  • Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER 1 Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed King Arthur’s quest for it in the Middle Ages became a large part of his legend. Monty Python and Indiana Jones launched their searches in popular 1974 and 1989 movies. The mythic quest for the Holy Grail, the name given in Western tradition to the chal- ice used by Jesus Christ at his Passover meal the night before his death, is now often a metaphor for a quintessential search. In the illustrious history of baseball, the “holy grail” is a ranking of each player’s overall value on the baseball diamond. Because player skills are multifaceted, it is not clear that such a ranking is possible. In comparing two players, you see that one hits home runs much better, whereas the other gets on base more often, is faster on the base paths, and is a better fielder. So which player should rank higher? In Baseball’s All-Time Best Hitters, I identified which players were best at getting a hit in a given at-bat, calling them the best hitters. Many reviewers either disapproved of or failed to note my definition of “best hitter.” Although frequently used in base- ball writings, the terms “good hitter” or best hitter are rarely defined. In a July 1997 Sports Illustrated article, Tom Verducci called Tony Gwynn “the best hitter since Ted Williams” while considering only batting average.

  • Almost a Pelican
    Almost A Pelican By S. Derby Gisclair The winningest pitcher in Cleveland Indians history, in 1962 Feller became the first pitcher since charter member Walter Johnson to be elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Though regarded as the fastest pitcher of his day, he himself attributed his strikeout records to his curve and slider. Blessed with a strong arm and an encouraging father, young Feller pitched to a makeshift backstop on the family farm near Van Meter, Iowa. Cleveland scout Cy Slapnicka signed him for one dollar and an autographed baseball. His velocity became an immediate legend when he struck out eight Cardinals in a three-inning exhibition stint. He came up as a 17- year-old at the end of 1936 and fanned 15 Browns in his first ML start and 17 Athletics shortly thereafter. But he was extremely wild. In 1938 he became a regular starter for the Indians. He won 17 and led the AL in strikeouts with 240. He also set a ML record with 208 walks. Although he led the AL in walks three more times, his control progressively improved. Meanwhile, he led the AL in both strikeouts and wins from 1939 to 1941. In 1940, he won his personal high with 27, including an Opening Day no-hitter against the White Sox. Yet the year was tarnished, first when Cleveland veterans, including Feller, earned the nickname Crybabies by asking Cleveland owner Alva Bradley to replace stern manager Ossie Vitt. Then Feller lost the season's climactic game and the pennant to Tigers unknown Floyd Giebell, despite pitching a three-hitter.

Although the concept of an All-Star game dates back to 1858 and a game between all- star teams from Brooklyn and New York, it was sixty-two years ago that the first modern all-star game was held, July 6, 1933. In six decades this game has become a marvelous showcase for the best baseball talent, the marking point for mid-season, and a great promotional event for baseball. The game itself was the creation of Arch Ward sports editor of the Chicago Tribune who was able to persuade the owners to hold a game between the American and National League All-Stars in Chicago in conjunction with the Century of Progress Exhibition of 1933.

  • Branch Rickey Was Born in 1880 and Branch Rickey Grew up on a Modest Farm in Southern Wohio
    esley Branch Rickey was born in 1880 and Branch Rickey grew up on a modest farm in southern WOhio. His parents instilled Branch with General Manager, strong Christian values that would remain with him throughout his life. Schooled in a one room St. Louis Cardinals schoolhouse, he taught himself Latin and Greek and went on to attend Ohio Wesleyan University where he played baseball and football. While still in college, he was invited to play professional baseball. Wanting his parents’ approval for his involvement in pro ball, he pledged to them to never go into a baseball stadium on a Sunday, a promise that became a lifetime commitment. After a short stint as a catcher with the St. Louis Browns and New York Highlanders, he went on to complete his law degree at the University of Michigan. After coaching for a short time at Michigan, he spent most of the next ten years managing in the major leagues. It was Branch’s sharp eye for talent that brought him to the business side of baseball, where he would revolutionize the game. As General Manager for the St. Louis Cardinals, Rickey originated the concept of the “farm system”, utilizing minor league farm clubs to develop talent for major league teams. Soon the Cardinals were a National League power and teams everywhere were copying Branch’s system. Thanks to Rickey’s innovation and determination, the Cardinals produced nine pennants and six world championships from 1926 -1947. Later as president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Rickey decided that in order for baseball to be truly “the national pastime,” a long tradition of whites-only would have to be broken.

  • Baseball Under Glass
    Frazier hasn’t seen vintage Brooksie, but he’ll add his own third-base highlights By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Wednesday, March 9, 2016 Maybe it’s to Todd Frazier’s advantage not to have seen films of Brooks Robinson’s third-base clinic in the 1970 World Series that cemented the Orioles great’s Hall of Fame election. A glimpse of the vacuum-cleaner routine, with Brooksie diving across the third-base line, then in one motion straightening up to fire to first might put ideas in the glib Frazier’s head. You want to play aggressively, but you don’t want to try to play beyond your level. “I might not make it look good as [Robinson], but I’ll get it done,” said the White Sox’s top off- season acquisition, who already has become a clubhouse emotional centerpiece in spring train- ing. “I think you can always improve,” added Frazier. “I feel very confident over there. I think I’m one of the elite third basemen. Not being cocky, just Todd Frazier thoroughly enjoys the defen- being confident.” sive challenges of third base. You can count on one hand the great all-around third basemen in Sox history. Unless there’s an unexpected backsliding in his career, Frazier will join the likes of Robin Ventura, Joe Crede, Bill Melton and Buck Weaver. Crede and Melton would have had even more stellar seasons if not for back problems in the prime of their careers. Finding an all-around player to man the hot corner is one of the hardest tasks in the game.

    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No. 3, Apr. 17, 2009) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Joe Dier NCBWA Membership: With the 2008-09 hoops season now in the record books, the collegiate spotlight is focusing more closely on the nation’s baseball diamonds. Though we’re heading into the final month of the season, there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead on the road to Omaha and the 2009 NCAA College World Series. The NCAA will soon be announcing details of next month’s tournament selection announcements naming the regional host sites (May 24) and the 64-team tournament field (May 25). To date, four different teams have claimed the top spot in the NCBWA’s national Division I polls --- Arizona State, Georgia, LSU, and North Carolina. Several other teams have graced the No. 1 position in other national polls. The NCAA’s mid-April RPI listing has Cal State Fullerton leading the 301-team pack, with 19 teams sporting 25-win records through games of April 12. For the record, New Mexico State tops the wins list with a 30-6 mark. As the conference races heat up from coast to coast, the NCBWA will begin the process for naming its All- America teams and the Divk Howser Trophy (see below). We will have a form going out to conference offices and Division I independents in coming days. Last year’s NCBWA-selected team included 56 outstanding baseball athletes, and we want to have the names of all deserving players on the table for consideration for this year’s awards.
