  • Baseball's Worst Team Fred Worth Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
    Academic Forum 21 2003-04 Baseball's Worst Team Fred Worth Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper we will look at some of the worst teams in baseball history and try to decide which team was indeed the worst. We will look at some statistics that will compare the teams to the teams of their day to try to account for the differences in eras. Introduction Much discussion is heard regarding who the best player, hitter, pitcher, etc. in baseball history may have been. There is not typically a lot of discussion on who the worst in any of these categories may be. The 2003 season changed that a little bit due to the incredible futility displayed by the Detroit Tigers. In this paper, we will look at some of the worst teams in baseball history and see if, indeed, the Tigers qualify. Preliminary Criteria The first consideration needs to be what criteria we will use to make our determination of the worst team. Certainly the teams win-loss record and winning percentage should be considered. Since the word "worst" implies a comparison, we should also look a how far the teams finished out of first place and, to see how truly bad they were, how far they finished behind the next-to- last-place team. Candidates The following table lists the teams we will consider for the designation as the worst team in baseball history. There have been other teams that were very bad. Obviously the choice of candidates is fairly arbitrary, however, most would agree that these nine teams were rather bad.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • Borchert Field
    Approximate boundaries: N-W. Keefe Ave; S-W. Burleigh; E-Hwy 43,W -N.20th St NORTHS IDEBorchert Field NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION Borchert Field is a mostly residential neighborhood with a modest business corridor on Burleigh Street. The neighborhood has gently rolling mounds and a relatively steep hill that slopes from the north side of Borchert Field at Keefe Avenue down to Ring Street. Streets follow a grid pattern with the exception of North Teutonia Avenue that runs at a diagonal from Keefe to Burleigh. The main neighborhood housing types are bungalows and two-story duplexes built in the early 20th century. Union Cemetery occupies the rest of the neighborhood west of Teutonia, taking up approximately one-third of Borchert Field. See neighborhood photos below. HISTORY The neighborhood of Borchert Field owes its name to Otto Borchert, a one-time owner of the minor league Milwaukee Brewers, a member team of the American Association between 1902 and 1952. The team played at Athletic Field, built in 1888, which was later renamed Brewers Field, and eventually called Borchert Field after the team’s owner. Ironically, Borchert Field (see belowi) is not even within the boundaries of the current neighbor- hood by that name. The stadium,that was razed in 1952, was bounded by North 7th, 8th, Chambers, and Burleigh Streets, off the southeastern border of today’s Borchert Field neighborhood, covered in part now by Interstate-43, but clearly located in the North Division area. The following photo provides a glimpse ofrooftops Postcard of Athletic Field exterior, 1911 surrounding the stadium—some in today’s Borchert Field neighborhood and some in North Division.

  • Packers Stadiums
    Home to the Packers When you think of the Packers home stadium, Lambeau Field comes to mind. Over the years, the team has called eight locations home during the regular season. For the majority of their existence, the Packers split time between the Green Bay and Milwaukee areas.
