  • Designated Hitters and Subesquent Team Scoring
    DESIGNATED HITTERS AND SUBESQUENT TEAM SCORING PERFORMANCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF SCIENCE BY SARAH E. CHO DR. HOLMES FINCH – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2020 2 ABSTRACT RESEARCH PAPER: Designated Hitters and Subsequent Team Scoring Performance in Major League Baseball STUDENT: Sarah E. Cho DEGREE: Master of Science COLLEGE: Teachers College DATE: July 2020 PAGES: 27 The Designated Hitter (DH) rule in Major League Baseball (MLB) is a topic of great debate. In the National League (NL), all players take a turn at bat. However, in the American League (AL), a DH usually bats for the pitcher. MLB pitchers typically do not have strong batting averages. The DH rule was created to increase a team’s offense. This study looked at whether there is an apparent difference between the AL and the NL. In theory, a DH will lead to more hits, more runs, and therefore a higher scoring game. This study looked at the average runs per game and total home runs for the AL and NL during the 1998 through 2018 regular seasons. Since the assumptions of parametric multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were not met, a nonparametric analysis was used. The permutation test for multivariate means results showed an apparent difference between the two leagues (p < .05). A quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) was used as a follow up test and showed home runs as the variable driving the difference between the two leagues. Therefore, the AL has better scoring performance than the NL.

  • 2013 NSLNC FIRST ROUND: Line Change Since Television and Sports
    2013 NSLNC FIRST ROUND: Line Change GENERAL FACTS FOR BOTH TEAMS Since television and sports collided in the 1950’s, the value of professional sports franchises, advertising revenue, and player salaries have continued to skyrocket. In the last 20 years, many teams, leagues, and collegiate conferences have decided to start their own networks to capitalize off the money generated from advertising dollars. Other sports entities have instead sold the rights to the broadcast of games to the highest bidder. Chicago is the third largest television region in the United States and has numerous networks that cover sports. WGN, Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and Comcast SportsNet Chicago, are among the local station affiliates televising the Blackhawks, Cubs, White Sox, Bears, and Bulls. The Parties WGN WGN television is owned by the Tribune Company, which owns Chicago’s largest newspaper, the Times-Tribune, and received the WGN call letters from the Tribune’s slogan, “World’s Greatest Newspaper.” The local WGN network began over-the-air broadcasting in 1948, and moved to cable television in 1978, rebranding itself as “the Superstation.” WGN is available through most cable and satellite providers, including DirecTV and Dish Network, but remains unavailable on Comcast, RCN, WOW!, and AT&T U-verse in the Chicagoland area. Following the 2013-2014 NHL season, the Blackhawks television contract with both WGN and Comcast SportsNet are set to expire. Blackhawks officials are currently negotiating the broadcasting rights with interested parties. Under the expiring WGN deal signed in 2008, WGN had the right to televise 50 regular season games during the course of the deal that are not being televised nationally on either NBC or the NBC Sports Network.

  • February 2, 2015 Csnchicago.Com Chicago Says Goodbye to Mr. Cub Ernie Banks by Patrick Mooney Mr. Cub Is Gone, Leaving This Fran
    February 2, 2015 CSNChicago.com Chicago says goodbye to Mr. Cub Ernie Banks By Patrick Mooney Mr. Cub is gone, leaving this franchise and this city without one of its greatest ambassadors. An A-list crowd turned out at Fourth Presbyterian Church on Saturday morning, memorializing Ernie Banks on what would have been his 84th birthday, remembering his excellence on the field and grace off the field. Sunshine beamed into the stained-glass windows during a ceremony that lasted more than 90 minutes and aired live on multiple TV channels. It almost felt like a Cooperstown exhibit had come to downtown Chicago with Hall of Famers Billy Williams, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Reggie Jackson, Joe Torre, Lou Brock, Andre Dawson and Fergie Jenkins. Banks, who died last week after suffering a heart attack, probably would have wondered what all the fuss was about. He didn’t want to talk about his game — 512 career home runs, a Gold Glove at shortstop and a spot on Major League Baseball’s All-Century Team — or what it was like when he played. “Ernie was unassuming,” Jenkins said. “He didn’t want the title of being a star. He wanted to be a teammate.” Banks would have loved to listen to the laughter and the upbeat music. Calvin Bridges’ Chicago Praise Ensemble sung “This Little Light of Mine” and “Oh Happy Day,” clapping from the balcony. Williams remembered going to spring training as the next big prospect in the late 1950s and can still see that smiling face welcoming him to the organization.

  • September 26, 2015 Chicago Tribune Cubs Secure First Playoff Berth Since
    September 26, 2015 Chicago Tribune Cubs secure first playoff berth since 2008 after Giants lose to Oakland By Mark Gonzales It took some help from the Oakland Athletics late Friday night, but the Chicago Cubs received their first National League playoff berth since 2008. Despite a 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday at Wrigley Field, the Cubs (89-64) backed into the playoffs by virtue of the Athletics’ 5-4 victory over the Giants (79-74) at the Oakland Coliseum. The Cubs are assured no worse than playing in the NL wild-card game on Oct. 7 – with the Pirates (94-60) being their likely opponent. The wild card game will be played at PNC Park as long as the Pirates finish ahead of the Cubs. This marks the fifth playoff appearance in 10 seasons for manager Joe Maddon, who directed the Tampa Bay Rays to four American League playoffs (2008, 2010-11, 2013). This also is the first playoff berth for the Ricketts family, which purchased a majority interest in the Cubs from the Tribune Co. in October of 2009. Some Cubs players and manager Joe Maddon said after Friday's game that they didn't plan on staying up to await a Giants result. “No. I won’t,” outfielder Chris Coghlan said. “I’m going to get rest. We play at (12:05 p.m.).” Maddon had an interesting way of explaining how he might follow the Giants-A’s game. “Probably when I have to go to the bathroom at night,” Maddon quipped, adding that the Cubs could celebrate “maybe via text.” But the Cubs' Dexter Fowler and Jake Arrieta apparently stayed up.

  • Thanks to Wrigley, Market-Rate TV Rights Fees Never a Part of the Long WGN-Cubs Marriage
    Thanks to Wrigley, market-rate TV rights fees never a part of the long WGN-Cubs marriage By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, February 22, 2013 The genesis of the possible divorce be- tween WGN-TV and the Cubs in 2014 after an astounding 67 years of broad- cast matrimony actually dates back even two decades earlier. The ability of WGN to get something for virtually nothing – setting up the dickering over market-rate Cubs TV rights fees the station hasn’t been used to paying – had its origin in the 1920s. That’s when two dynamic Williams – Cubs owner William Wrigley Jr. and William Wrigley Jr. (center) and William L. Veeck (right) team president William L. Veeck – talk with Cubs manager Joe McCarthy. Wrigley and came up with the sensible idea that Veeck established the Cubs' philosophy of exposing broadcast exposure whets the appetite their product via free or low-cost broadcast rights. for buying tickets to live events. Photo credit: SDN-069499, Chicago Daily News nega- tives collection, Chicago History Museum. Wrigley and Veeck, father of “Baseball Barnum” Bill Veeck of much greater fame, were the antithesis of the nervous sports ex- ecutives who loathed giving away their product on the air for fear fans would not buy tickets. This attitude, applying to both radio and TV broadcasts, was disproved resound- ingly over the decades, so now all sports events have the prying eye of TV on hand. The last holdout was in Chicago, where Blackhawks owner Bill Wirtz banned home telecasts until he died in 2007.

Lemke1, Matthew Leonard1, and Kelebogile Tlhokwane1 Abstract Using games from Major League Baseball’s 2007 season, individual game attendance is estimated using censored normal regression with home-team fixed-effects. Included in the model are several factors affecting attendance, such as divisional and interleague rivalries, that to date have been omitted from the literature. The rela- tionship between attendance and game characteristics is shown to be fundamentally different between small market and large market teams. Attendance is also shown to steadily increase as the probability that the home team will win the game increases, which stands in contrast to the uncertainty of outcome hypothesis that predicts that attendance will eventually decrease if the home team’s chance of winning the game gets too large.
