    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.

  • Spy Wednesday Be Still Day 43
    Be Still Day 43 Spy Wednesday BE STILL Take a moment to still yourself before Jesus. Take a few minutes to tell Him who He is. "Jesus you are ______________." Take another few moments to reflect on any good that has happened in the last 24 hours. Scripture tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from God (James 1:17). Thank Him for those things. What concerns are on your mind? How has the last 24 hours gone? Do you see ANY movement or change in the things you have prayed over the last week? If so, make note of it. Prayer Dear Lord, I know if Judas could have heard better, he may never have betrayed You. Give me ears to hear your voice so that I may always remain in the center of your will. Quiet the noise in my heart and mind so I can hear from you today. Guide me today as one who loves You and seeks to love like you. Amen. READ Matthew 26:14-16, John 13:18-30 FOCUS Focus Verse of the Day: John 13:26-27 – Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. APPLICATION & REFLECTION Wednesday of Holy Week has long been called “Spy Wednesday”. As the conspiracy against Jesus progresses, a traitor from within takes action.

  • Designated Hitters and Subesquent Team Scoring
    DESIGNATED HITTERS AND SUBESQUENT TEAM SCORING PERFORMANCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF SCIENCE BY SARAH E. CHO DR. HOLMES FINCH – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2020 2 ABSTRACT RESEARCH PAPER: Designated Hitters and Subsequent Team Scoring Performance in Major League Baseball STUDENT: Sarah E. Cho DEGREE: Master of Science COLLEGE: Teachers College DATE: July 2020 PAGES: 27 The Designated Hitter (DH) rule in Major League Baseball (MLB) is a topic of great debate. In the National League (NL), all players take a turn at bat. However, in the American League (AL), a DH usually bats for the pitcher. MLB pitchers typically do not have strong batting averages. The DH rule was created to increase a team’s offense. This study looked at whether there is an apparent difference between the AL and the NL. In theory, a DH will lead to more hits, more runs, and therefore a higher scoring game. This study looked at the average runs per game and total home runs for the AL and NL during the 1998 through 2018 regular seasons. Since the assumptions of parametric multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were not met, a nonparametric analysis was used. The permutation test for multivariate means results showed an apparent difference between the two leagues (p < .05). A quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) was used as a follow up test and showed home runs as the variable driving the difference between the two leagues. Therefore, the AL has better scoring performance than the NL.

  • Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees
    Academic Forum 30 2012-13 Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction Seven years ago, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox. I did similar research on additional teams and decided to publish four of those this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. The Nationals The Montreal Expos, along with the San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots debuted in 1969, the year that the major leagues introduced division play. The Pilots lasted a single year before becoming the Milwaukee Brewers. The Royals had a good deal of success, but then George Brett retired. Not much has gone well at Kauffman Stadium since. The Padres have been little noticed except for their horrid brown and mustard uniforms. They make up for it a little with their military tribute camouflage uniforms but otherwise carry on with little notice from anyone outside southern California.

  • Blast out of Left Field Keeps Expos in Limbo by Steve Cameron
    July 1, 2004 Blast out of Left Field Keeps Expos in Limbo By Steve Cameron PLANNING, designing and building a sports and entertainment facility is like doing a jigsaw puzzle. You can't afford to have one piece missing. Ask the movers and shakers in Washington. If every piece had fit properly in their plans to create a baseball stadium in the shadow of the Capitol, the Montreal Expos might be playing in RFK Stadium this season -- waiting only for completion of a palatial new home. Instead, Major League Baseball opted to leave the travel-weary Expos to suffer another year in limbo while several other cities jumped headlong into the bidding for the troubled franchise. Maybe, just maybe, MLB decided sometime last summer to slow down the process of securing a permanent home for the Expos. Perhaps the notion of involving such cities as Norfolk, Va., Las Vegas and Monterrey, Mexico, seemed a good way to establish leverage and wring the last possible dollar out of the "winning" ownership group. Maybe a single stumble in Washington wasn't the reason for dragging out the Expos' agony. But perhaps it was. Well over a year ago, the District of Columbia approached MLB with a powerhouse presentation. A dream team of architects, city planners and transportation and financial experts came up with all the answers -- not to mention two or three fantastic sites for a stadium in what is now a thriving area of Washington. "You're never completely sure in situations like this one," said Chris Dunlavey, president of Brailsford & Dunlavey, the consulting firm that coordinated the district's plan.

  • Portail De L'éducation De Historica Canada the Great Teams
    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada The Great Teams Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprint videos for the Edmonton Grads, Montreal Expos, Toronto Blue Jays and the World Series Championships, and the 1976 Canada Cup Team. The Edmonton Grads' astonishing record ended when they disbanded at the beginning of the Second World War. The conflict between East and West was as cold on the ice as off during the 1976 Canada Cup. The Toronto Blue Jay victory at the World Series helped to subdue ever-present concerns of American Manifest Destiny. Each of these teams has helped to represent Canada on the world stage, and in doing so, contributed to the constant evolution of Canadian identity. Aims To increase student awareness of the history of Canadian success in team sports; to increase student appreciation of the historical context of team competitions; to explore how Canadians have defined themselves and the nation through team sports; and, to critically investigate whether team competition is a forum for political and cultural understanding or a venue for increased cross-country animosity. Background When England lost to Germany in the 1990 soccer World Cup semifinal, historian Kenneth Clarke asked then-Prime Minister of Great Britain Margaret Thatcher, "Isn't it terrible about losing to the Germans at our national sport?" She replied, "I shouldn't worry too much; we've beaten them twice this century at theirs." This exchange speaks to the belief that sports is a less violent form of war, and that a country's history can be a story of successive conflicts with other nations.

  • Where Should Major League Baseball Relocate the Montreal Expos?
    Tom Fletcher Melanie Goodrich Will Sladek Where Should Major League Baseball Relocate the Montreal Expos? Major League Baseball Major League Baseball (MLB) has a Congressionally granted monopoly on professional baseball in the United States. At present, MLB is comprised of 30 clubs, 28 in the United States and 2 in Canada. The 30 owners collectively have most of the decision making power. The owners have limited veto power over decisions, though in the case of relocation, an owner can veto the move if it infringes on the owner’s pre-existing market. The commissioner of baseball runs day-to-day operations at the behest of the owners. The commissioner is responsible for national advertising and media deals, maintaining the state of the game and enforcing the rules, and building the MLB brand. The last three years have been tumultuous years from a business perspective. The last year for which we have independent data (2001) shows that ten major league are teams losing money despite MLB’s strong revenue growth overall. Issues of competitive balance and quality of play led the Commissioner’s office to recommend that two teams be disbanded. The 29 other owners bought out the owner of the Montreal Expos with the intention of disbanding the club; however, MLB’s strong player’s union was unwilling to accept a 7% reduction in employment and the plan was abandoned, at a high cost to public relations. Faced with owning a franchise they do not want, the owners must collectively decide what to do with the team they have bought.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.
