    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Braves.com Braves' Top 5 center fielders: Bowman's take By Mark Bowman No one loves a good debate quite like baseball fans, and with that in mind, we asked each of our beat reporters to rank the top five players by position in the history of their franchise, based on their career while playing for that club. These rankings are for fun and debate purposes only … if you don’t agree with the order, participate in the Twitter poll to vote for your favorite at this position. Here is Mark Bowman’s ranking of the top 5 center fielders in Braves history. Next week: Right fielders. 1. Andruw Jones, 1996-2007 Key fact: Stands with Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Ichiro Suzuki as the only outfielders to win 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards The 60.9 bWAR (Baseball Reference’s WAR model) Andruw Jones produced during his 11 full seasons (1997-2007) with Atlanta ranked third in the Majors, trailing only Alex Rodriguez (85.7) and Barry Bonds (79.2). Chipper Jones was fourth at 58.9. Within this span, the Braves center fielder led all Major Leaguers with a 26.7 Defensive bWAR. Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez ranked second with 16.5. The next closest outfielder was Mike Cameron (9.6). Along with establishing himself as one of the greatest defensive outfielders baseball has ever seen during his time with Atlanta, Jones became one of the best power hitters in Braves history. He ranks fourth in franchise history with 368 homers, and he set the club’s single-season record with 51 homers in 2005.

    Pallone, Dave (b. 1951) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Dave Pallone. Entry Copyright © 2009 glbtq, Inc. Image courtesy Dave Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Pallone, www. davepallone.com. Because of the prevalence of homophobia in the culture of men's professional sports, umpire Dave Pallone remained closeted until he was outed and forced out of baseball. Since leaving the game he has become an advocate for glbtq rights. David Pallone, born October 5, 1951 in Waltham, Massachusetts, grew up in a middle-class family in the adjacent city of Watertown. His father, Carmine Pallone, an immigrant from Italy, was a factory worker and also an ardent fan of the Boston Braves. While still in his teens, Carmine was offered a contract to pitch for the St. Louis Browns, but with the Great Depression in force, his father forbade him to accept it and told him to take a less risky job as a vegetable picker. Carmine Pallone taught his son to pitch and took him to Red Sox games (the Braves having decamped to Milwaukee in 1953). Dave Pallone dreamed of pitching in Fenway Park, thinking, as a teen, that realizing his father's unfulfilled dream "would really make [his] dad proud." Pallone pitched for his high school team, but his skill was not equal to that of his father. There was no hope of a college athletic scholarship, let alone a contract as a professional baseball player in his future. In the summer of 1970 Pallone was working two jobs as a stock boy in a grocery store and a caddie.

  • Ejection Patterns
    Ejections Through the Years and the Impact of Expanded Replay Ejections are a fascinating part of baseball and some have led to memorable confrontations, several of which are readily accessible in various electronic archives. Perhaps surprisingly, reliable information on ejections has been available only sporadically and there are many conflicting numbers in both print and on-line for even the most basic data such as the number of times a given player, manager or umpire was involved. The first comprehensive compilation of ejection data was carried out over many years by the late Doug Pappas, a tireless researcher in many areas of baseball, including economic analyses of the game. He not only amassed the details of over 11,000 ejections, he also lobbied intensely to have ejection information become a standard part of the daily box scores. He was successful in that effort and we have him to thank for something we now take for granted. After Doug’s passing, his ejection files made their way to Retrosheet where they were maintained and updated by the late David Vincent who expanded the database to over 15,000 events. In 2015, David used the expanded data in the Retrosheet files as the basis for an article which provided some fine background on the history of ejections along with many interesting anecdotes about especially unusual occurrences ((https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/VincentD/EjectionsHistory.pdf). Among other things, David noted that ejections only began in 1889 after a rule change giving umpires the authority to remove players, managers, and coaches as necessary. Prior to that time, offensive actions could only be punished by monetary fines.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, May 19, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, May 19, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle After terrible start, have the Giants turned the corner? Henry Schulman At long last, the sun has broken through the fog at 24 Willie Mays Plaza. It took until Mother’s Day, but the Giants finally found a way to play winning baseball. Giants fans could not be blamed if they took winning for granted. Their team had done a lot of it over the past eight seasons. Then came 2017, which started with them blowing a ninth-inning lead on Opening Day and losing at Arizona, a bleak harbinger for the local nine. The first quarter of the season, which the Giants completed Tuesday, looked like the start of an annus horribilis on and off the field for a team that was crowned a dynasty after winning the 2010, 2012 and 2014 World Series. The usual spring optimism turned to disbelief as many of the faithful and others within the game wondered if the Giants’ championship window had slammed shut. The view is a lot crisper now for the Giants, who won five games in a row before their streak was broken Wednesday. As recently as last week, they had the worst record of the 30 major- league teams at 12-24. “We had a six-week stretch that has been, if you combine on the field and off the field, like no other,” Giants President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Baer said. The losses on the field were only part of the misery. 1 The Giants were smacked with a numbing array of injuries.
