    Roy Sievers “A Hero may die, but his memory lives on” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By BILL HASS I had missed it in the sports section and on the internet. A friend of my mentioned it to me and sent me a link to the story. On April 3 – ironically, right at the start of the 2017 baseball season – Roy Sievers died at age 90. I felt a pang of deep sadness. After all, no matter how old you get, the little kid in you expects your heroes to live for- ever. As the years passed and I didn’t see any kind of obitu- ary on Sievers, I thought perhaps he might actually do that. I knew better, of course. Sometimes reality has a way of intruding on your impossible dreams, and maybe it’s just as well. I have never been much for having heroes. Oh, there are plenty of people I have admired and some of them have done heroic things. But a hero is someone who stays constant, someone you root for no matter what, and people in sports lend themselves to that. Roy Sievers was a genuine hero for me, and, really, the only athlete I ever put in that category. Let me explain why. In the early 1950s, when I first became aware of baseball, my family lived in the northern Virginia suburbs of Wash- ington, D.C. I rooted for the Washington Senators (known to their fans as the “Nats”), to whom the adjective “downtrod- den” was constantly applied, if not invented. Prior to the 1954 season, the Nats obtained Sievers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, formerly the St.

  • The Passing of Minnie Minoso and Remembrances by His Sox Teammates
    The Passing of Minnie Minoso and Remembrances by His Sox Teammates By Mark Liptak Posted Monday, March 2, 2015 From the time he arrived to make his White Sox debut on May 1, 1951 until his passing early Sunday morning March 1, 2015, Saturnino Orestes Armas (Arrieta) “Minnie” Minoso loved Chicago, the White Sox and baseball. Minoso, the first Latin player to appear for the White Sox, reportedly was 90 years old although many feel he was actually older when he passed away in his car. Minoso had gone out Saturday night for a friend's birthday party when he appar- ently fell ill and pulled over in the Lakeview neigh- borhood, according to police and family. He was found early Sunday morning unresponsive. Minoso’s story is one of overcoming hardship and prejudice first in Cuba where he was born and raised and then in his day-to-day dealings with life in the 1950’s in America. He changed people’s atti- tudes by always being courteous and showing a smile regardless of the circumstances. Minnie played 17 games with the Indians in 1949 Minoso was one of the original "Go-Go" boys. Photo credit Associated Press. and 1951 when he was acquired by the Sox in a three way deal also involving the Athletics. The deal was driven by Sox G.M. Frank “Trader” Lane upon the recommendation of manager Paul Richards. Richards had first seen Minoso play in San Diego in the Pacific Coast League and immediately pushed for his acquisition. When all was said and done, Phila- delphia sent Lou Brissie to Cleveland; Cleveland sent Sam Zoldak and Ray Murray to Philadelphia; the Athletics sent Paul Lehner to the White Sox, the White Sox sent Gus Zernial and Dave Philley to Philadelphia and the Indians sent Minoso to the South Side of Chicago.

  • Paradoxical Pop-Ups: Why Are They Difficult to Catch? Michael K
    Paradoxical pop-ups: Why are they difficult to catch? Michael K. McBeath Department of Psychology, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287 ͒ Alan M. Nathana Department of Physics, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801 A. Terry Bahill Department of Systems and Industrial Engineering, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 David G. Baldwin P. O. Box 190, Yachats, Oregon 97498 ͑Received 20 September 2007; accepted 9 May 2008͒ Professional baseball players occasionally find it difficult to gracefully approach seemingly routine pop-ups. We describe a set of towering pop-ups with trajectories that exhibit cusps and loops near the apex. For a normal fly ball the horizontal velocity continuously decreases due to drag caused by air resistance. For pop-ups the Magnus force is larger than the drag force. In these cases the horizontal velocity initially decreases like a normal fly ball, but after the apex, the Magnus force accelerates the horizontal motion. We refer to this class of pop-ups as paradoxical because they appear to misinform the typically robust optical control strategies used by fielders and lead to systematic vacillation in running paths, especially when a trajectory terminates near the fielder. Former major league infielders confirm that our model agrees with their experiences. © 2008 American Association of Physics Teachers. ͓DOI: 10.1119/1.2937899͔ I. INTRODUCTION The frequency of pop-ups in the major leagues—an aver- age of nearly five pop-ups per game2—is sufficiently large Baseball has a rich tradition of misjudged pop-ups. For that teams provide considerable pop-up practice for infielders example, on April, 1961, Roy Sievers of the Chicago White and catchers.

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.

  • The 3-6-3 Double Play
    The 3-6-3 Double Play By Christopher Chestnut January 5, 2010 E-mail: [email protected] Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine which major league first baseman turned the most 3-6-3 double plays. Data Sources The information used in this study was obtained free of charge from and is copyrighted by Retrosheet. Interested parties may contact Retrosheet at www.retrosheet.org. Definitions 3-6-3 Double Play – the first baseman fields a ground ball and throws to the shortstop to retire the runner on first. The shortstop returns the throw to the first baseman to retire the batter/runner. Opportunity – all ground balls (including bunts, excluding base hits) fielded by the first baseman with a runner on first (additional runners may be on second and/or third) and less than two outs. Attempt – all opportunities where the first play by the first baseman is a throw to the shortstop. Methodology I used play-by-play data from Retrosheet to support my analysis.
