  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more "full-time" years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and field, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on.

"New York Giants - One of the leading pitchers in the Giants' ascent to the National League throne. A right-hander, 6 ft. 1 in. tall and weighs around 195 pounds. Started professional career with Toledo in 1926. First went up to Giants in Fall of 1929.

  • Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Spring 2016
    Somewhere in England Baseball in the European Theater during 1943 Baseball European in the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter—Special Edition Vol. 8 No. 42 Spring 2016 Introduction I’m sure you’ve already noticed that this newsletter is a little different from previous editions. For some time now I’ve been planning on compiling a detailed history of the baseball season played by the US military in Britain in 1943. Why 1943? Well, apart from featuring two major events – an all-professional game in London and the 20-team ETO World Series - it was the only “stable” year for American servicemen in Europe. American military personnel began arriving in 1942, but their numbers were limited, movement was regular and no formal baseball leagues were in operation. In 1944, there were more servicemen in Britain than any other year, but with the invasion of mainland Europe in June, many units were either there for only a brief period of time or on the move to Europe in support of advancing troops. In 1945, the war in Europe came to an end in May, and while it’s true thousands of servicemen remained until at least the end of the summer, many units were shipping back home or to the Pacific immediately after the Nazi surrender. Therefore, 1943, was the only year in which a large number of units had arrived during the preceding winter or spring months and remained until at least the following year. One thing I should point out is that this is not a complete account of every game played by American servicemen during 1943.

  • Spring Training NY Giants
    NY Giants Spring Photo Collection of C & H Training By Sam A. Christopher John D. Rockefeller Estate, Lakewood, NJ n a bright, sunny Sunday early in March 1943, more than O1,200 Lakewood area folks descended on the downtown train depot. The turnout wasn’t for the grand opening of a hotel in the winter resort, nor was it to see heavyweight-boxing champion, Joe Louis train. It was an auspicious, warm welcome for the New York Giants baseball team for their World War II spring training in 1943, 1944 and 1945 in town. What a reception – one that made headlines in the New York region sports pages. Mel Ott, Carl Hubbell, Ernie Lombardi and Joe (Ducky Wucky) Medwick, all were later enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. I was the luckiest boy in town. A sophomore at Lakewood High School, I got to “cover” the Giants for the Lakewood Daily Times with sporadic stories, supplementing my writing the high school sports. A high point was chatting with Mel Ott in the locker room. He was the last Giant to finish cleaning up after a practice at the old John D. Rockefeller Estate, the team’s spring home. “Can I help you, son?” Ott asked. After stumbling for words I conversed with the Giants right fielder/manager. The Louisiana native was kind and gracious. His career high 511 home runs, was the record in the National League until broken by Willie Mays in 1966. Ott spent his entire 22-year base- ball career with the Giants and was the National Lea- gues leading homer hitter from 1937 until Mays came Photo Collection of C & H along.
