  • Phillies' Manuel Joins Elit
    | Sign In | Register powered by: 7:10 PM ET CSN/FxFl Prev Philadelphia (58-48, 26-31 Road) Hea HAS BEEN CURED BY DOC'S PITCHING Florida (53-53, 28-27 Home) Eagles Phillies Flyers Sixers College Union Rally Extra Fantasy Smack Columns NEWS VIDEO PHOTOS SCORES SCHEDULE TICKETS ODDS FORUM STANDINGS STATS ROSTER SH Phillies' Manuel joins elite 500-win club LATEST PHILLIES By Rich Westcott POSTED: August 4, 2010 For The Inquirer EMAIL PRINT SIZE 12 COMMENTS Recommend The Little General, The Father of Baseball, and the Wizard of Oz have a new partner. Charlie Manuel has become part of their group. When the Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies at the end of July, Manuel became the fourth manager in Phillies history to lead the club to 500 wins. In so doing, Manuel joined Gene Mauch (646 wins), Harry Wright (636), and Danny Ozark (594) as Phillies skippers who have won 500 or more games. Manuel achieved his lofty status faster than the other three. He did it midway through his sixth season, just 16 days before Ozark won his 500th. Mauch, the Phillies' skipper from 1960-68, reached the milestone in his seventh season, while Wright (1884-93), managing in seasons when the schedules were considerably shorter, took nine years to get there. Now 66 and the oldest manager in team history, Manuel has led the Phillies to levels none of the other three ever did. His Phillies have gone to the World Series twice, and he is the only manager whose teams have posted 85 or more wins five straight years.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

    The Miami Hurricane VOLUME XXVIII IMvKKsn v OK MIAMI, CORAL GAELICS, FLA., APRIL 23, 1954 No. 21 Levey Is New Prexy SAA Wins Top 4 SBG Posts As 2864 Cast Record Vote JOHN SOFTNESS and NED JOHNSON Hurrii-an* I dttor I liirri<-*ii< M«iu_i!--_g Kditor Burt Levey spearheaded the underdog Student Action Asso­ ciation to a sweep of the top four Student Body Government offices by 392 votes over Liberty Forum's standard bearer John Stone. The total of 2864, termed unofficial because of a possible descrep- ancy of a handful of votes, indicated a record turnout. Former record was 2667 in 1949. Results of the gubernatorial and senatorial voting were mil avail­ able as The Hurricane went to press last night. Levey, a law school junior and twice president of Tau Epsilon Phi, - pulled 1628 votes compared to 1236 for Stone. The president-elect, contacted im­ mediately after the results were an­ nounced, said that he feels he no longer just represents his party. "I will strive to serve the entire University," he said, "and not any individual group. "Heading the Student Body Gov­ ernment is a taxing, difficult task, and one which cannot be accom­ plished only with the aid of the SAA. I will need the support of the en­ tire student body, and particularly the Liberty Forum party. I am con­ fident that they will get behind this administration for the greatest good of the University." Stone, when called at his home, told a reporter that he will back Levey and the entire administration.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
