  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

    Arizona HistorymakersJ Oral History Transcript Historical League, Inc. 8 2018 JERRY COLANGELO Date of Birth - 1939 Honored as a Historymaker 2001 Community Leader and Sports Entrepreneur The following is an oral history interview with Jerry Colangelo (JC) conducted by Pam Stevenson (PS) and video-graphed by Bill Leverton for Historical League, Inc. on May 31, 2000 at Mr. Colangelo’s office at America West Arena, Phoenix, Arizona. Transcripts for website edited by members of Historical League, Inc. Original tapes are in the collection of the Arizona Heritage Center Archives, an Historical Society Museum, Tempe, Arizona PS: The first thing I'd like to do is get your name. JC: The name is Jerry Colangelo, the formal name is Gerald John Colangelo, but I was referred to as Jerry early on and more or less have changed it to Jerry because Gerald just never set well with me for some reason. PS: Sounds very formal. JC: It did. PS: Why don't you tell me about when you were born and where you were born? JC: I was born in a suburb of Chicago. A working class community called Chicago Heights, Illinois. It was made up of Italian immigrants, Polish immigrants, and others, but primarily a city that whose industry was steel mills and textile factories, etc. I was born in Chicago Heights on November 20, 1939. And when I say that it's still hard for me to believe that so many years have passed, but it was a wonderful place, in my opinion, to grow up and if I had to choose a time in which to live, I'm grateful that I came along when I did.

More than an announcer, Chick embodied the spirit and determination that have made the Los Angeles Lakers champions 16 times over. The Lakers lone play-by-play voice since the team moved to Los Angeles prior to the 1960-61 season, Chick was the Lakers for the better part of four decades. With his words-eye-view of the game and colorful chickisms making his broadcasts truly one of a kind, it is a streak of unmatched proportions that will perhaps be Chick’s lasting legacy.

The comparison of athletes is more than simply a topic of casual discussion among fans, it is also an issue of critical importance to the history of each major professional sport and the institution (Hall of Fame) in charge of preserving the sport’s history. Here we develop and test an objective statistical method for normalizing career success metrics across time dependent factors. This method preserves the overall functional form of the probability distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. We re-rank the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA and find that certain achievements (home runs, strikeouts, rebounds) are more sensitive to time-dependent success factors than others (hits, wins). 1 Introduction Individual success in competitive endeavors, such as professional sports [1,2,3] and academia [2,4], depends on many factors: some factors are time dependent whereas others are time independent. These factors range from the inevitable (rule changes, improved nutrition and training techniques, talent dilution of players from league expansion) to the controversial (performance enhancing drugs).
