  • From the Bullpen
    1 FROM THE BULLPEN Official Publication of The Hot Stove League Eastern Nebraska Division 1992 Season Edition No. 11 September 22, 1992 Fellow Owners (sans Possum): We have been to the mountaintop, and we have seen the other side. And on the other side was -- Cooperstown. That's right, we thought we had died and gone to heaven. On our recent visit to this sleepy little hamlet in upstate New York, B.T., U-belly and I found a little slice of heaven at the Baseball Hall of Fame. It was everything we expected, and more. I have touched the plaque of the one they called the Iron Horse, and I have been made whole. The hallowed halls of Cooperstown provided spine-tingling memories of baseball's days of yore. The halls fairly echoed with voices and sounds from yesteryear: "Say it ain't so, Joe." "Can't anybody here play this game?" "Play ball!" "I love Brian Piccolo." (Oops, wrong museum.) "I am the greatest of all time." (U-belly's favorite.) "I should make more money than the president, I had a better year." "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?" And of course: "I feel like the luckiest man alive." Hang on while I regain my composure. Sniff. Snort. Thanks. I'm much better From the Bullpen Edition No. 11 September 22, 1992 Page 2 now. If you ever get the chance to go to Cooperstown, take it. But give your wife your credit card and leave her at Macy's in New York City. She won't get it.

  • Baseball Fans Back Lifetime Ban of Pete Rose by 56-42 Percent
    The Harris Poll For release: Sunday AM, September 3, 1989 1989 137 ISSN 0895-7983 BASEBALL FANS BACK LIFETIME BAN OF PETE ROSE BY 56-42 PERCENT By Louis Harris Both baseball fans and the general public endorse Cmissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti's decision to ban Pete Rose from baseball for life. Baseball fans support the Comnissioner's action by 56-42 percent, while the entire public backs his action by a slightly closer 52-41 percent according to this Harris Poll, taken by telephone, between August 25th and 29th among a representative cross section of 1,250 adults nationwide, including 884 baseball fans. while these results show a sizable minority who would not have taken such drastic action, they represent a dramatic change of heart on the part of both the public and baseball fans from last March when the charges against the former Cincinnati Reds manager were first made. Back then, a solid 55 percent majority would have simply had the Comissioner take him to task for betting on baseball, but then would have "given [him] another chance." Now the fans believe Commissioner Giamatti was right by a 14 point margin. The reasons are evident from this special Harris Sports Survey: -- An 84 percent majority of baseball fans are convinced that Rose was guilty of betting on baseball games. Such an infraction of baseball's rules could bring him an automatic suspension from the game for one year. -- A 68-22 percent majority of baseball fans are also convinced that Rose was guilty of betting on his own team, the Reds.

  • ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds
    ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds Located on the winding banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, the Great American Ball Park is home to the Cincinnati Reds, baseball's first professional franchise. The ballpark, built next door to the Reds’ former home, Riverfront Stadium, officially opened for the 2003 season. Equally as enthusiastic as their hometown fans, the ballpark’s management team continues to improve the ballpark’s energy performance and is a leader among stadiums nationwide. Energy Management with ENERGY STAR The Cincinnati Reds were one of the first Major League Baseball teams to join ENERGY STAR as a partner in 2008 and use ENERGY STAR resources to track energy usage, improve energy performance, and communicate their efforts to staff and the public. Improving energy performance is an important environmental strategy for the Reds and they have received kudos from local officials and enhanced loyalty from fans for leading by example. The ballpark operations management team benchmarks the ballpark’s energy performance using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Portfolio Manager, an online energy tool to track whole-building energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. By inputting historical energy data going back to 2007, and ongoing monthly energy consumption and cost information, the Reds are able to measure progress and quantify improvements. To date, the ballpark’s energy intensity is 27 percent better than the national average for entertainment buildings1, even with an off-season construction project during the winter of 2009. As part of their energy management plan, the ballpark’s building operations management team implemented several energy conservation measures and integrated energy efficient technologies into the ballpark’s infrastructure.

  • Bridewell V. Cincinnati Reds 155 F.3D 828 (6Th Cir
    Bridewell v. Cincinnati Reds 155 F.3d 828 (6th Cir. 1998) Authored by Ashley Hollan The maintenance staff working for the Cincinnati Reds (“Reds”) at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio brought suit against the Reds in 1998, asserting that the baseball franchise violated § 207 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1). The maintenance staff claimed the Reds violated the FLSA when they refused to pay the staff overtime (time plus one-half) for the hours that the staff worked exceeding 40 hours per week. The Reds claimed they should not be required to pay overtime as required by the FLSA because the franchise constitutes an amusement or recreational establishment that operated for less than seven months per year under § 213(a)(3)(A) of the FLSA. The district court granted summary judgment to the Reds, agreeing that the franchise’s seasonal operation serves to exempt the Reds from paying overtime. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, noting that the proper focus was not the duration of the baseball season, but on the fact that the Reds organization operated year-round with no fewer than 120 employees in the “off-season” and the case was remanded. In the appeal at hand the Reds challenged the decision of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing the seasonal operation of the franchise should suffice to exempt the Reds from paying overtime. The Reds cited § 213(a)(3), which exempts from the FLSA’s overtime provisions any employee employed by an establishment if it does not operate for more than seven months in any calendar year, or during the preceding calendar year, its average receipts for any six months of such year were not more than 33 1/3 per centum of its average receipts for the other six months of such year.

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.
