"According to Joe Shlabotnik, the manager of the Waxahachie Walnuts, you should never call a hit and run play in the bottom of the ninth inning." 2.) "Are you going to major in history or are you going to major in mathematics?" 3.) "Bubba Sue is from Alabama. All girls from Alabama have two word first names." 4.) "Gosh, officer, I know I made an illegal left turn, but please don't give me a ticket. I've had a hard day, and I was just trying to get over to my aged mother's hospital room, and spend a few minutes with her before I report to my second full-time minimum-wage job, which I have to have as the sole support of my thirty-seven children and the nineteen members of my extended family who depend on me for food and shelter." 5.) "Former major league pitcher Ross Grimsley, nicknamed "Scuzz," would not wash or change any part of his uniform as long as the team was winning, believing that washing or changing anything would jinx the team." 6.)

  • A's News Clips, Sunday, September 6, 2009 Pennington's Bat
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, September 6, 2009 Pennington's bat comes alive in A's 9-5 win over Mariners By Curtis Pashelka, OAKLAND TRIBUNE Cliff Pennington hasn't had many problems on defense since the A's recalled him from Triple-A Sacramento on July 31. And maybe the offensive side of his game just needed some time to catch up. Pennington's two-run home run in the third inning started a four-run rally as the A's went on to snap a two-game losing streak with a 9-5 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday at the Oakland Coliseum. Pennington finished the game 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI as the A's, with the help of three scoreless innings from their bullpen before the ninth, beat the Mariners for just the fourth time in 15 tries this season. "I've been scuffling a little bit at the plate the last 10 days, but I actually felt really good throughout that stretch," Pennington said. "It was just a matter of getting good pitches to hit and putting good swings on them." The A's made Pennington their everyday shortstop when they traded Orlando Cabrera to Minnesota at the end of July. Pennington responded by playing error-free defense for all of August before he was charged with an error in the ninth inning of Friday's game. Pennington also initially swung the bat well as he hit .320 in his first 14 games. Since then, though, Pennington has batted .161 (10-for-62) and came into Saturday on an 0-for-11 streak before his third homer of the year cut Seattle's lead to 3-2.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more "full-time" years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and field, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dominican Baseball An Exploration of the Modern Major League Baseball Academy System A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Art Latin American Studies by Andrew Mitchel 2020 © Copyright by Andrew Mitchel 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Dominican Baseball An Exploration of the Modern Major League Baseball Academy System by Andrew Mitchel Master in Latin American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professors Bonnie Taub, Co-Chair Professor Lauren Derby, Co-Chair This project is about Major League Baseball’s (MLB) developmental academies in the Dominican Republic (henceforth D.R.). Athletes from across Latin America, once signed, begin at this first level of Minor League Baseball to prove their sporting abilities, learn English and become consummate professionals. This thesis concerns both the history of the United States (U.S.)-D.R. relationship through the lens of baseball, and ethnographic fieldwork completed at one MLB academy in the D.R. in summer 2019. The research included watching Dominican Summer League games, touring the facility, interviewing staff and sitting in on a high school equivalency course. It analyzes various so-called ‘signs of universality’ as to how baseball is played worldwide: language/ritual, camaraderie, food, education and masculinity. The historical context surrounding the relationship between the nations shows how the baseball academy is one just type of neoliberal and neocolonial enclave in the Dominican Republic. Concluding thoughts cover where this system stands as of 2020 and what can be done to ensure ideal conditions for these teenage players. Keywords: anthropology of sport; U.S.-D.R.
