Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.

LIGHT, LESS-FILLING, IT'S BLUE-RIBBON! Stephen F Ross* For well over a century, the claimed desire of baseball owners to maintain competitive balance has been a bugaboo used to justify any number of restraints of trade that would be plainly illegal in most American industries. For much of the sport's history, observers might well see the claims as entirely pretext- witness the New York Yankees' complete domination of the American League during the middle part of the Twentieth Century,' the combination of a rigid reserve clause with free cash sales of players to wealthy teams before World War 11,2 and the clubs' refusal to permit a return to historic revenue sharing of gate receipts until recent years,3 to cite a few examples. Recent efforts, however, cannot be explained entirely by a desire to restrict trade. In 1995, owners agreed to a significant sharing of revenue;4 in 2000, the Major League Constitution was amended to specify that the Commissioner's historic and broad powers to protect the "integrity of the national game of Baseball" included the public perception that "there is an appropriate level of long-term competitive balance among the clubs."5 Most *Professor of Law, University of Illinois.

  • The Amazing Walk…Gary Ward Explains How Valuable It Can Be
    The Amazing Walk…Gary Ward Explains How Valuable It Can Be By LOU PAVLOVICH, JR. Editor/Collegiate Baseball (From April 17, 2009 edition) LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Of all the offensive statistics that are measured in baseball, the lowly walk is undoubtedly one of the most important, according to Gary Ward, one of the best hitting coaches of all time. The most important number any offense ultimately produces is run production. When Ward was the head coach of Oklahoma State for 19 seasons, his teams led all NCAA Division I teams in run production six times, including four consecutive years from 1985-1988. Here is the breakdown for runs per game during those years: 1985: 10.56 runs per game. 1986: 10.76 runs per game. 1987: 11.43 runs per game. 1988: 11.28 runs per game. 1995: 10.55 runs per game. 1996: 11.36 runs per game. During those 19 years, his teams averaged 9.2 runs per game. And what fueled that incredible run production was a remarkable on-base percentage by his hitters which was kick started by walks. When you look at the on-base percentage of Ward’s teams during that time, his offense never had a lower on-base percentage than .423 after his first two seasons with the Cowboys. During the 1987 and 1988 seasons, the on-base percentages were extraordinary at .500 and .517. Breaking it down further, his teams walked more than any team in NCAA Division I history which allowed the on-base percentage to shoot through 1 the roof.

  • Clutch and Choke Hitters in Major League Baseball: Romantic Myth Or Empirical Fact
    Clutch and Choke Hitters in Major League Baseball: Romantic Myth or Empirical Fact. By: Elan Fuld 1st Released draft May 19th 2005 Page 2 ABSTRACT For a long time now, sabermetricians (baseball statisticians) believed that, at the Major League level, hitters who are truly clutch or choke performers1 do not really exist, even while the many managers, players, and announcers insist that they do exist. We performed statistical analyses to determine if clutch and/or choke hitters exist in the major leagues using all regular season play during the 1974-1992 seasons. We use a Gompertz regression2, a regression similar to logistic regression, but without symmetry around the point of inflection. Our independent variable is a probabilistically constructed measure of the ex ante importance of each plate appearance, and our dependent variable is based upon the value that OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) would assign to the outcome of the plate appearance.3 We find that clutch/choke effects do exist at the major league level. We also find that a relatively small proportion of major leaguers exhibit such effects. According to our findings, only about 2% of major leaguers are in fact either clutch or choke hitters.4 Furthermore, we find that clutch hitters are not always the players commonly thought to be clutch hitters. In some cases, they are the last people thought to be.
