Baseball's Worst Team Fred Worth Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
Academic Forum 21 2003-04 Baseball's Worst Team Fred Worth Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper we will look at some of the worst teams in baseball history and try to decide which team was indeed the worst. We will look at some statistics that will compare the teams to the teams of their day to try to account for the differences in eras. Introduction Much discussion is heard regarding who the best player, hitter, pitcher, etc. in baseball history may have been. There is not typically a lot of discussion on who the worst in any of these categories may be. The 2003 season changed that a little bit due to the incredible futility displayed by the Detroit Tigers. In this paper, we will look at some of the worst teams in baseball history and see if, indeed, the Tigers qualify. Preliminary Criteria The first consideration needs to be what criteria we will use to make our determination of the worst team. Certainly the teams win-loss record and winning percentage should be considered. Since the word "worst" implies a comparison, we should also look a how far the teams finished out of first place and, to see how truly bad they were, how far they finished behind the next-to- last-place team. Candidates The following table lists the teams we will consider for the designation as the worst team in baseball history. There have been other teams that were very bad. Obviously the choice of candidates is fairly arbitrary, however, most would agree that these nine teams were rather bad. -

THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice. -

§TORY by Lloyd E
YJEIJE YJEID)JMIJEYN §TORY by Lloyd E. Klos Ted Meyn, a theatre organist whose work took him to several areas of the United States, was born in 1901 in Kansas City, Kansas. From his debut in show business in 1907 until his retirement in the sixties, his life was one adventure after another, but all so interesting that Ted agreed to work with the writer in preparing his biog raphy for publication in "THEATRE ORGAN." Ted Meyn's introduction to en tertainment began at the tender age of six, on the stage of one of his father's six nickelodians. It was not at a piano or organ, but as a participant in an amateur night, and in the most daring fashion. Tom Daley, a tight-wire acrobat and escape artist, attempted to dem onstrate his skill with a machete in splitting a potato atop a volunteer's head. Having seen the performer prac tice this feat on a block of wood, Ted leaped to the stage. The potato was placed on his head, the audience sat Ted Meyn at the console of his one-man-trio instrument with which he made appearances throughout the east in the late fifties and early sixties.

Daley got first prize, a Cracker Jack, and chewing gum, up little Eva was dying, he would have $5 gold piece, but Ted merely got a and down the aisles. -
