Parekh, MA The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015 Supervising Professors: William Arcé, Timothy Morris, James Warren The first chapter of this project looks at media representations of two Mexican- born baseball players—Fernando Valenzuela and Teodoro “Teddy” Higuera—pitchers who made their big league debuts in the 1980s and garnered significant attention due to their stellar play and ethnic backgrounds. Chapter one looks at U.S. media narratives of these Mexican baseball players and their focus on these foreign athletes’ bodies when presenting them the American public, arguing that 1980s U.S.

  • 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.

This monograph will examine those individuals who played the majority of their careers during this era and it will indicate who were the best players. As a secondary goal, it will seek to identify “Hall of Fame benchmarks” for position players and pitchers – to indicate whether a particular player appeared to post “HOF numbers” during his on-field career.

To gather this information, I’ve read hundreds of books, scanned thousands of pages of newspapers and magazines and interviewed many veterans. Not surprisingly, I’ve collected a lot of stories that haven’t had a “fit” in my newsletters or websites. I guess they would come under the category of funny or amusing, and certainly anecdotal. Anyway, I didn’t know what to do with them. And there was the birth of what you see After the release of the February 2018 before you.

  • Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings February 5, 2019
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings February 5, 2019 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1930-The Reds trade Dolf Luque to Brooklyn for Doug McWeeny, and purchase Leo Durocher from the Yankees. McWeeny lasts only one season with the Reds, going 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA in 25.2 innings pitched. Durocher will spend four seasons with the Reds, collecting a .227 batting average with 97 RBI CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell plans to make some changes at Spring Training Bobby Nightengale, Cincinnati Enquirer Published 5:19 p.m. ET Feb. 4, 2019 Under first-year manager David Bell, it’s clear the Reds want to embrace analytics and they want to introduce some changes to the way they conduct Spring Training once pitchers and catchers report to Goodyear, Arizona, next week. One of the clearest changes will be their daily schedule. Bell wants players to show up a little later to the ballpark, putting an extra emphasis on their sleep schedules. “It’s not too much later, but if you can shift it just 30 minutes or an hour, guys get an extra hour of sleep,” Bell said. “We all know how important sleep is. It’s not going to cut down on any work. It’ll actually help us be very focused on doing the same amount of work, if not more, in a shorter period of time.” Bell said he embraced all the information and analytics available to players and staff members when he was the San Francisco Giants’ farm director last year. That means trying to use spin rates and launch angles to their advantage, plus learning how players could benefit from more information about their sleep and nutrition.

Cullen: Latinos in the Major Leagues from 1920 to 1939: A Human Capital A Latinos in the Major Leagues from 1920 to 1939: A Human Capital Approach Tom Cullen* ABSTRACT. Economists frequently study the determinants of baseball players’ wages. Researchers usually control for measures of productivity such as the player's batting average, home runs, and runs batted in, education, age, and experience. This study differs from standard studies in that it considers players’ country of origin in the 1920s and 1930s, years before Jackie Robinson’s debut. It uses information on player productivity from Baseball-Reference.com, player salary information from the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (graciously shared by its compiler), and information on college attendance provided by Who's Who in Baseball (held at the Joyce Sports Collection, Notre Dame University).
