  • Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER 1 Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed King Arthur’s quest for it in the Middle Ages became a large part of his legend. Monty Python and Indiana Jones launched their searches in popular 1974 and 1989 movies. The mythic quest for the Holy Grail, the name given in Western tradition to the chal- ice used by Jesus Christ at his Passover meal the night before his death, is now often a metaphor for a quintessential search. In the illustrious history of baseball, the “holy grail” is a ranking of each player’s overall value on the baseball diamond. Because player skills are multifaceted, it is not clear that such a ranking is possible. In comparing two players, you see that one hits home runs much better, whereas the other gets on base more often, is faster on the base paths, and is a better fielder. So which player should rank higher? In Baseball’s All-Time Best Hitters, I identified which players were best at getting a hit in a given at-bat, calling them the best hitters. Many reviewers either disapproved of or failed to note my definition of “best hitter.” Although frequently used in base- ball writings, the terms “good hitter” or best hitter are rarely defined. In a July 1997 Sports Illustrated article, Tom Verducci called Tony Gwynn “the best hitter since Ted Williams” while considering only batting average.

    By Tony Parker 2005 Baseball Canada Senior Championship- August 28-28th, 2005 Welcome to the web site of the 2005 Baseball Canada Senior Baseball Championship. Baseball history doesn’t always have to be boring statistical analysis. This is a game that began somewhere in the early 1800’s and was increasingly documented after the first major professional league was founded in the United States in 1876 and Canada has been very much a part of that game as you will find below. In addition to this section we have also created a series of baseball trivia and informationals that will allow you to learn more about the game in what we hope is an entertaining fashion. As few boring stats as possible , because few of us are bookkeepers or accountants. Foxy & Tip Marchildon Too Canadian Baseball is alive and well and has contributed greatly to the Major League game, even if Ferguson Jenkins remains the only Canadian born player enshrined at Cooperstown. You may think that Larry Walker is the lone Canadian to win a Major League batting crown and if so, you would be wrong, but if you weren’t alive in 1887 then you didn’t see a Canadian lad named Tip O’Neill become the first ever triple crown winner in professional baseball history or that legendary U.S. Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill was named after that same Canadian triple crown winner. And did you know that the first player to use a padded glove (Foxy Irwin), the first retired player to start broadcasting games on radio (Jack Graney) and the first no-hitter recorded after the top players returned from service in WW II (Dick Fowler) were also Canadians? Graney also played in the same starting outfield with baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson as well as Hall of Fame player Tris Speaker and batted behind Cy Young in his final big league season when Cy was wrapping up his career record of 51 1 wins (Unquestionably baseball’s most unbreakable Major League mark).

Reynolds BRISK chillingbreeze whipped along the steel girders supporting Forbes Field, creating a haunting mournful sound which projected Alost, images of long cheering, ghostly crowds. Here and there, puddles gathered along stairways and the sparkling green outfield grass reflected drops of moisture. As the heavy dark morning clouds rapidly receded, the temperature climbed into the low 50s. Aspring day began to show promise. It was noon, Saturday, May 25, 1935, when the stadium gates swung open. Forbes Field seated over 30,000, but on this day only 10,000 would attend. The early morning showers, plus the promise of a game meaningless to the standings, discouraged attendance. The Pirates fielded a good first division club under player manager Pie Traynor, but itlacked the ingredients to be a serious contender. The visiting club, the Boston Braves, were going nowhere. James C. Reynolds is a writer inBeaver Falls, Pa., where he was also the mayor for a time. This article is adapted from his unpublished book manuscript about Babe Ruth that focuses on Ruth's last weekend as a player inPittsburgh. Information for this article came primarily from coverage inthe Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph and Pittsburgh Press (both defunct now), as wellas from interviews with former Pirate stadium announcer ArtMcKenna and former Pirate first baseman Gus Suhr, and from the dozens of books on Ruth. 75 Boston was the consistent last place team of the National him capable, ithad become such an obsession that Yankee owner League.
