OR Win a Club Award highlighting on field performance and/or win the Club’s “Blacks” Award for service above and beyond to ensure the success of the Club. CLUB LETTERS (SERVICE): Level 4 must be achieved for one to be considered for Club Letters. LEVEL 1 - LEVEL 2 - LEVEL 3 - LEVEL 4 Serving as a Committee Member, Coach, Assistant Coach, Captain, Scorer or Team Manager for at least 5 years prior to the application. NOTES: Pitcher Wins After each game a Win is given to a pitcher (on the winning team) and a Loss is assigned to a pitcher (on the losing team). The win can be assigned to a starting pitcher or a relief pitcher depending on certain circumstances such as how many innings did the starting pitcher pitch before being relieved, was his Team in front or was the score tied when he was relieved, and his Team only won the game after the relief pitcher started to pitch etc. Given our winter seasons fluctuate between 15 and 16 minor round games plus possible finals, and allowing for washed out rounds due to unplayable conditions, and starting pitchers possibly being rotated weekly, to win 8 games in a season is a remarkable achievement. Batting Average Batting averages are worked out for each individual Team player. It is defined as the number of (Safe) hits divided by the number of (At-bats) as determined by a Team’s Scorer. So to achieve a Batting Average of .500 a player would need to hit safely once out of every two At -bats. Ie: If a player has 30 At-bats in a Season which is regarded as the minimum At-bats required to meet the criteria for a Blue or Half-Blue, he would need to obtain 15 Safe Hits to achieve a .500 Batting Average, which is very hard to achieve over a full season. The reason for this is that it is not just a matter of hitting the ball and getting to at least First Base, as it is up to the Scorers to determine whether or not it was a definite safe hit; whether the batter got safe due to an error by an opposition fielder; whether or not the opposition fielder made a normal or above normal effort to field the hit ball. Competition Award A Competition Award is an award given by the South Australian Winterball Association (SAWBA) which is affiliated to the South Australian Baseball League (SABL). Club Award All Coaches/Captains of Teams that play for Adelaide University Baseball Club are given sole responsibility for selecting Team Award winners at the end of each winter season and different Coaches/Captains like to award trophies for different criteria ranging from Most Valuable Player based on the player that obtains the most votes per game over the whole season, Best Batting Average, Best Team Fielder based on the player that obtains the most votes per game over the whole season, Most Improved, Best Team Player and Coaches Award. However, each Coach/Captain is limited to nominating for 3 Team Awards only each season. The Club Committee has also approved the introduction of an annual Club Award called the “Blacks” Award which is awarded to the Club Member whom the Committee deem has done the most each year to ensure the success of the Club. Each Team Coach and the Club President then put forward one name for the Committee to vote on, on a 4,3,2,1, basis and the person with the most votes win’s the award. The inaugural “Blacks” Award was presented by David Penn in 2019. Winterball Winterball has been run by the South Australian Winter Baseball Association (SAWBA) as a stand- alone competition since 1969 following the South Australian Baseball League’s (SABL) decision to convert from a winter baseball competition after the 1968 Season to a Summer Competition commencing with the first summer Season in 1968-69. The winter competition was continued to allow those people who already played a summer sport to continue to play Baseball in winter. It currently caters for many Clubs who mostly run multiple teams. Teams play over 3 different Divisions - 1, 2 and 3 with Division 2 split into North, Central and South Leagues and Division 3 having a Central League. The competition is quite strong as most teams are made up of a mixture of players who also play summer baseball as well as players who only play in winter. This review of our Jan 2014 Awards Criteria was initially completed by Club President Warren Pengilly 7/11/2019 and subsequently reviewed and amended 8/9/20. Submitted to AUBC Committee for acceptance and approved at Committee Meeting held 8/9/20. Submitted to SDO, AU Sport Inc for approval 17/9/20 Next Review Date: November 2023 .

    Baseball in Japan and the US History, Culture, and Future Prospects by Daniel A

    Sports, Culture, and Asia Baseball in Japan and the US History, Culture, and Future Prospects By Daniel A. Métraux A 1927 photo of Kenichi Zenimura, the father of Japanese-American baseball, standing between Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Source: Japanese BallPlayers.com at http://tinyurl.com/zzydv3v. he essay that follows, with a primary focus on professional baseball, is intended as an in- troductory comparative overview of a game long played in the US and Japan. I hope it will provide readers with some context to learn more about a complex, evolving, and, most of all, Tfascinating topic, especially for lovers of baseball on both sides of the Pacific. Baseball, although seriously challenged by the popularity of other sports, has traditionally been considered America’s pastime and was for a long time the nation’s most popular sport. The game is an original American sport, but has sunk deep roots into other regions, including Latin America and East Asia. Baseball was introduced to Japan in the late nineteenth century and became the national sport there during the early post-World War II period. The game as it is played and organized in both countries, however, is considerably different. The basic rules are mostly the same, but cultural differences between Americans and Japanese are clearly reflected in how both nations approach their versions of baseball. Although players from both countries have flourished in both American and Japanese leagues, at times the cultural differences are substantial, and some attempts to bridge the gaps have ended in failure. Still, while doubtful the Japanese version has changed the American game, there is some evidence that the American version has exerted some changes in the Japanese game.

    Working Paper Series, Paper No. 11-05 Organizational Differences between U.S. Major Leagues and European Leagues: Implications for Salary Caps Helmut Dietl†, Egon Franck††, Markus Lang††† and Alexander Rathke††††, March 2011 Abstract This paper outlines and compares the organizational structure of major sports leagues, explores the reasoning behind their formation, and derives implications for salary caps in European football. To understand why sports leagues have developed a specific organizational structure, one must take the economic peculiarities of team sports leagues into consideration. For this purpose, we analyze the production process and illuminate its major peculiarities. For example, we present the difference between economic competition and competition on the pitch and discuss the consequences of this distinction for an attractive final product. Furthermore, we show that a hold-up problem exists between the two stages of the production process and demonstrate how these problems are overcome by the organizational structure chosen by sports leagues. We also outline the differences between the U.S. major leagues and European leagues and document recent developments in that context.

Chairman’s Letter Thanks to all who attended the Business of Baseball Committee’s annual meeting during the Louisville convention. Some developments from the convention: New Co-Chair. A hearty welcome to Claudia Perry, new Co-Chair of the Business of Baseball Committee. Claudia, who also co-chairs the Women in Baseball Committee, has held numerous SABR offices and is our only four-time Jeopardy champion. In real life she’s a pop music critic at the Newark Star-Ledger. Claudia can be reached at 311 York Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302, or at [email protected]. Proposed Business of Baseball Award. At our annual meeting, Don Coffin proposed that the Committee establish an annual award for excellence in research into the business of baseball. The award -- a cash prize of approximately $200, raised through sponsorship or donations -- would be given annually at the SABR convention. Don and I believe that such an award could raise the Committee’s visibility among academics and other non-SABRites researching in our field, attracting new members and encouraging non- members to send copies of their work to the Committee. Some details of Don’s proposal: • All research published or completed during the previous calendar year would be eligible. • Candidates need not be SABR members, and may be nominated by others or nominate themselves.

    Baseball and Beesuboru

    AMERICAN BASEBALL IMPERIALISM, CLASHING NATIONAL CULTURES, AND THE FUTURE OF SAMURAI BESUBORU PETER C. BJARKMAN El béisbol is the Monroe Doctrine turned into a lineup card, a remembrance of past invasions. – John Krich from El Béisbol: Travels Through the Pan-American Pastime (1989) When baseball (the spectacle) is seen restrictively as American baseball, and then when American baseball is seen narrowly as Major League Baseball (MLB), two disparate views will tend to appear. In one case, fans happily accept league expansion, soaring attendance figures, even exciting home run races as evidence that all is well in this best of all possible baseball worlds. In the other case, the same evidence can be seen as mirroring the desperate last flailing of a dying institution – or at least one on the edge of losing any recognizable character as the great American national pastime. Big league baseball’s modern-era television spectacle – featuring overpaid celebrity athletes, rock-concert stadium atmosphere, and the recent plague of steroid abuse – has labored at attracting a new free-spending generation of fans enticed more by notoriety than aesthetics, and consequently it has also succeeded in driving out older generations of devotees once attracted by the sport’s unique pastoral simplicities. Anyone assessing the business health and pop-culture status of the North American version of professional baseball must pay careful attention to the fact that better than forty percent of today’s big league rosters are now filled with athletes who claim their birthright as well as their baseball training or heritage outside of the United States.

This paper presents a framework for evaluating the financial consequences of player transfers as seen from a club’s perspective. To this end, an objective player rating model is designed based on players’ contribution towards creating a positive goals differential for their team. A regression model is then applied to predict match outcomes as a function of the players involved in a match. Finally, Monte Carlo simulation is used to predict the final league standings and the financial gains obtained as a function of sporting success. The framework is illustrated on player transfers from the 2014-2015 English Premier League season. Keywords: association, football, rating, simulation, regression 1.

Baseball, Besuboru, Yakyu: Comparing the American and Japanese Games MASARU IKEI" One foreign sport-and only one-has acquired a certain mystique in Japan-baseball. The Japanese have even coined their own term for the game, yakyu, whereas all other imported recreations (football, soccer, tennis, basketball, and golf) are known to the Japanese only by their western names. The Japanese possess, as do the Americans, a spiritual connection with baseball. The Japanese traditionally equated the sport with the world of martial arts, hence their seriousness about the game. The Japanese adoption and embrace of baseball contrasts with the reception of baseball in Europe, where the game has attracted only a small following. Why is baseball, though not native to Japan, so popular? The reasons for the popularity of baseball are mainly historical.
