MATH WORKSHEETS High School: Read and answer questions 1. The Rockies’ revenue comes from ticket sales, concessions, parking, TV and radio contracts, as well as other sources. The Rockies’ greatest expense is player salaries. In 2019, the Rockies are expected to have an estimated payroll of $145.9 million. In 2018, the Rockies sold 3,015,880 tickets at an average price of about $26 per ticket, for a total ticket revenue of $78,412,880. This means ticket revenue in 2018 was enough to pay for about 53.7% of 2019 player salaries. In 2020, the Rockies estimated payroll is expected to rise to $177.3 million. To help pay for this, the team would like to see if they can generate more revenue through ticket sales. After studying the effects of raising ticket prices, the Rockies estimate that for every $1 decrease in average ticket price, they would sell 100,000 additional tickets in a year. Likewise, for every $1 increase in average ticket price, they would sell 100,000 fewer tickets in a year. The team calculates ticket revenue with the following model: ticket revenue = (number of tickets sold)(price per ticket) Let x = the change in average ticket price, in dollars. Refine the Rockies’ model by defining the number of tickets sold as 3,015,880 tickets minus the estimated decrease in ticket sales per dollar of average ticket price increase, and define the price per ticket as $26 plus the increase in average ticket price. With your refined model, what change in average ticket price results in the maximum increase in ticket revenue? Is the increased ticket revenue enough to keep paying for 53.7% of player salaries in 2020? What other factors influence ticket sales and how might you include them to further refine the ticket revenue model? 2021 MATH DAY MATH WORKSHEETS 2.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

Presidents and Baseball in Dc
TEAM UP JANUARY TOUCH BASE 2021 PRESIDENTS AND BASEBALL IN DC Across the country, Opening Day marks the beginning of a new Major League Baseball season. In Washington, DC, Opening Day is truly unique because it often makes history. Major League Baseball’s ceremonial first pitch goes back to April 14, 1910. William Howard Taft, the 27th president of the United States, attended the home opener of the Washington Senators against the Philadelphia Athletics. A sold out crowd of 12,226 fans—the largest baseball crowd in Washington at that time—gave President Taft a standing ovation as he made his way to his seats along the first-base line. Just prior to the start of the game, umpire Billy Evans walked over to President Taft’s box and presented him with a new baseball. Evans instructed President Taft that he was to throw the ball from his seat in the stands to Senators pitcher Walter Johnson to officially start the season. With Taft’s on-target throw, the ceremonial first pitch was born. The president watched the whole game, a 3-0 Washington win in which Johnson threw a one-hit, complete-game shutout. From 1910 through 1972, when the Washington Senators left for Texas, 11 presidents threw a ceremonial first pitch 45 times on Opening Day, or at the team’s home opener if they began the season on the road. In those games the Senators won 23 and lost 22. Prior to the Senators move, every president since Taft was in attendance for a Washington Senators home opener at least once.

Washington, Dc and the Mlb All-Star Game
TEAM UP FEBRUARY TOUCH BASE 2021 WASHINGTON, DC AND THE MLB ALL-STAR GAME The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is also known as the “Midsummer Classic.” The game features the best players in the National League (NL) playing against the best players in the American League (AL). Fans choose the starting lineups; and a combination of players, coaches, and managers choose the rest of the players on the All-Star rosters. The game is played every year, usually on the second or third Tuesday in July. The very first All-Star Game was on July 6, 1933, at the home of the Chicago White Sox. Only two times since then has the game not been played — in 1945 due to World War II travel restrictions, and 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nationals Park and Washington, DC were at the center of the baseball universe in July 2018, serving as host of the 89th Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Remember all those festivities? This may come as a surprise, but that was actually the fifth time the All-Star Game was played in DC. Here is a little bit about each of the All-Star Games played in the Nation’s Capital. JULY 7, 1937 The 1937 Midsummer Classic, which was the fifth Major League Baseball All-Star Game, was played on July 7, at Griffith Stadium. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in attendance, making this the first All-Star Game to be played in front of a current President. The American League won the game 8-3, improving to 4 wins and 1 loss in the five games.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

A State Divided: the Civil War in Kentucky Civil War in the Bluegrass
$5 Fall 2013 KentuckyKentucky Humanities Council, Inc. humanities A State Divided: The Civil War in Kentucky Civil War in the Bluegrass e are 150 years removed from the Civil War, yet it still creates strong emotions in many Americans. The War Between the States split the nation deeply and divided Kentucky, pitting friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, and even father against son. WKentucky’s future was forever changed by the events of the Civil War. In commemoration of the Civil War’s sesquicentennial, we are pleased to share with you a wide array of Kentucky perspectives and issues that developed throughout the war. What would Abraham Lincoln say about slavery and the Civil War if he were alive today? Stephen A. Brown conducts a “conversation” with President Lincoln through chronicled speeches and writings. His article is on page 7. Camp Nelson played a pivotal role in the destruction of slavery in the Commonwealth. W. Stephen McBride shares the history of Kentucky’s largest recruitment and training center for Ben Chandler African American soldiers and what remains of Camp Nelson today. Executive Director John Hunt Morgan is widely known for his Confederate Cavalry raids, overshadowing fellow Kentucky Humanities Council Kentuckian George Martin Jessee, known as “Naughty Jessee.” Mark V. Wetherington tells us about the lesser known Confederate Cavalryman on page 15. While Kentucky’s men were off fighting for both the Union and the Confederacy, their wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters were left to take care of the family and home. On page 18, Nancy Baird shares the stories of several Kentucky women who bravely kept the home fires burning during the Civil War.
