  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

  • BA MSS 14 Long Papers
    Collection Number BA MSS 14 BL-2666.2001 Titles Frederick E. Long Papers Inclusive Dates 1871-1905 Abstract The collection is comprised of records and correspondence relating to the operation of the baseball clubs, with the bulk of the material consisting of financial and administrative records. Other records document player contracts, player negotiations and hiring decisions, and stockholder relations. The records of the Players’ League team focus on the issues involved in setting up a team including hiring players, constructing a stadium, and negotiating concessions contracts. A small number of news clippings describing Boston baseball games are also part of the collection. Provenance This collection was donated to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 1983. Collection arranged and described by Anne McFarland in October 2001, with additional processing by Jonathan Nelson in January 2002. Access By appointment during regular business hours, email [email protected]. Available on microfilm. Separations Game passes and ticket books were transferred to the Museum Archives of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in October 2001. Grants: CL-10021-01 (IMLS) Historical Background Frederick E. Long was the treasurer of the Boston Base Ball Club (ca. 1871-1888). It appears that Long’s tenure with the Boston National League Club ended sometime in 1888, perhaps after he, Mr. Charles H. Porter and Mr. J.B. Hart petitioned the Board of Directors for season passes for stockholders. Long was awarded a lifetime pass to all Boston Base Ball Club games by J.B. Billings, the new treasurer, in 1888. By 1889, Long was the treasurer for the Boston Players’ National League Base Ball Club.
