Nothing Minor About It the American Association/AFL of 1936-50
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 2 (1990) Nothing minor about it The American Association/AFL of 1936-50 By Bob Gill Try as I might, I can’t seem to mention the era before World War II without calling it “the heyday of pro football’s minor leagues.” But it’s not just an idle comment. In the 1930s several flourishing regional “circuits” of independent teams coalesced into outstanding minor leagues. From today’s perspective, one of the least likely locales for such a circuit was the New York-New Jersey area, where fans had the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers to satisfy their hunger for pro football. Despite that, the area produced the best of all the pre-war minor leagues: the American Association (soon to be immortalized in another best-selling PFRA publication). The AA was formed in June 1936, in response to a proposal by Edwin (Piggy) Simandl, manager of the Orange Tornadoes. Charter members were Brooklyn, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, Orange, Passaic, Paterson, Staten Island and White Plains. Several of these cities had been represented in two earlier leagues, the 1932 Eastern League and the 1933 Interstate League, both of which failed after a single season. However, those leagues didn’t have Joe Rosentover as president. Despite the early demise of his own Passaic club, Rosentover remained at the helm of the league for its whole existence. The AA’s first season was somewhat like that of its main rival, the Dixie League, which also opened for business in 1936. No team established any clear superiority, and at the end of November Rosentover announced a playoff series matching the top four teams, two each from what the newspapers sometimes called the New York group and the New Jersey group. -

Understanding Baseball Team Standings and Streaks

Redner2,a 1 Laboratoire de Physique Th´eorique - IRSAMC, CNRS, Universit´e Paul Sabatier, 31062 Toulouse, France 2 Center for Polymer Studies and Department of Physics, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA Received 29 July 2008 / Received in final form 8 October 2008 Published online 5 November 2008 – c EDP Sciences, Societ`a Italiana di Fisica, Springer-Verlag 2008 ! Abstract. Can one understand the statistics of wins and losses of baseball teams? Are their consecutive- game winning and losing streaks self-reinforcing or can they be described statistically? We apply the Bradley-Terry model, which incorporates the heterogeneity of team strengths in a minimalist way, to answer these questions. Excellent agreement is found between the predictions of the Bradley-Terry model and the rank dependence of the average number team wins and losses in major-league baseball over the past century when the distribution of team strengths is taken to be uniformly distributed over a finite range. Using this uniform strength distribution, we also find very good agreement between model predictions and the observed distribution of consecutive-game team winning and losing streaks over the last half-century; however, the agreement is less good for the previous half-century. The behavior of the last half-century supports the hypothesis that long streaks are primarily statistical in origin with little self-reinforcing component. -
Making the Rules of Sports Fairer
Making the Rules of Sports Fairer Steven J. Brams Department of Politics New York University New York, NY 10012 USA [email protected] Mehmet S. Ismail Department of Economics Maastricht University PO Box 616 6200 MD Maastricht The Netherlands [email protected] 2 Making the Rules of Sports Fairer Abstract The rules of many sports are not fair—they do not ensure that equally skilled competitors have the same probability of winning. As an example, the penalty shootout in soccer, wherein a coin toss determines which team kicks first on all five penalty kicks, gives a substantial advantage to the first-kicking team, both in theory and practice. We show that a so-called Catch- Up Rule for determining the order of kicking would not only make the shootout fairer but also is essentially strategyproof. By contrast, the so-called Standard Rule now used for the tiebreaker in tennis is fair. We briefly consider several other sports, all of which involve scoring a sufficient number of points to win, and show how they could benefit from certain rule changes, which would be straightforward to implement. 3 Making the Rules of Sports Fairer1 1. Introduction In this paper, we show that the rules for competition in some sports are not fair. By “fair,” we mean that they give equally skilled competitors the same chance to win—figuratively, they level the playing field. Later we will be more precise in defining “fairness.” We first consider knockout (elimination) tournaments in soccer (i.e., football, except in North America), wherein one team must win. -

Left out of College Football Playoff, Ohio State Is Headed to the Rose Bowl
Left Out Of College Football Playoff, Ohio State Is Headed To The Rose Bowl For the second season in a row, a Big Ten championship wasn’t enough for Ohio State to get into the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes (12-1), coming off a 45-24 victory over Northwestern in the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis on Saturday, found themselves on the outside looking in when the final playoff field was announced Sunday afternoon. Alabama got in as the No. 1 seed with Clemson at No. 2, Notre Dame at No. 3 and Oklahoma rounding out the playoffs in fourth. Ohio State, it turned out, wasn’t even the first team on the bubble. The Buckeyes stayed at sixth in the final rankings, one spot behind Georgia. While the playoffs are out of the picture for Ohio State, the Scarlet and Gray are set for a trip to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., for the first time since Urban Meyer took over as head coach. The Buckeyes last played in the Rose Bowl in 2009-10, when they beat Oregon, 26-17. This time around, Ohio State is set to face Washington on New Year’s Day. The Huskies (10-3) clinched their berth in the Rose Bowl by beating Utah, 10-3, on Friday in the Pac-12 championship game. Ohio State is 7-7 all time in the Rose Bowl, which traditionally pits the Big Ten champion vs. the Pac-12 champion. The Buckeyes missed out on the Rose Bowl last year because it was one of two CFP semifinal games instead, leaving Ohio State to face USC in the Cotton Bowl.
