  • 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

  • Boys of the Blue Ridge
    Swinging for the Fences, and the Kid from Lonaconing 1920 Season - Class D, Blue Ridge League by Mark C. Zeigler CHAPTER 1 POST-WAR BASEBALL The towns surrounding the northern Blue Ridge mountains has had a taste of professional baseball for several years, before the Great World War (known today as World War I) abruptly curtailed the 1918 season just three weeks into the season, and the effects of the deadly Spanish Influenza, and lack of financial support wiped out professional baseball in the region in 1919. Baseball had been strong focal points for the participating communities that organized teams in the Class D, Blue Ridge League. This was a time when the trolley was the main source of transportation, and the vehicle of choice was a Maxwell. Radio was just in its infant stages, and television was not even heard of for almost another twenty years. By 1920, the 20th and 21st amendments allowed women the right to vote, while Prohibition was in full force throughout the country. The nation’s attitudes were changing, but one constant was baseball. People were reenergized after the war effort had ended, and were looking for new things to do in their spare time. Baseball offered them a few hours of distraction from their daily lives, and chance to support their community by “rooting for their home team.” The remnants of the war, and the Spanish Influenza of latter part of 1918 played a significant influence in lack of interest, and financial support of professional baseball in Blue Ridge League towns of Cumberland, Hagerstown and Frederick, Maryland, Martinsburg, West Virginia, and the Pennsylvania Townships of Chambersburg, Hanover and Gettysburg in 1919.

    Class D, Blue Ridge League 1920 – A Rebirth in the Post-War Era by Mark Zeigler The towns surrounding the northern Blue Ridge mountains had a taste of professional baseball for several years before the Great War (known today as World War I), abruptly curtailed the 1918 baseball season, just three weeks into the schedule. Baseball had been a strong focal point for the participating communities that fielded teams in the Class D, Blue Ridge League. This was a time when the trolley was the main source of transportation, and the vehicle of choice was a Maxwell. Radio was just in its infant stages, and the thought of television was not even known for almost another twenty years. By 1920, the 20th Amendment allowed women the right to vote, while the 21st Amendment, Prohibition was in full force throughout the country. The nation’s attitudes were changing, but one constant was baseball. People were re-energized after the war effort had ended, and were looking for new things to do in their spare time. Baseball offered them a few hours of distraction from their daily lives, and a chance to support their community by “rooting for their home team.” 1919, A Lost Season Professional baseball felt a void in Hagerstown and the other Blue Ridge League towns in 1919. The only opportunity for many players to play baseball in the area came from the Industrial League towns of Waynesboro and Hagerstown, which fielded teams from the Landis Tool Company, and The Frick Company, to name a few.

The members of the Class of 2020 have been added to the International League Hall of Fame plaque display. The new inductees or family members will be presented with “The Curtain Call” statue during individual enshrinement ceremonies yet to be scheduled. The IL Hall of Fame plaque display serves as a traveling testament to the storied legacy of the International League. Before embarking on his legendary career with the Atlanta Braves, Chipper Jones turned in an All-Star season for the Richmond Braves in 1993 at the age of 21. Missing only one game all season for the playoff-bound R-Braves, Jones hit .325 with thirteen home runs, 89 RBI, and 23 stolen bases. He led the International League with 174 hits, twelve triples, and 97 runs scored and was elected as the IL Rookie of the Year. With Atlanta, Jones went on to be an eight-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger winner, and the 1999 National League MVP.
