  • 59 Pennant Clincher Remains Golden for Fans, Players
    Anniversary of ‘59 pennant-clincher is golden for White Sox fans, players By Paul Ladewski Posted on Monday, September the 21st Even all these years later, long-time White Sox fans can still tell you where they were on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 1959, the night that the White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians to capture their first American League pennant in 40 years. “We can’t help but remember it,” former outfielder Jim Rivera said of his career highlight almost 50 years to the day later. “That was the only thing a lot of us ever did in baseball.” “No, it doesn’t seem like 50 years ago,” said Billy Pierce, who helped anchor the pitching staff that season. “I remember it well. How can you forget it? We tried to win a pennant for a long time, and we finally won one.” The pennant-winner would be the defining moment for the White Sox in the 1950’s decade, the so-called Go-Go era in which they won 90-or-more games four times. “It’s very, very surprising, but when I talk to people, they seem to remember 1959 better than 2005 -- and we didn’t win the World Series and that team did, you know?” Pierce said. “The 1950s were a very exciting time for baseball as a whole. Nostalgia-wise, they seem to remember the players an awful lot. Not long after the 4-2 victory, civil defense sirens wailed in the night to signal the news but set off a near panic instead. Because the country was in the throes of the Cold War at the time, some of the non-baseball population braced for an attack and ran for cover.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-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 field, 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.
