  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – Jan. 23, 2019 Walker short in next-to-last year on HOF ballot Former slugger receives 54.6 percent of vote; Helton gets 16.5 percent in first year of eligibility Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Jan. 22, 2019 DENVER -- Former Rockies star Larry Walker introduced himself under a different title during his conference call with Denver media on Tuesday: "Fifty-four-point-six here." That's the percentage of voters who checked Walker in his ninth year of 10 on the Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot. It's a dramatic jump from his previous high, 34.1 percent last year -- an increase of 88 votes. However, he's going to need an 87-vote leap to reach the requisite 75 percent next year, his final season of eligibility. Jayson Stark of the Athletic noted during MLB Network's telecast that the only player to receive a jump of at least 80 votes in successive years was former Reds shortstop Barry Larkin, who was inducted in 2012. But when publicly revealed ballots had him approaching the mid-60s in percentage, Walker admitted feeling excitement he hadn't experienced in past years. "I haven't tuned in most years because there's been no chance of it really happening," Walker said. "It was nice to see this year, to watch and to have some excitement involved with it. "I was on Twitter and saw the percentages that were getting put out there for me. It made it more interesting. I'm thankful to be able to go as high as I was there before the final announcement." When discussing the vote, one must consider who else is on the ballot.

  • Marquee Sports Network Announces Hiring of Jon Sciambi
    MARQUEE SPORTS NETWORK ANNOUNCES JON SCIAMBI AS CHICAGO CUBS PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER January 4, 2021 CHICAGO – Marquee Sports Network today announced the hiring of Jon “Boog” Sciambi as the Chicago Cubs television play-by-play announcer. Sciambi has served in numerous roles with ESPN since joining the network full- time in 2010, most prominently as the voice of ESPN Sunday Night Baseball for MLB on ESPN Radio, and as the regular play-by-play voice on Wednesday Night Baseball telecasts for ESPN since 2014. During his time at ESPN, Sciambi has contributed to ESPN Radio’s MLB World Series coverage as an on-site studio host, while providing post-game, on-field interviews for ESPN’s SportsCenter. He also has held play-by-play duties for both the College and Little League World Series. His time at the network dates to 2005, when he began doing play-by-play for select college basketball and MLB games, and he has continued in play-by-play for both sports during his tenure at ESPN. In addition to his play-by-play duties at Marquee, he will continue to serve as a multi- platform broadcaster for ESPN. Sciambi previously served as the lead play-by-play television announcer for the Atlanta Braves from 2007-2009 and as the radio voice of the Florida Marlins from 1997-2004. “We are excited to welcome Boog to the Marquee Network and the Cubs organization. We’re confident he’ll add to the incredible legacy of Cubs broadcasters and quickly become a trusted friend to our amazing fans,” said Crane Kenney, Chicago Cubs President of Business Operations.

  • Fans Do Not Benefit from Steady Drumbeat of Baseball Coverage Cuts
    Fans do not benefit from steady drumbeat of media's continuing baseball coverage cuts By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Wednesday , May 3rd, 2017 The one blessed counter-trend to the steady drumbeat of baseball coverage cuts makes Bruce Miles’ life a bit more pleasant in 2017. The Chicago northwest suburban-based Daily Herald Cubs beat writer since 1998, Miles gets to pack his bag every so often to follow the Cubs away from Wrigley Field. His employers have restored some of the road coverage slashed since 2009. Miles used to cover the majority of road games and the entire spring training. But in this decade, he has largely been limited to driving to Milwaukee and one quick in-and-out week in Mesa. Thank goodness for small favors OK’d by Daily ESPN's Jayson Stark is the latest Herald editor John Lampinen.

No traveling reporter cover- ing the Cubs or Sox, or mic jockey working baseball for a downtown broadcast outlet has been laid off. No newspaper or web site covering baseball has folded here. But elsewhere, relentlessly, the pressboxes are steadily emptying out. Cutting through muscle into bone lately was the ESPN layoff of Jayson Stark, one of the business’ heavyweights.

A GIANT WHIFF: WHY THE NEW CBA FAILS BASEBALL'S SMARTEST SMALL MARKET FRANCHISES INTRODUCTION Just before Game 3 of the World Series, viewers saw something en- tirely unexpected. No, it wasn't the sight of the Cardinals and Tigers playing baseball in late October. Instead, it was Commissioner Bud Selig and Donald Fehr, the head of Major League Baseball Players' Association (MLBPA), gleefully announcing a new Collective Bar- gaining Agreement (CBA), thereby guaranteeing labor peace through 2011.1 The deal was struck a full two months before the 2002 CBA had expired, an occurrence once thought as likely as George Bush and Nancy Pelosi campaigning for each other in an election year.2 Baseball insiders attributed the deal to the sport's economic health.

He concluded that, “What is actu- ally being invaded here is America and its hold on its theoretical na- tional pastime. We’re not sure exactly when this happened—possi- bly while you were busy watching a Yankees-Red Sox game—but this isn’t just America’s sport anymore. It is Latin America’s sport.” While it may not have gone that far yet, the presence of Latino players in baseball, especially in Major League Baseball, has grown enormously. In 1990, the Racial and Gender Report Card recorded that 13 percent of MLB players were Latino. In the 2009 MLB Racial and Gender Report Card, 27 percent of the players were La- tino. The all-time high was 29.4 percent in 2006. Teams from South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean enter the World Baseball Classic with superstar MLB players on their ros- ters. Stark wrote, “The term, ‘baseball game,’ won’t be adequate to describe it. These games will be practically a cultural symposium— where we provide the greatest Latino players of our time a monstrous stage to demonstrate what baseball means to them, versus what baseball now means to us.” American youth have an array of sports to play besides base- ball, including soccer, basketball, football, and hockey.

    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, April 1, 2021 * The Boston Globe With new faces, Red Sox begin quest to start anew, and put 2020 in the distance Alex Speier Opening Day typically offers the promise of renewal. Yet for the Red Sox, the first game of the 2021 season offers something more — the long-awaited opportunity for the franchise to begin officially distancing itself from the wreckage of the 2020 campaign. An active offseason represented a potential start to that undertaking. The team that is introduced prior to Thursday’s 2:10 p.m. contest against the Orioles will be drastically different from the one that last played in front of fans on Sept. 29, 2019 — a game punctuated by Mookie Betts diving across the plate in an extra- innings walkoff victory over Baltimore – and the one that opened last year’s fan-less, ill-fated, last-place slog through a compressed season. Many of the most recognizable faces in recent franchise history are now gone. The last time a home opener had fans in attendance, Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., Andrew Benintendi, David Price, and Dustin Pedroia all collected their rings. Now, Betts and Price are Dodgers, Benintendi is a Royal, Bradley a Brewer, and Pedroia a retired dad. Still, while much has changed with those departures and the additions of players such as new leadoff hitter Kiké Hernández, outfielder Hunter Renfroe, starter Garrett Richards and late-innings contributor and Northeastern alum Adam Ottavino, there is some sense of reconnection to a time that predates the past 18 tumultuous months.

THE RECENT HISTORY OF HOME RuN BASEBALLS The summer of 1998 marked the rebirth of America's pastime, Major League Baseball, following several years of stunted growth caused by 1994's player strike. The resurgence is attributed in large part to the general public's fascination with the summer-long chase of Roger Maris's single-season record of sixty-one home runs. The St. Louis Cardinals' Mark McGwire and his Popeye-esque forearms led the charge, blasting twenty-seven home runs before the end of May, putting him on pace to hit more than eighty home runs by season's end.' In June, the Chicago Cubs' "Slammin"' Sammy Sosa smashed twenty home runs to set the all-time single-month home run record and position himself just four home runs behind McGwire, thirty-seven to thirty-three, beginning the season-long race to sixty-one.2 On August 10, Sosa finally caught McGwire, hitting his forty-fifth and forty-sixth home runs.

  • The Retro Sheet Retro News 9 Official Publication of Retrosheet, Inc
    June 2, 1999 Inside: Volume 6, Number 2 Game Acquisitions 2 Nominations Sought 3 Strange Plays 5 The Retro Sheet Retro News 9 Official Publication of Retrosheet, Inc. There are two topics for this column: game logs and data release policy. The game log story is really just an up- date from last time. Since then Tom Ruane has done a lot of work getting the logs organized. He has had help from Mark Armour who is filling in some of the gaps, especially umpires. In addition David Vincent has written a program that will make access to these logs easy and logical. All that is left is to get the logs posted on the web site, which we hope will be accomplished very soon, perhaps even before you read this notice. The Retrosheet Board of Directors explicitly gave permission to the President of the organiza- tion to decide when a given data file was ready to release. Up to this point, I have been very conservative and we have only released files that had undergone exhaustive proofing. For ex- ample, totals generated from our play by play files agree to the greatest extent possible with the official totals in all batting and pitching categories. For those cases (very few) where our numbers differ from the official totals, we have detailed descriptions of the source of these dif- ferences. The logic behind this slow approach is that I thought it would be damaging to our credibility to release one ver- sion of a file without detailed proofing and then to replace it later after we had made corrections.
