  • 1 Testimony of Willie M. Aikens Before the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security of the House Judiciary Commi
    Testimony of Willie M. Aikens Before the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security Of the House Judiciary Committee “Unfairness in Federal Cocaine Sentencing: Is it Time to Crack the 100 to 1 Disparity?” Thursday, May 21, 2009 Thank you Chairman Scott and members of the Subcommittee for inviting me to testify before you today. My name is Willie M. Aikens and I am here to tell my story about the direct effects of crack cocaine on my life. I will also testify about how the mandatory minimums and especially the sharp disparity between the penalties for crack and powder cocaine have touched me, my family, and friends I left behind in the Federal Prison System. I grew up in Seneca, South Carolina without ever seeing or knowing who my biological father was. My stepfather was very abusive and was an alcoholic, and so was my first cousin who lived in the same house as me. They both died in 1968 from alcohol related deaths, so at an early age I saw the devastating effects of drugs and alcohol. Later on in life I didn't believe the same thing could happen to me, though it did. I didn't let any of this stop me from pursuing my goal of being an athlete. I truly believe playing sports kept me out of trouble. I went on to finish high school and I earned a football scholarship to South Carolina State College. Since baseball was my favorite sport, I asked the coaches if I could play baseball and they all agreed.

  • 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.
