  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

  • ANTOINE GINGRAS (1821-1877) Fur Trader
    Did You Know That...? Volume 2 Snapshots ANTOINE GINGRAS (1821-1877) Fur Trader Honored Annually in Northeastern North Dakota Every year Walhalla celebrates "Gingras Day!" It is held in celebration of Antoine Gingras, an area entrepreneur who died in 1877. When Dakota Territory was created in 1861, Gingras was considered the richest man in the territory. He made most of his fortune by transporting animal hides, mostly buffalo, from what is now northeast North Dakota to St. Paul, a distance of 600 miles. He also had stores in Pembina, St. Joseph (now Walhalla), and Fort Garry (now Winnipeg), as well as a trading post near the Souris River. Gingras served in the Minnesota Territorial legislature in 1852 and 1853, participated in the 1869 rebellion led by Louis Riel against Canada, and had a county in Dakota Territory named after him. JOSEPH WHISTLER (1822-1898) Military Commander in Charge of Five Forts in What is Now North Dakota A man who was commander of several military posts in what is now North Dakota helped save the lives of countless starving Indians in the winter of 1867-68 and had a profound influence in the territories of Dakota and Montana from 1867 to 1888. Joseph Whistler was also the nephew of a woman whose portrait has been admired by millions of people for the past 135 years. His cousin, James Whistler, painted An Arrangement in Grey and Black, which is considered a masterpiece. The portrait is better known as Whistler's Mother.
