I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

Over the past fve years, the number of high-profle murders at the hands of police has drawn national attention to the epidemic of police violence and the treatment of Black people in the United States (US). While the particular role played by police in the op- pression of Black people has been ongoing—a story told and retold with painstaking articulation in urban uprisings from Watts in 1965 to Baltimore in 2015—only recently have a signifcant number of petty-bourgeois and white people become familiar with it, newly “woke” to the sheer volume of incidents of brutality and murder per- petrated by police. Furthermore, only a select few cases were given coverage by mainstream media throughout the years, while today the epidemic nature of police violence is being more widely report- ed. In response to these outrages and to their revelation of a system- ic issue, hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets demanding justice, giving rise to a movement against unchecked police terror and violence. While noteworthy, this is hardly the frst incident of organized resistance to oppressive policing; the central, founding tenet of the Black Panther Party (BPP) at the time of its inception in 1966, for example, was to protect the Black community of Oak- land, California from the continuous abuse visited upon it by law enforcement (as is evident in the BPP’s original name: the Black Pan- 39 The October 22 Coalition logo.

  • Fred Worth Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics
    The Worst Hitters in Baseball History by Fred Worth Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics Abstract In this paper we are going to look at several metrics for determining the worst hitter in major league baseball history. Introduction Books have been written trying to determine who have been the best hitters in baseball history. In this paper, we are going to consider the opposite end of the baseball talent spectrum. We are going to look at the worst hitters in baseball history. But first, a disclaimer. Disclaimer There have been some people who have played major league baseball who had no business doing so. Eddie Gaedel, for instance, had no business wearing a major league uniform. In the early years of major league ball, teams often did not have very large rosters. Sometimes on a road trip they would even leave some of their players home. Then, if a player was hurt, they would be short-handed. To fix that, they might ask the crowd, "who wants to play?" They might get someone who can play. But sometimes they got someone who had no business walking on a baseball field. In more recent years, however, if a man makes it to the major leagues, he is NOT a bad hitter. Such things are relative. He may be the worst hitter in the league but the league is made up of the best baseball players in the world. So, with the exception of Gaedel, and maybe one or two other flukes, when I say "worst hitters," I realize I am describing men who are far better than I ever was.
