  • Catching up with History
    Catching up with Baseball History Ryan Howard’s Unique Journey to the Major Leagues By John Cappello [email protected] “Any hitter who is destined to become a great ballplayer will reach the majors at an early age. I know of no clear-cut exception to this rule in the history of baseball.” - Bill James, 1982 The words of Bill James have a way of turning into baseball doctrine. So when the czar of baseball stats offers his thoughts on the game, scores of fans stand and listen. In “The Bill James Baseball Abstract,” vintage 1982, James observed that any ballplayer destined to become a superstar will crack a major league starting lineup by his early twenties, at the very latest. The underlying lesson is that top-shelf talent in baseball just doesn’t just sit around gathering moss on the bench or in the minors before manifesting itself. Greatness is an aura that tends to glow so visibly at the younger ages that it’s nearly impossible for it to slip through the cracks. But a beautiful component of baseball is that the game thrives on deviation and surprise. Just when Lou Brock’s single-season stolen base record of 118 seemed far out of reach, along comes Rickey Henderson to trump Brock by ten percent. In 1992, Sports Illustrated listed the Roger Maris record of 61 home runs in a single season as one of the ten “truly inviolable” records in sports. Six years later, the record was smashed six times over a four-year span by three different players.

  • En 1979 Los Piratas De Pittsburgh Utilizaron 64 Combinaciones
    1979 En 1979 los Piratas de Pittsburgh utilizaron 64 combinaciones posibles de uniformes entre gorras negras y uniformes amarillos, o bién, gorras amarillas y trajes negros, y esta temporada no sólo se recuerda por eso, sino que también conformaron un gran equipo de beisbol que los llevó al campeonato del clásico de otoño. En el equipo también había diversas corpulencias, pues un fortachón Dave Parker (0.310,25HR, 94CP) contrastaba con Kent Tekulve (10-8, 2.75CLP), un delgado pitcher que otorgó grandes trabajos de relevo al club. Los Piratas fueron llamados “la familia”, y ganaron la división Este por dos juegos de ventaja sobre Montreal. Por otro lado, en la Liga Americana los Yankees no pudieron repetir su campeonato viéndose perjudicados por lesiones de su as del relevo Goose Gossage (5-3, 2.62CLP, 18SA), quien se enfrentó en dura riña con su compañero Cliff Johnson (0.266, 2HR, 6CP); además, su valioso catcher Thurman Munson (0.288, 3HR, 39CP) lamentablemente falleció en un accidente cuando tripulaba su avioneta en el mes de agosto. Los Orioles de Baltimore terminaron un reinado de tres años de los Yankees ganando 102 juegos. Mike Flanagan (23-9, 3.08CLP) se distinguió por Baltimore en la loma de los disparos, mientras que el veterano Ken Singleton (0.295, 35HR, 111CP) aportó grandes batazos a la ofensiva llevando al club a un primer lugar en el standing quedando Cerveceros a 8 juegos en segundo lugar y Medias Rojas en tercero a 11 y medio. Con este último equipo brillaron Fred Lynn (0.333, 39HR, 122CP, 116CA) y Jim Rice (0.325, 39HR, 130CP, 117CA) quienes quedaron empatados en segundo lugar en cuadrangulares con 39, pero su dolor de cabeza fue el pitcheo al abandonarlos Luis Tiant que trabajó para los Yankees (13-8, 3.91CLP).

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
