March 30, 1937 ''Mexico Mess'
March 30, 1937 Mexico City Mess March 30 In Mexico City, Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics break their spring train- ing camp and make their way North with the usual assorted bumps and bruises and sore muscles … after a five-week stay in the capital city, team owner/manager Connie Mack refuses to say whether the team will return for next year’s spring training … Mack indicates that if the team does returns, it will at a different hotel, one in the center of the city and not in the suburbs. It is reported that not only was the food unsatisfactory for his players, but odors from the kitchen “permeated” the hotel … flies and mosquitos were a constant nuisance … in addition, a popular nightclub, separated from the hotel by a narrow road, opened at 11:00 p.m. and entertained customers with a big band orchestra until 5:30 a.m. Two of the injuries suffered in Mexico City were by attending scribes as the Philadelphia Record’s Red Smith spent a week in bed after watching an after- noon game bareheaded and Ivan Peterman of the Philadelphia Bulletin was confined to bed for three days after becoming infected from an insect bite. Meanwhile, over in the Boston Red Sox camp, 19-year-old second baseman and future Hall of famer Robert Pershing (Bobby) Doerr impresses Red Smith team brass … despite an order of “no wives Philadelphia Bulletin in camp” rookie catcher John Peacock, a 1933 graduate and three-sport star at the University of North Carolina, is accompanied by his wife and three of her girlfriends … the Fremont, North Carolina native spends his off-season driving to mule markets in Atlanta, Georgia, and East St.

A Geographical Look at Home Runs
Academic Forum 24 2006-07 A Geographical Look at Home Runs Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper, we will look at career home runs for major league baseball players based on the state in which they were born. Major league baseball is known for its interesting statistics. There are multitudes of numbers and multitudes of ways of looking at the numbers. For some now-forgotten reason, I once started looking at home runs by the state of birth of the home run hitter. This chart gives home runs by state (including the District of Columbia). Consider the chart below, where “n” denotes the number of players born in that state who have hit at least one major league home run. [Note: All data comes from Lee Sinin's Sabermetric Baseball Encyclopedia .] HRs n HRs n HRs n Alabama 7985 153 Kentucky 2851 100 North Dakota 284 7 Alaska 71 5 Louisiana 4057 97 Ohio 10682 369 Arizona 876 32 Maine 262 23 Oklahoma 5090 105 Arkansas 3252 61 Maryland 4729 101 Oregon 2293 46 California 41790 894 Massachusetts 4314 217 Pennsylvania 13666 493 Colorado 414 27 Michigan 5057 149 Rhode Island 1093 30 Connecticut 1999 76 Minnesota 2505 62 South Carolina 3496 88 D.C. 600 35 Mississippi 3256 84 South Dakota 122 10 Delaware 563 18 Missouri 6882 234 Tennessee 3045 102 Florida 8984 163 Montana 198 9 Texas 11238 303 Georgia 5672 139 Nebraska 1137 46 Utah 170 11 Hawaii 202 15 Nevada 200 8 Vermont 540 17 Idaho 712 11 New Hampshire 301 20 Virginia 2624 95 Illinois 11504 393 New Jersey 3830 146 Washington 2952 68 Indiana 3601 129 New Mexico 664 9 West Virginia 1803 50 Iowa 1611 75 New York 13008 404 Wisconsin 2534 83 Kansas 1756 66 North Carolina 3507 168 Wyoming 244 6 Not surprisingly, California has both the most home runs and the most 45000 home run hitters.

Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, October 30, 2015 Braves.Com
Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, October 30, 2015 Braves.com Simmons vying for 3rd straight Gold Glove By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | October 29th, 2015 ATLANTA -- It has been easy to assume Andrelton Simmons might gain the same unique defensive distinction earned by fellow Curacao native Andruw Jones, who won 10 consecutive Rawlings Gold Glove Awards while he was playing for the Braves. Simmons has won a Gold Glove Award after each of his first two full seasons at the Major League level. But his bid for a third consecutive year will depend on how National League managers and coaches compared his defensive prowess to that possessed by San Francisco's Brandon Crawford and Miami's Adeiny Hechavarria. Simmons, Crawford and Hechavarria are the three finalists selected to win the Gold Glove for NL shortstops this season. The winners will be announced during a one-hour show that will air on ESPN on Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. ET. Each manager and as many as six coaches from every staff cast their votes in September, with the stipulation that they could not vote for their own players. This is the second year, Rawlings has used a sabermetric component to account for 25 percent of the vote selection total. Simmons led all NL shortstops in Defensive Runs Saved (25), Ultimate Zone Rating (17.3) and Fangraphs' Defensive Runs Above Average (23.9), which accounts for fielding runs and positional adjustment. Hechavarria had a slight advantage (17.7 to 17.5) over the Braves shortstop in the UZR/150 category. Since making his Major League debut during the 2012 season, Simmons has established himself as one of baseball's most exciting defensive players.

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.
