  • A Baseball Scout and His Hotel Room: a Love Story Spanning Four Decades
    A baseball scout and his hotel room: A love story spanning four decades Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY Sports Published 12:08 p.m. ET March 19, 2018 | Updated 7:58 p.m. ET March 19, 2018 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - This eclectic 194-room hotel in Old Town has purple carpet, pink doors, and yellow and orange walls. It has changed names nine times. It has even changed addresses without moving. (Photo: Joe Camporeale, USA Yet, one man has managed to find his way back to this same joint every spring for the past 38 years. TODAY Sports) The Saguaro Scottsdale Hotel: the spring-training home for 73-year-old Philadelphia Phillies scout Gordon Lakey. The esteemed scout not only has stayed at this same hotel since stumbling upon it parking his car one morning in the spring of 1980, but if you can believe it, has stayed in the same exact room every single year. “I remember a couple of years ago the mayor of Scottsdale sees me, runs after me in the lobby,’’ Lakey says, “and tells me, 'I just want to meet somebody who stayed at this hotel longer than I’ve lived.’’ Did you tell him you stayed in the same room, too? “No,’’ Lakey says, “I didn’t want him to think I’m nuts.’’ MORE MLB Victor Robles: A key to the Nationals' future (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2018/03/19/nationals-victor-robles-prospects-bryce- harper/437599002/) Ronald Acuna, Braves ready to pop (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2018/03/17/ronald-acuna-braves/435196002/) Yankees leave no doubt with opening-day starting assignment (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/yankees/2018/03/17/ny-yankees- luis-severino-opening-day-starter/434882002/) Lakey opens his door one recent morning to unveil perhaps the most bizarre streak of hotel accommodations in the history of an industry where familiarity and brand loyalty are comfort food for employees who spend more days on the road than at home.

    The Sabermetric Revolution Benjamin Baumer, Andrew Zimbalist Published by University of Pennsylvania Press Benjamin Baumer. and Andrew Zimbalist. The Sabermetric Revolution: Assessing the Growth of Analytics in Baseball. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2013. Project MUSE. Web. 21 Aug. 2015.http://muse.jhu.edu/. For additional information about this book http://muse.jhu.edu/books/9780812209129 Access provided by University of Michigan @ Ann Arbor (4 Dec 2015 21:10 GMT) PREFACE ichael Lewis wrote Moneyball because he fell in love with a story. Te Mstory is about how intelligent innovation (the creative use of statistical analysis) in the face of market inefciency (the failure of all other teams to use available information productively) can overcome the unfairness of baseball economics (rich teams can buy all the best players) to enable a poor team to slay the giants. Lewis is an engaging storyteller and, along the way, introduces us to intriguing characters who carry forward the rags-to-riches plot. By the end, the story of the Oakland A’s and their general manager, Billy Beane, is so well told that we believe its portrayal of baseball history, economics, and competitive success. Te result is a new Horatio Alger tale that reinforces a beloved American myth and, all the better, applies to our national pastime. Te appeal of Lewis’s Moneyball was sufciently strong that Hollywood wanted a piece of the action. With a compelling script, smart direction, and the handsome Brad Pitt as Beane, Moneyball became part of mass culture and its perceived validity—and its legend—only grew. Tis book will attempt to set the record straight on Moneyball and the role of “analytics” in baseball.

    Outside the Lines Vol. I, No. 1 SABR Business of Baseball Committee Newsletter Spring 1995 Copyright © 1995, Society for American Baseball Research Editor: Doug Pappas, 100 E. Hartsdale Ave., #6EE, Hartsdale, NY 10530-3244, 914-472-7954. E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]. Welcome ...to the first newsletter from one of SABR’s newest research committees, the Business of Baseball Committee. The Committee was founded last fall to bring SABR’s unique research expertise to the study of baseball “outside the lines”: the economic, labor, legal, and organizational issues which have affected the development of Organized Baseball for almost 150 years. As many of you may have noticed, these economic, labor, legal, and organizational issues dominated the baseball news from August through April, and still hang over the 1995 season like a storm cloud at the holiday picnic. The Business of Baseball Committee takes no position on any issue relating to the strike -- except to stress the importance of assembling accurate information from which each member may draw his or her own conclusions. If you want mine, come to my presentation at the Pittsburgh convention, where the Business of Baseball Committee will hold its first meeting at 8:30 AM on Friday, June 16th. Hope to see you there! Total Baseball - TOO “Official”? If you want my conclusions, don’t read page 606 of the new fourth edition of Total Baseball. Although my name is listed as reviser of the “Baseball and the Law” essay, several false and misleading statements which I did not write or authorize were added to the article before publication.

  • Ballparks As America: the Fan Experience at Major League Baseball Parks in the Twentieth Century
    BALLPARKS AS AMERICA: THE FAN EXPERIENCE AT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PARKS IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Seth S. Tannenbaum May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Bryant Simon, Advisory Chair, Department of History Petra Goedde, Department of History Rebecca Alpert, Department of Religion Steven A. Riess, External Member, Department of History, Northeastern Illinois University © Copyright 2019 by Seth S. Tannenbaum All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a history of the change in form and location of ballparks that explains why that change happened, when it did, and what this tells us about broader society, about hopes and fears, and about tastes and prejudices. It uses case studies of five important and trend-setting ballparks to understand what it meant to go to a major league game in the twentieth century. I examine the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium in the first half of the twentieth century, what I call the classic ballpark era, Dodger Stadium and the Astrodome from the 1950s through the 1980s, what I call the multi-use ballpark era, and Camden Yards in the retro-chic ballpark era—the 1990s and beyond. I treat baseball as a reflection of larger American culture that sometimes also shaped that culture. I argue that baseball games were a purportedly inclusive space that was actually exclusive and divided, but that the exclusion and division was masked by rhetoric about the game and the relative lack of explicit policies barring anyone.

POLICE SFPD TERRORIZE and VIOLATE RIGHTS OF YOUTHS ON POLK ILLEGAL SEARCH & SEIZURES, GENERAL HARASSMENT INCLUDING NAME CALLING ALL A PART OF THE NORTHERN STATION AND S-SQUAD HARASSMENT OF YOUTHS ON POLK. For four weeks now, an intensive campaign of harassment of youths and in some cases not so young persons, has been underway by the San Francisco Police Department's Northern Station. Constitutional rights obviously have been left back at the Station House as the “Polk Pigs" slam into youths walking out of homes, apartments along Polk Street, in what they call an all out effort to stamp out prostitution, while just a few blocks away people are being stabbed and beaten by drugged-punks on Turk Street and Eddy Street. The Northern Station Police officers have put the blame on the Polk Street Merchants Association as the reason for their campaign to run the youth out of the Polk area. One SFPD officer told us that "All the guys on Polk are hustlers, we know that, just look at them, alone, white, walking slowly, they are prostitutes as anyone can see!" When the officer was questioned as to "sterotyp- thg" he denied that he was calling all white males on Polk Street, "prostitutes," yet his and ^ art- ions of his sister and brother officers certainly in­ dicate that they have indeed drawn what they feel is the "typical" male prostitue, which fits just a- bout any white male between the age of 16 and 26. Many youths have told tales of terror in which officers have allegedly threatened to "ram a billy club up our ass unless we stayed off Polk." The ’olice of course deny this.
