  • Phillies' Manuel Joins Elit
    | Sign In | Register powered by: 7:10 PM ET CSN/FxFl Prev Philadelphia (58-48, 26-31 Road) Hea HAS BEEN CURED BY DOC'S PITCHING Florida (53-53, 28-27 Home) Eagles Phillies Flyers Sixers College Union Rally Extra Fantasy Smack Columns NEWS VIDEO PHOTOS SCORES SCHEDULE TICKETS ODDS FORUM STANDINGS STATS ROSTER SH Phillies' Manuel joins elite 500-win club LATEST PHILLIES By Rich Westcott POSTED: August 4, 2010 For The Inquirer EMAIL PRINT SIZE 12 COMMENTS Recommend The Little General, The Father of Baseball, and the Wizard of Oz have a new partner. Charlie Manuel has become part of their group. When the Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies at the end of July, Manuel became the fourth manager in Phillies history to lead the club to 500 wins. In so doing, Manuel joined Gene Mauch (646 wins), Harry Wright (636), and Danny Ozark (594) as Phillies skippers who have won 500 or more games. Manuel achieved his lofty status faster than the other three. He did it midway through his sixth season, just 16 days before Ozark won his 500th. Mauch, the Phillies' skipper from 1960-68, reached the milestone in his seventh season, while Wright (1884-93), managing in seasons when the schedules were considerably shorter, took nine years to get there. Now 66 and the oldest manager in team history, Manuel has led the Phillies to levels none of the other three ever did. His Phillies have gone to the World Series twice, and he is the only manager whose teams have posted 85 or more wins five straight years.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

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.

    Don't count on Phils repeating as champs | Philadelphia Inquirer ... http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/39606702.html SPORTS Welcome Guest | Register | Sign In High School Sports email this print this TEXT SIZE: A A A A Posted on Sat, Feb. 14, 2009 Don't count on Phils repeating as champs In five trips to the Series, the team didn't make it back the next year, much less repeat. By Rich Westcott For The Inquirer The euphoria from the Phillies' 2008 World Series victory has yet to subside, but as spring training begins, the speculation already has started. Can the Phillies do it again? Can the team that was one of the best in Philadelphia baseball history and one that captured the hearts of the region win a second consecutive World Series championship? Will there be another parade down Broad Street? While posing that question, which the Phillies and most of their fans hope will be answered in the affirmative, let's look at what the team did in the years after its previous trips to the World Series. The Phils appeared in the Fall Classic in 1915, 1950, 1980, ERIC MENCHER / Staff Photographer 1983 and 1993. Phillies catcher Darren Daulton (right) and reliever Mitch Williams during the 1993 World Despite high expectations, there were no repeats. In the Series against Toronto. last half-century, only one of Philadelphia's major sports teams, the 1974-75 Flyers, won two championships in a row. And in baseball, no team has won two straight since 1 of 3 View images the 1998-2000 New York Yankees.

  • Manuel Manages to Join Quir
    Manuel manages to join quirky Phillies company - The Delaware County ... http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2009/09/15/sports/doc4aaf58bdf2a5... Serving Delaware County, PA Sports Published: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 No comments posted. | Email to a friend | Print version | ShareThis | RSS Feeds By Rich Westcott, Special to the Times Click to enlarge It doesn’t take a math whiz to figure out where Charlie Manuel ranks on the all-time list of Phillies managers. The numbers are easily understandable. They show that Manuel has joined the Little General, the Father of Baseball, and the guy who claimed that “even Napoleon had his Watergate,” as the most successful managers in Phillies history. When he won his 432nd game recently, Manuel moved into fourth place on the team’s all-time victories list for managers, trailing only Gene Mauch (646), Harry Wright (636), and Danny Ozark (594). Manuel, in his fifth season, reached 432 faster than the other three. By moving past Jim Fregosi, Manuel, who at 65 is the oldest man to ever manage the Phillies, put himself in line for some other milestones. He could become the team’s first manager to win 85 or more games five years 1 of 5 9/15/2009 3:56 PM Manuel manages to join quirky Phillies company - The Delaware County ... http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2009/09/15/sports/doc4aaf58bdf2a5... in a row.
