  • Baseball and Beesuboru
    AMERICAN BASEBALL IMPERIALISM, CLASHING NATIONAL CULTURES, AND THE FUTURE OF SAMURAI BESUBORU PETER C. BJARKMAN El béisbol is the Monroe Doctrine turned into a lineup card, a remembrance of past invasions. – John Krich from El Béisbol: Travels Through the Pan-American Pastime (1989) When baseball (the spectacle) is seen restrictively as American baseball, and then when American baseball is seen narrowly as Major League Baseball (MLB), two disparate views will tend to appear. In one case, fans happily accept league expansion, soaring attendance figures, even exciting home run races as evidence that all is well in this best of all possible baseball worlds. In the other case, the same evidence can be seen as mirroring the desperate last flailing of a dying institution – or at least one on the edge of losing any recognizable character as the great American national pastime. Big league baseball’s modern-era television spectacle – featuring overpaid celebrity athletes, rock-concert stadium atmosphere, and the recent plague of steroid abuse – has labored at attracting a new free-spending generation of fans enticed more by notoriety than aesthetics, and consequently it has also succeeded in driving out older generations of devotees once attracted by the sport’s unique pastoral simplicities. Anyone assessing the business health and pop-culture status of the North American version of professional baseball must pay careful attention to the fact that better than forty percent of today’s big league rosters are now filled with athletes who claim their birthright as well as their baseball training or heritage outside of the United States.

  • 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.

A . , Fort Hays State University Dat~ L~ ZDU0 Approved/E ABSTRACT This thesis provides a history of the National Baseball Congress (NBC) tournament in Wichita, Kansas, from its founding in 1935 to 2005. The NBC tournament, since its inception, has had an impact culturally, economically, and socially on the city of Wichita, and to a lesser degree, an impact on Major League Baseball and other facets of organized baseball. By using a decade-by- decade overview of the history of the NBC tournament, one finds how social and cultural events have played a role in the success of the NBC tournament, and how the tournament influenced the baseball world.

    Remembering ‘57 Page 1 of 4 Publication: Star Progress; Date: Aug. 30, 2007;Section: Sports; Page: 22 SPORTS Remembering ‘57 Former all-star catcher Del Crandall of Brea takes part in a celebration honoring the 1957 World Champion Milwaukee Braves. By LOU PONSI STAFF WRITER Former Major League catcher Del Crandall, 77, recalls every detail of the proudest moment of his career. The date was Oct. 10, 1957. The place: Yankee Stadium. The situation: two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game-7 of the World Series. The Yankees have the bases loaded. Moose Skowron hits a ground ball to Eddie Mathews at third. Mathews back hands the ball, and then steps on third for the final out of the game and the series. Pitcher Lew Burdette, who notched his third victory of the series, Mathews, and Crandall, hugged between the third base line and the mound. “That’s my vivid memory of the ‘57 World Series,” said Crandall from his home in Brea. “The three of us jumping up and down ... that’s the picture that is in my mind the most, winning the seventh game of the World Series in Yankee Stadium.” Crandall, who caught every inning of the series, hit a homerun in the eighth inning of the deciding game. The eight-time all-star and four-time Gold Glove winner is one of 17 of the 23 living members of the ’57 World Championship Braves team that will be in Milwaukee Friday and Saturday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the championship. “We weren’t’ given much of a chance,” said Crandall, recalling the series.
