’s ballpark on the corner of Tulane and Carrollton Avenues next to the railroad tracks and the New Basin Canal where the Fontainebleau Hotel now stands. Alex was a crusty, cigar-smoking, elderly bachelor, a supposedly philanthropic gent who loved all children. He was especially fond of young boys wearing tight britches. After Alex died, they changed the name of his park to Pelican Stadium. Anyway, in those days, unless you lived in one of the eleven major league cities, the real baseball heroes were those in your hometown, playing in a league like the old Class AA Southern Association or, over here in Georgia, the Sally League. Sure, we kept up with the majors and knew about the Indians and Senators, and about John McGraw's Giants or Connie Mack's Athletics, and the big stars like Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Walter "Big Train" Johnson, "Dizzy" Vance and Hank De Berry, but they were just sport page names of teams and players we read about but never saw unless they happened to come through town for a preseason exhibition with the local club.

The Reds lose to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-1, before a sellout crowd of 42,343 MLB.COM Get the season started with 30 cool Statcast stats for 30 teams MLB.com analyst Mike Petriello looks back at the some of the best Statcast findings in the inaugural year of the new analysis tool By Mike Petriello / MLB.com | @mike_petriello | March 30th, 2016 + 0 COMMENTS This marks the second season of Statcast™, and that means we have an entire season of data about exit velocity, spin rate, extension, arm strength, lead distance, launch angle and just about anything else you can think of, for every team. Let's get the season started in style by running down an interesting Statcast™ stat for each team -- in many cases, something that never could have been measured prior to 2015. AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Blue Jays: 1.07 seconds: Ryan Goins' baseball-leading exchange time, which is a way to measure the time that elapses between a fielder receiving the ball and releasing the throw. What that means is that no infielder in the game managed to get rid of the ball as quickly as Goins did, which makes sense given his stellar defensive reputation. Orioles: 82.2 mph: Darren O'Day's average exit velocity against on four-seam fastballs, the second lowest among 407 pitchers who threw at least 100 of them. Despite averaging just 88 mph on his otherwise unimposing fastball, O'Day's swing-and-miss rate of 36.8 percent was better than every pitcher other than Aroldis Chapman, and the hitters that did make contact against O'Day's funky sidearm delivery failed to make good contact, leading to a .097 average against it.

However, that arrangement public as well as many Major League teams. would have to be modified each year since the eight game inter- league sets would add 32 games while the intraleague reductions However, this is also a good opportunity to would only account for 28 games.

    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.
