  • Troy Baseball Legend, Evers
    Baseball Across New York Troy Baseball Legend, Evers By Craig Muder At 5-foot-9 and 125 pounds, Johnny Evers might seem out of place with the 200-pound infielders on today’s big league baseball diamonds. But in the first years of the 20th Century, the acrobatic Evers excelled at the “Inside Baseball” style of play that domi- nated the time – featuring bunting, stolen bases and hit-and- runs – and led his teams to four National League pennants and three World Series titles. Born in Troy, on July 21, 1881, Evers – a name that rhymed with “beavers” though he came to also accept the pro- nunciation that rhymed with “feathers” – made his big league debut at the age of 21 in 1902 with the Chicago Cubs. Evers established himself as the Cubs’ starting second baseman in 1903 – teaming with shortstop Joe Tinker and first baseman Frank Chance to form one of the best infield combinations of the era. In 1906, the Cubs dominated the NL from start to finish, winning 116 games against only 36 losses. The 116 wins have been matched since only by the 2001 Seattle Mariners, and no team has matched the Cubs’ .763 winning percentage of 1906. Evers hit .255 that season, but drove in 51 runs and stole 49 bases. His spectacular infield defense – combined with that of Tinker, Chance and the other members of the Cubs – resulted in Chicago allowing just 381 runs for the entire season. The Cubs lost the 1906 World Series to the White Sox but Johnny Evers won the Fall Classic in 1907 and 1908.

  • 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.

  • Baseball Actor Visits the 1940 Commodores
    Baseball actor visits the 1940 Commodores By Bill Traughber April 15, 2009 Joe E. Brown with the 1940 Vanderbilt baseball team Over the years I have written about many great non-Vanderbilt athletes to appear on the University’s campus. Athletes as Red Grange, Gale Sayers, George Halas, Dick Butkus, Jim Thorpe, Tris Speaker and the baseball Hall of Fame trio Frank Chance, Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers have recorded visits. During a spring workout in 1940, Joe E. Brown, a comedic actor, dropped by to visit the Commodores baseball team. It might not seem a big deal, but Brown would make a small contribution to “America’s Pastime” by attending ball games as a devoted fan while making movies about baseball. Brown was best-known in the early part of the 20th century for his baseball film trilogy Fireman, Save My Child (1932), Elmer the Great (1933) and Alibi Ike (1935). It was widely known in Hollywood of Brown’s enthusiasm for the game of baseball. He was persistently seen in the company of baseball players. The high school in his birthplace (Holgate, Ohio) dedicated a corner stone to its stadium. In the movie Fireman, Save My Child, Brown is cast as “Smokey” Joe Grant a small town fireman with a girlfriend, Sally (Evalyn Knapp). Grant’s pitching proficiency has earned him a spot on the St. Louis Cardinals roster. His character has invented a fire extinguisher that he says, “lets loose chemicals that’ll smother the blaze like a wet blanket.” While trying to sell his invention, Grant forgets that he is pitching in the seventh game of the World Series.
