Baseball Stars Join Fight to Cure Prostate Cancer Mark Mcgwire and Ken Griffey, Jr Baseball Stars Join Fight To Cure Prostate Cancer Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey, Jr. among Major Leaguers in 1999 CaP CURE Home Run Challenge Baseball Stars Join Fight To Cure Prostate Cancer Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey, Jr. among Major Leaguers in 1999 CaP CURE Home Run Challenge SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- May 18, 1999 -- A year after Mark McGwire's record-breaking home run season, the St. Louis slugger is joining more than 70 Major League players and managers to participate in a unique program to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research. CaP CURE's Home Run Challenge focuses attention on the importance of research to cure prostate cancer, a disease that affects one out of every six American men. From June 2025, every home run hit will raise funds for research, with individuals from around the country making pledges for each home run in 60 scheduled games. Now in its fourth year, the Home Run Challenge will be stronger than ever with the participation of more players, more managers and new partners in the National Prostate Cancer Coalition and the Cancer Research Institute. "I'm happy I can help raise money for prostate cancer research and increase public awareness by doing what I enjoy," said Terry Steinbach, Home Run Challenge player representative and catcher for the Minnesota Twins. Mark McGwire, who lent his support to the program during his record-breaking year, added "I'm proud to use my talents in the fight against prostate cancer. If we all do our part, some day older men like my father will never have to worry about the disease. And neither will our sons.' Teams are supporting the program by hosting pre-game ceremonies, running public service announcements on radio, television and stadium screens, as well donating tickets to cancer survivors and researchers. Player representatives from all 30 Major League teams are promoting the Home Run Challenge. Terry Steinbach is the lead player representative, with Reggie Jackson and Tommy Lasorda serving as the project's Goodwill Ambassadors. Mark McGwire has filmed a public service announcement that promotes both the program and prostate cancer awareness. Ken Griffrey, Jr. will be featured in Home Run Challenge promotions. Other participating Major League players include: Jay Bell, Tim Salmon, Barry Larkin, Mike Bordick, Al Martin, Ray Durham, Nomar Garciaparra, Jeff Bagwell, Jim Thome, Scott Brosius, Jason Giambi, Walt Weiss, Dante Bichette, Eric Karros, Jeff Cirillo, Mike Sweeney, Ron Coomer, Dan Wilson, Carlos Delgado, Stan Javier, Mark Grace, Paul Sorretto, Scott Rolen, Greg Myers, Jorge Fabregas, Eli Marrero, Dean Palmer, Ivan Rodriguez, Chris Widger and Robin Ventura. All 30 Major League managers are participating. Tony La Russa, Dusty Baker, Lou Piniella, Tom Kelly, Johnny Oates, Felipe Alou and prostate cancer survivor, Joe Torre are serving as the project's lead managers. "My goal is to increase the awareness of prostate cancer and help raise money for research," said Tony LaRussa, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. "Prostate cancer should be a concern for all men, but men over 40 should lead the charge because of our increased risk." YAHOO! PITCHES IN FOR CaP CURE The Home Run Challenge makes it easy for everyone to join the fight. Individuals can make a pledge of 25 cents to $10,000 for each home run hit during Major League games from June 20-25. Individuals cans also make a one-time contribution.

  • 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.
