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.

  • Ejection Patterns
    Ejections Through the Years and the Impact of Expanded Replay Ejections are a fascinating part of baseball and some have led to memorable confrontations, several of which are readily accessible in various electronic archives. Perhaps surprisingly, reliable information on ejections has been available only sporadically and there are many conflicting numbers in both print and on-line for even the most basic data such as the number of times a given player, manager or umpire was involved. The first comprehensive compilation of ejection data was carried out over many years by the late Doug Pappas, a tireless researcher in many areas of baseball, including economic analyses of the game. He not only amassed the details of over 11,000 ejections, he also lobbied intensely to have ejection information become a standard part of the daily box scores. He was successful in that effort and we have him to thank for something we now take for granted. After Doug’s passing, his ejection files made their way to Retrosheet where they were maintained and updated by the late David Vincent who expanded the database to over 15,000 events. In 2015, David used the expanded data in the Retrosheet files as the basis for an article which provided some fine background on the history of ejections along with many interesting anecdotes about especially unusual occurrences ((https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/VincentD/EjectionsHistory.pdf). Among other things, David noted that ejections only began in 1889 after a rule change giving umpires the authority to remove players, managers, and coaches as necessary. Prior to that time, offensive actions could only be punished by monetary fines.

    MLB IN THE COMMUNITY 2017 Office of the Commissioner MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ROBERT D. MANFRED, JR. Commissioner of Baseball Dear Friends and Colleagues: Baseball’s ability to bring people together is one of the virtues that has long made it our National Pastime. The game affords all of us with countless opportunities to create memories for fans and to impact the causes that are important to them. For Major League Baseball and its 30 Clubs, this unique stature represents a true privilege — one that we honor.

All of our Clubs are firmly committed to making a difference in their communities. Together, our Clubs and players shine a light on worthy causes, individuals and organizations throughout the season. Centrally, MLB has formed core partnerships with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Stand Up To Cancer and the Jackie Robinson Foundation. Imparting their values is vital to us.

  • Join the Team Fighting Cancer One Home Run at a Time! the Quest to Cure Cancer
    JUNE 11-21, 2009 VOLUME NO. 14 “ F RO M COA S T TO COA S T ” 14TH SEASON 1996-2009 Join the team FIGHTING CANCER one home run at a time! THE QUEST TO CURE CANCER Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan famously said, “A beautiful thing about baseball is that every once in a while, you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.” That’s the situation cancer researchers face every day—they want to prove that cancer can be beaten. Thanks in part to your support, they’re making great progress in doing just that. Since 1993, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has accelerated development of more effective treatments, expanded our understanding of how cells become cancerous, produced new insights into areas like nutrition, and raised awareness of preventive activities. Most importantly, fewer men are PCF dying—as much as 50% below projections made in the 1990s. Mike Milken - Founder & Chairman By raising nearly $400 million directly, and guiding another $10 billion in funding from others—industry, government, philanthropists, people like you—the PCF has “Kept Dad in the Game.” More than 80 percent of prostate-cancer research leaders have been supported by the PCF, and a majority of drugs currently in the pipeline have our imprint on them. But as more men live longer, more will be diagnosed—this year alone, 192,000 more. So we must continue to support these remarkable researchers. This is the PCF Home Run Challenge’s 14th season—a partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), its players, managers Jonathan Simons - President and CEOPCF and teams, as well as prominent sponsors, who raise awareness about prostate cancer worldwide and generate millions of dollars for crucial research.

  • Department of Economics Working Paper Series
    Department of Economics Working Paper Series Minority Status and Managerial Survival in Major League Base- ball Brian Volz University of Connecticut Working Paper 2008-36 September 2008 341 Mansfield Road, Unit 1063 Storrs, CT 06269–1063 Phone: (860) 486–3022 Fax: (860) 486–4463 http://www.econ.uconn.edu/ This working paper is indexed on RePEc, http://repec.org/ Abstract The effect of minority status on managerial survival in Major League Baseball is analyzed using survival time analysis and data envelopment analysis. Efficiency scores based on team performance and player salary data from 1985 to 2006 are computed and included as covariates in a survival time analysis. It is shown that when controlling for performance and personal characteristics minorities are on average 9.6 percentage points more likely to return the following season. Addi- tionally, it is shown that winning percentage has no impact on managerial survival when efficiency is controlled for. Journal of Economic Literature Classification: J71, L83, C41 Keywords: Baseball, Management, Race, Survival, DEA Introduction Due to the obsessively accurate and detailed record keeping of Major League Baseball and the popularity of the sport, there exists a large amount of literature on almost all aspects of the sport, including discrimination and managerial retention. However, previous research has failed to link the two subjects by including race as a factor when examining managerial retention in professional sports. The analysis presented in this paper looks to fill this gap in the literature by providing a thorough analysis of the effects of minority status on managerial survival in Major League Baseball.

  • The Success of the Overwatch League: Is It Sustainable?
    The Success of the Overwatch League: Is it Sustainable? An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Tyler Nelson Thesis Advisor Dr. Khirey Walker Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2020 Expected Date of Graduation May 2020 Abstract Esports are a growing industry across the world. This thesis reviews the history/success of several esport leagues and identifies the factors that make these leagues successful. As a result of preliminary research, the primary goal of this study will be to develop a model that could predict the success of esport leagues. These factors include mainstream appeal of esports, league structure examples, and general broadcasting reach. The model is then used to examine the Overwatch League, an esport league that began competition in 2018, and concludes that the Overwatch League is structured for sustained success in the esport market. Acknowledgements I want to thank my parents and Audrey for supporting me while I worked full-time and completed my schooling. Without their encouragement, it would have been difficult to complete this thesis. I would like to thank Sarah and Norm, who took a chance on me and allowed me to work in the sport industry while I completed my degree. Their understanding with my schedule and time commitments is greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank Dr. Walker, whose assistance and guidance has been invaluable throughout this process. 1 Process Analysis Statement The route to the completion of my thesis has been long and winding, and extremely difficult for me. In the summer between my junior and senior years, I completed an internship with my current employer.
