The 3-6-3 Double Play By Christopher Chestnut March 10, 2021 E-mail: [email protected] Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine which major league first baseman turned the most 3-6-3 double plays. Data Sources The information used here was obtained free of charge from and is copyrighted by Retrosheet. Interested parties may contact Retrosheet at www.retrosheet.org. The available Retrosheet play-by-play data includes both the American and National Leagues for 1916 to 2020. Additional data was used from www.mlb.com and www.baseball-reference.com. Definitions 3-6-3 Double Play – the first baseman fields a ground ball and throws to the shortstop to retire the runner on first. The shortstop returns the throw to the first baseman to retire the batter/runner. Opportunity – all ground balls (including bunts, excluding base hits) fielded by the first baseman with a runner on first (additional runners may be on second and/or third) and less than two outs. Attempt – all opportunities where the first play by the first baseman is a throw to the shortstop. Cumulative Results Filtering out the non-ground balls and base hits, I found: 107,239 opportunities 37,984 attempts 7,865 3-6-3 double plays 2,074 players with at least one opportunity The table below summarizes the results based on the throwing hand of the first baseman: Throws Players Opportunities Attempts Double Plays Attempts Turned Left 511 45,362 17,219 3,591 20.85% Right 1,563 61,877 20,765 4,274 20.58% Totals 2,074 107,239 37,984 7,865 20.71% 1 The data summarized by situation: NO OUTS Opportunities Attempts Double Plays Attempts Turned Runner on 1st 41,327 13,332 2,904 21.78% Runners on 1st and 2nd 9,496 2,564 216 8.42% Runners on 1st and 3rd 2,457 649 163 25.12% Bases Full 1,713 387 17 4.39% Totals 54,993 16,932 3,300 19.49% ONE OUT Opportunities Attempts Double Plays Attempts Turned Runner on 1st 30,650 13,527 3,673 27.15% Runners on 1st and 2nd 12,127 4,929 297 6.03% Runners on 1st and 3rd 5,123 1,561 524 33.57% Bases Full 4,346 1,035 71 6.86% Totals 52,246 21,052 4,565 21.68% Individual Results Albert Pujols has converted the most double plays in a single season with 13 in 2007. Gil Hodges (1954) and John Olerud (2000) have the single season record for most attempts with 37. Hodges holds the single season record for most opportunities with 87 in 1954. The most attempts in a season without turning a 3-6-3 is 21, by Joey Votto in 2011. Paul Goldschmidt, George McQuinn, and Mickey Vernon have had the most seasons (5) leading the majors in the most 3-6-3 double plays turned. Don Mattingly, Albert Pujols, and George Scott led the majors in four seasons and five players have led in three seasons. Looking at career totals, Albert Pujols has converted the most, with 81. Keith Hernandez has the most attempts with 332. Todd Helton has the most opportunities with 789. Lee Thomas has the most career attempts without turning the 3-6-3 – 34. Goldschmidt has converted the highest percentage of double plays, 40.15% (based on a minimum of 100 attempts). Orlando Cepeda is at the bottom of this list, with only 5.76% of attempts converted. 2 Individual Records - Season Most Attempts Most 3-6-3 Double Plays Most Attempts with No DP 37 Gil Hodges (1954) 13 Albert Pujols (2007) 21 Joey Votto (2011) John Olerud (2000) 12 Derrek Lee (2003) 20 Mark Grace (1989) 36 Wally Joyner (1988) 11 Charlie Grimm (1926) George Kelley (1929) 35 Keith Hernandez (1979) Kent Hrbek (1986) Adam LaRoche (2008) 34 Don Mattingly (1992) Joe Judge (1929) George Scott (1975) Gus Suhr (1930) James Loney (2013) Todd Zeile (2000) George McQuinn (1938) 19 Cecil Cooper (1983) Kendry Morales (2009) Joey Votto (2013) George Scott (1966) Gus Suhr (1930) Individual Records -

    Roy Sievers “A Hero may die, but his memory lives on” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By BILL HASS I had missed it in the sports section and on the internet. A friend of my mentioned it to me and sent me a link to the story. On April 3 – ironically, right at the start of the 2017 baseball season – Roy Sievers died at age 90. I felt a pang of deep sadness. After all, no matter how old you get, the little kid in you expects your heroes to live for- ever. As the years passed and I didn’t see any kind of obitu- ary on Sievers, I thought perhaps he might actually do that. I knew better, of course. Sometimes reality has a way of intruding on your impossible dreams, and maybe it’s just as well. I have never been much for having heroes. Oh, there are plenty of people I have admired and some of them have done heroic things. But a hero is someone who stays constant, someone you root for no matter what, and people in sports lend themselves to that. Roy Sievers was a genuine hero for me, and, really, the only athlete I ever put in that category. Let me explain why. In the early 1950s, when I first became aware of baseball, my family lived in the northern Virginia suburbs of Wash- ington, D.C. I rooted for the Washington Senators (known to their fans as the “Nats”), to whom the adjective “downtrod- den” was constantly applied, if not invented. Prior to the 1954 season, the Nats obtained Sievers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, formerly the St.

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.

INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.
