  • California Dreamin'
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 6, Nos. 7 & 8 (1984) California Dreamin’ West Coast Pros in the 1930s By Bob Gill, in association with Tod Maher Back in the days when major-league football did not exist west of the Mississippi, the Pacific Coast Pro Football League of the 1940s paved the way for the coming West Coast franchises in the NFL and AAFC. But even before that, all through the 1930s a series of abortive leagues and independent teams laid the foundation in California for the ultimately successful Pacific Coast league. Most notable, of course, were the achievements of the Los Angeles Bulldogs, who from 1936-38 fielded a team capable of competing with NFL clubs. But even on a slightly lower level, California pro football in the ‘30s was, if not thriving, at least hanging in there, keeping the doors open until the public was ready to welcome its product. For the first few years of that decade, pro football on the West Coast consisted solely of post-season barnstorming by NFL teams like Ernie Nevers’ Chicago Cardinals. But 1934 saw the appearance of the fledgling Pacific Coast Pro Football league; and though the circuit didn’t last long, at least its choice of a name proved ultimately enduring. The league featured six teams, four clustered around Los Angeles, the other two from the San Francisco area. Its original ambitious schedule called for a ten-game season beginning Sept. 23 and ending Dec. 30. Most notable may have been the financial arrangements, with players receiving no salaries; instead, after each game, members of the winning team were to receive $75 apiece, those on the losing club $50.

  • Donald L. Korb Chief Counsel, Internal Revenue Service Speech
    Donald L. Korb Chief Counsel, Internal Revenue Service Speech at Baseball Hall of Fame to Tax Section of New York State Bar Association in Cooperstown, New York Saturday, July 15, 2006 Thanks to Kim Blanchard for thinking of me and inviting me to speak here this evening. And thanks for the great reports you and your colleagues prepare for us. My wife Pat came with me to Cooperstown for the weekend. She just joined me in Washington, D.C. after two years of my commuting back and forth to our home to Cleveland. When I told her that we were going to celebrate her arrival in Washington by going to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and not only that, but we were going there to attend a meeting of tax lawyers, her response was “After all of these years” – and we have been married for 34 years – “you still really know how to win a girl’s heart.” When I was a young boy playing pick-up baseball on the sandlots back in Cleveland, I would often daydream – as I was standing out there in right field – about being enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame here in Cooperstown. And I would also fantasize about what I would say during my acceptance speech on that momentous – albeit hypothetical – occasion. Well since I am now 58 years old and still can’t hit a curve ball, I guess my talk to you tonight is about as close as I will ever get to fulfilling that particular dream. I was walking around the museum earlier this afternoon and I came across an exhibit that I suspect is little noticed by the average baseball fan who visits here.

  • “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of the Hardball Times December 21, 2004
    “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of The Hardball Times December 21, 2004 At its inception, the most successful expansion franchise in pre-free agency baseball history didn’t impress many observers. The Kansas City Royals devoted most of their expansion draft picks to unproven young players, in distinct contrast to the approach taken by their companion A.L. expansion team, the Seattle Pilots. Take a look at the first ten choices of each club, noting each player’s age and major league experience as of the October 15, 1968 draft: Royals: Player Age ML Seasons ML Experience 1. Roger Nelson 24 2 78 innings 2. Joe Foy 25 3 1,515 at-bats 3. Jim Rooker 26 1 5 innings 4. Joe Keough 22 1 98 at-bats 5. Steve Jones 27 2 36 innings 6. Jon Warden 22 1 37 innings 7.

  • Dimaggio's Other Streak
    General Admission DiMaggio’s Other Streak by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research In 1933, Joe DiMaggio was an 18-year old rookie playing for his hometown San Francisco Seals in the Class AA Pacific Coast League (PCL). An unknown who had been playing semi-pro ball two years earlier as a newsboy, his name was often misspelled in the press of the day as De Maggio, even after he broke the PCL record for hitting safely in consecutive games set in 1915 by Jack Ness. It wasn’t until Seals owner and PCL vice-president Charley Graham was making arrangements to have DiMaggio’s name engraved on a gold watch presented to him for breaking the record that the question arose. After all, Joe’s older brother Vince, a former Seal who was then playing with the Hollywood Stars, spelled his name DiMaggio. Joe had actually played 3 games at shortstop with the Seals at the end of the 1932 season and had only been invited to spring training in 1933 after his brother Vince argued his case to manager Lefty O’Doul. It worked out well for Joe, who the team signed, but not so well for Vince, who the team released. Luckily for DiMaggio and for the fans in San Francisco, O’Doul moved him from shortstop to right field. DiMaggio was very erratic, always overthrowing the first baseman. His throwing arm was better suited to an outfielder and he was a pretty fair hitter. No one had any idea of what was to come.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- 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 eld, 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. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.
