Not liking his own name he took the Latin name of his profession and called himself Carnarius—a handler of meat. Three centuries later a de- scendant of his began life under the handicap of Maximilian Carnarius. He was a good student but a noted athlete. He thought he wanted to be a min- ister, but decided rather to be a ball player. The game was good to him. For one thing, it shortened his name to plain Max Carey; for another, it enabled him to bat three hundred and lead his league as a base stealer and run getter.

    1940: the Triumph of the T

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996) 1940: THE TRIUMPH OF THE T By Bob Carroll The United States ended World War II with the biggest explosions ever seen on the planet up to then -- Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For pro football, the decade began with the biggest explosion ever on an NFL field -- the Chicago Bears' 73-0 blasting of the Washington Redskins. In the great scheme of things, happenings on a hundred-yard field may be of little importance compared to the events of a World War, but to a football fanatic the year 1940 is of crucial importance to the development of their game. The Bears' one-sided win led to the eventual triumph of the T-formation in all its guises as the premier attacking system. Once the lethal qualities of the T had been so thoroughly demonstrated by Chicago, other teams began redesigning their offenses. The switch was not accomplished overnight -- the Pittsburgh Steelers held onto their single-wing attack until 1952 and a few college teams still resisted the T into the 1960s. But by the end of the war in 1945, the T had clearly become the dominant method of moving a football. The T-formation lent itself to passing far better than the old wing attacks. The quarterback who began every play was the key man. By turning his back to the line of scrimmage as soon as he got the snap, the quarterback hid what he was going to do with the football from the defense. He might hand-off or pitch- out, and that froze the defenses long enough for him to spot a receiver and throw to him.

This is one of a series of reviews of sabermetric articles published in academic journals. It is part of a project of mine to collect and catalog sabermetric research, and I would appreciate learning of and receiving copies of any studies of which I am unaware.
