LA HISTORIA DEL JONRÓN CONFERENCIA DICTADA POR EL PROF. DR. CECILIO DÍAZ CARELA NOV. 2010, CURSA, UASD. STGO. R.D. PRIMERA PARTE . DEFINICION DEL JONRÓN Y DE ALGUNOS PARÁMETROS RELACIONADOS . LA HISTORIA DEL JONRÓN DESDE INICIOS DE LAS GRANDES LIGAS HASTA EL 2007. SEGUNDA PARTE. LA PARTICIPACION DE SAMUEL SOSA EN LA DÉCADA DEL JONRÓN . TERCERA PARTE. LA PARTICIPACION DOMINICANA EN EL BEISBÓL DE LAS LIGAS MAYORES. DEFINICIÓN DEL JONRÓN: . JONRÓN: Cuando el bateador puede avan- zar todas la bases hasta la goma. Esto se produce cuando la bola, generalmente bateada como elevado sale fuera del campo, en los límites válidos y establecidos como terreno bueno. Este vocablo es un anglicismo que se deriva del “Home Run”. LA FRECUENCIA JONRONERA: . Número de turnos por jonrón conectado (AB/HR). Mientras menor sea el número de turnos necesarios para conectar un jonrón mayor será la frecuencia de jonrones. EL GRAND SLAM: . Jonrón con las bases llenas. EL JONRÓN DE PIERNAS: . Batazo de imparable que le permite al bateador recorrer todas las bases sin detenerse y alcanzar la goma, sin ser puesto fuera. LOS JONRONES COLECTIVOS: . La sumatoria de los jonrones de todos los bateadores de un equipo durante una temporada. EL JONRONERO. EL bateador de jonrones. En las diferentes épocas por la que ha pasado el béisbol de las Grandes Ligas, el jonronero ha ido variando en el número de jonrones conec- tados por temporada. Hoy en día para ser considerado un jonronero se debe producir por los menos 30 HR. Aunque es posible que un bateador de 20 HR por temporada pueda alcanzar la connotación siempre que sea consistente y se ubique en el marco de una buena posición defensiva.

Jonrones de Roger Maris contra zurdos y derechos . Empató el récord de Babe Ruth en el juego número 159. Ruth lo hizo en 151 partidos de béisbol. Con el Jonrón 61 Roger Maris implantó su nueva marca en el juego número 163 de la temporada. El lanzador Tracy Stallard pasa a la historia como el que concedió el jonrón 61 para romper el récord de Ruth. Sosa y McGwire durante la competencia de jonrones de 1998 tras la marca de Roger Maris. Fechas, jonrones y lanzadores a los que Sosa y McGwire la pegaron de jonrón en la temporada de 1998. Si analizamos el cuadro anterior vemos que Samuel Sosa conectó 20 jonrones en el mes de junio estableciendo un nuevo récord para las Grandes Ligas. Ese jonrón número 20 lo conectó contra Alan Embree, lanzador zurdo de los Diamondbacks de Arizona, el 30 de junio de 1998 y fue el cuadrangular número 33 de la temporada. En esa temporada se puede notar que tanto Sosa como McGwire tuvieron juegos de jonrones múltiples, según pudimos observar en el citado Cuadro (13), en el cual aparece nombre de los lanzadores a los que ambos le conectaron más de un jonrón, así como aquellos lanzadores a los que ambos jonroneros le sacaron la bola. El Cuadro de más arriba nos ilustra acerca de la distancia de los 66 jonrones conectados por Samuel Sosa y los 70 de Mark McGwire en 1998. También se incluyen los 73 jonrones conectados por Barry Bonds en la temporada del año 2001. Los jonrones se agruparon en clases de distancias en cuanto a la longitud recorrida en pies, con un intervalo de 60 pies para cada clase, de este modo se lograron tres clases de distancias: 1) 340-400 pies 2) 401- 461 3) 462-522. En cada intervalo se representa la frecuencia o número de jonrones conectados. El intervalo de clases fue establecido “ad libitum y solamente un jonrón de 545 pies conectado por McGwire quedó fuera de los tres grupos establecidos.

Rafael Palmeiro 12.0 47 1998 Los Ganadores de Títulos de Jonrones en las Ligas Mayores desde 1915-2007. Resumen del Cuadro Como se puede apreciar en el cuadro anterior, el bateador que más títulos de jonrones obtuvo fue Babe Ruth, de los Yankees de Nueva York con 12, le siguió Mike Schmidt, de los Filis de Filadelfia, con ocho títulos. El tercero más ganador fue Ralph Kiner de los Piratas de Pittsburgh, con siete títulos. Los únicos dos jugadores que ganaron títulos de jonrones en ambas ligas fueron: Fred McGriff y Mark McGwire. McGriff ganó su primer título en la Liga Americana en 1986, cuando jugaba para los Azulejos de Toronto y su segundo título lo obtuvo en 1992, con los Padres de San Diego, en la Liga Nacional. McGwire ganó dos títulos en la Americana (1987 y 1996) con los Atléticos de Oakland y luego en San Luis ganó dos títulos seguidos (1998-99). Por eso es el único jugador ha ganado dos títulos de jonrones en ambas ligas. Los 23 jonroneros de más de 500 HRs, hasta el año 2007, que han ganado títulos son: . 1- Babe Ruth (12), 2-Mike Schmidt (8), . 3-Mel Ott (6), 4-Harmon Killebrew (5), . 5-Alex Rodríguez (5), 6-Jimmie Foxx (4), . 7-Ted Williams (4), 8-Hank Aaron (4), . 9-Mickey Mantle (4), 10-Riggie Jackson (4), . 11-Mark McGwire (4), 12-Ken Griffey Jr. (4), 13-Willie Mays (3), 14-Willie McCovey (3), . 15-Eddie Mathews (2), 16-Ernie Banks (2), . 17-Barry Bonds (2), 18-Samuel Sosa (2), . 19-Frank Robinson (1) 20-Jim Thome (1) . 21. Eddie Murray (1). 22-Frank Thomas y 23-Rafael Palmeiro no ganaron títulos de jonrones. Título de Jonrones por Liga y posición defensiva. La Elite del Jonrón . La Elite del Jonrón en el Béisbol de las Grandes Ligas. La cifra de 500 jonrones o más, corresponde a una élite de peloteros muy especiales, ya que hasta el año 2007 sólo veintitrés bateadores habían conectado 500 o más cuadrangulares, de un total de 16,585 jugadores que han militado en el béisbol de las Grandes Ligas, desde su fundación hasta el año 2006. En tal sentido podemos hacer una clasificación por grupo de jugadores desde 0 hasta 700 o más HR y veremos que se trata de una pirámide, con una base muy amplia que recoge en su vértice apenas a tres bateadores.

Early Base Ball in Mobile The first record of baseball games being played in Mobile was an account in the Mobile Daily News, Feb. 1st 1868 – The game was for the championship of the state between the: -- Dra [illegible] and the Mobile ball club resulting in a score of 63 to 50 in favor of the Dra[illegible]. It took 2 hours and fourty minutes time to play the game, which was said to be very exciting to five hundred who witnessed the game, not withstanding the very cold weather on that February afternoon. There is no mention of the number of innings that were played,(if any) before the contest was ended. From the report of the game, it is evident that each player of the nine on each team were individually credited by the scores that they made and charged with the number of times that they were Tagged out. R. Ellison was the umpire and R. Goubil and W.

    Steroids, Home Runs and the Law of Genius

    Steroids, Home Runs and the Law of Genius Arthur De Vany Professor Emeritus Department of Economics Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Sciences University of California, Irvine www.arthurdevany.com [email protected] ABSTRACT The greatest home run hitters are as rare as great scientists, artists, or composers. The greatest accomplishments in these fields all follow the same universal law of genius, as I show in this paper. There is no evidence that steroid use has altered home run hitting and those who argue otherwise are profoundly ignorant of the statistics of home runs, the physics of baseball, and of the physiological effects of steroids. There is no standard for great accomplishments, in home runs, in the sciences, and in the arts. Genius has its own way and the great achievements of McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds (they did it in that order) are of a piece with genius in other fields — they are the Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart of home runs. The law of home runs established here generalizes the laws of extreme accomplish- ment developed by Pareto, Lotka, Price and Charles Murray. Economics seems to have little place for genius, but the growing importance of intellectual property calls for a greater understanding of extreme accomplishment. The stable Paretian model devel- oped here will be of use to economists studying extreme accomplishment in other areas and has led to a new understanding of the motion picture industry (De Vany, 2004). 1.

    The Cincinnati Reds: A History, an Era of Greatness, and Recollections of a Fan Dr. Anthony o. Edmonds Advisor Dirk D. Haire LD. 499 May 4, 1990 ;,,- - ) cincinnati. To most baseball fans this city represents the beginning of spring and the start of a new season. For being the nation's first professional baseball team and a charter member of the National League, the Cincinnati Reds are given the honor of hosting the opening game of each new National League season. since the original Red Stockings took the nation by storm, winning sixty-eight games against no defeats in 1869, cincinnati's baseball fortunes have vacillated between the best of times and the worst of times. Growing up in the middle Ohio Valley region, I, like many other children of the area, became a cincinnati Reds fan. This interest, for me, has grown into a passion. Over the years I have learned many things about the Reds and their history from my parents, my grandparents, friends, books, broadcasts, and other sources. In this thesis I will construct a brief history of the Reds and their importance to the city of Cincinnati. Then I will discuss the rise of the Big Red Machine and the powerful Reds teams of the 1970's, followed by a description of the dismantling of the Machine in the 1980's. The final section of this paper will reflect my own experiences of growing up in Reds' country. The origins of the present day Reds can be traced to July 23, 1866. On this date at the law office of Tilden, Sherman, and Moulton, the Cincinnati Baseball Club was established by local attorneys Alfred T.

  • Challenging Nostalgia and Performance Metrics in Baseball

    Challenging Nostalgia and Performance Metrics in Baseball

    Challenging nostalgia and performance metrics in baseball Daniel J. Eck Department of Biostatistics, Yale University, New Haven, CT, 06510. [email protected] 1 Introduction It is easy to be blown away by the accomplishments of great old time baseball players when you look at their raw or advanced baseball statistics. These players produced mind-boggling numbers. For example, see Babe Ruth’s batting average and pitching numbers, Ty Cobb’s 1911 season, Walter Johnson’s 1913 season, Tris Speaker’s 1916 season, Rogers Hornsby’s 1925 season, and Lou Gehrig’s 1931 season. The statistical feats achieved by these players (and others) far surpass the statistics that recent and current players produce. At first glance it seems that players from the old eras were vastly superior to the players in more modern eras, but is this true? In this paper, we investigate whether baseball players from earlier eras of professional baseball are overrepresented among the game’s all-time greatest players according to popular opinion, performance metrics, and expert opinion. We define baseball players from earlier eras to be those that started their MLB careers in the 1950 season or before. This year is chosen because it coincides with the decennial US Census and is close to 1947, the year in which baseball became integrated. In this paper we do not compare baseball players via their statistical accomplishments. Such measures exhibit era biases that are confounded with actual performance. Consider the single season homerun record as an example. Before Babe Ruth, the single season homerun record was 27 by Ned Williamson in 1884.
