  • Baseball's Worst Team Fred Worth Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
    Academic Forum 21 2003-04 Baseball's Worst Team Fred Worth Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper we will look at some of the worst teams in baseball history and try to decide which team was indeed the worst. We will look at some statistics that will compare the teams to the teams of their day to try to account for the differences in eras. Introduction Much discussion is heard regarding who the best player, hitter, pitcher, etc. in baseball history may have been. There is not typically a lot of discussion on who the worst in any of these categories may be. The 2003 season changed that a little bit due to the incredible futility displayed by the Detroit Tigers. In this paper, we will look at some of the worst teams in baseball history and see if, indeed, the Tigers qualify. Preliminary Criteria The first consideration needs to be what criteria we will use to make our determination of the worst team. Certainly the teams win-loss record and winning percentage should be considered. Since the word "worst" implies a comparison, we should also look a how far the teams finished out of first place and, to see how truly bad they were, how far they finished behind the next-to- last-place team. Candidates The following table lists the teams we will consider for the designation as the worst team in baseball history. There have been other teams that were very bad. Obviously the choice of candidates is fairly arbitrary, however, most would agree that these nine teams were rather bad.

ROY STOCKTON PRING TRAINING serves many purposes for the great American S game and business of baseball. The primary objective, of course, is to get the players into the best possible physical condi- tion for the arduous, 154-game pennant races during which the championships of the two major leagues are decided. During this conditioning process young players and others who may have been obtained in trades are inspected and tested in practice sessions, squad games, and exhibition contests. During the off-season each major league club is permitted to carry a maximum of 40 players on its roster. There are modifica- tions to this rule. For instance, returning service men may be carried for a specific period without counting as members of the 40-man squad.

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.

This is our first attempt at a Brooks Robinson – George Kell SABR chapter newsletter. Thanks to Fred Worth for setting this up. The next issue will come out sometime this summer before our August 19 meeting in Memphis. If anyone wishes to contribute anything to it, please feel free to do so. I’d like to take this opportunity to encourage you to join us in Hot Springs from March 23-26 for Boiling Out III. Two years ago at this meeting, the idea was hatched for the Robinson- Kell chapter. It is a fabulous opportunity to learn about Deadball baseball and the history of spring training in Arkansas from some of SABR’s most knowledgeable researchers. My favorite part of the 2004 meeting was simply meeting and talking baseball with people of various interests and ages from different parts of the country. So even if you can’t make the entire weekend, consider driving down on Saturday, March 25. Just two weeks until pitchers and catchers report! Come on, spring! - - Madison McEntire Upcoming Events March 23-26, 2006 Boiling Out 2006 at the Arlington Hotel Hot Springs, AR The Deadball Era Committee and the Robinson - Kell Chapter present Boiling Out 2006, a celebration of Deadball-Era-style spring training.
