  • 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

  • SENIOR SOFTBALL SNIPPETS Vic Zoldy Implored Us to Have Fun
    MORE SENIOR SOFTBALL SNIPPETS Vic Zoldy implored us to have fun playing softball in this league. There is no better medicine in life than laughter. If we can’t laugh at ourselves playing softball as if we were still kids, then it isn’t fun. Here are some of our favorite lighter moments from the league’s history that makes us all laugh. 1. Senior Softball Snippet: The enraptured pitcher… Al Hessy’s reputation as a ladies man was legendary. Al always had his cell phone handy and was always talking to the ladies, even during the games. Focusing on softball doesn’t always avert senior moments. Al once took the mound but forgot to put on his pants. But what the hell, Al pitched anyway wearing only his long johns, complete with button-ups to cover up his butt. The game must go on. The league was co-ed at the time. 2. Senior Softball Snippet: Senior moment events even take place during batting practice. Ted Wiekowski had a classic one. Backing up trying to catch a popup near first base, Ted missed it and fell down. Ted was still on the ground with his butt facing home plate as the next ball was being pitched. Manny London put the next pitch square in the middle of Ted’s butt. Manny, of course, denies that Ted’s butt was the target he was aiming for and said he was just going with the pitch. Manny has never let Ted forget it, though. 3. Senior Softball Snippet: Angelo Malizia used to give career and romance advice to kids who played on his teams over the years.

Records, perhaps, that are not known to the generation of today have been given the greatest consideration, and this little volume, the reader must admit, holds every con- ceivable record one would care to know in the well- known sports. It has eliminated the con- sultation of dozens of books, some rather incomplete inso- far as fulfilling the purposes for which they are meant. Every record herein con- tained is authentic and accu- rate, having been obtained from sources which are affiU- ated very closely with that very sport.

  • AND YET EVEN STILL MORE SENIOR SOFTBALL SNIPPETS Vic
    AND YET EVEN STILL MORE SENIOR SOFTBALL SNIPPETS Vic Zoldy implored us to have fun playing softball in this league. There is no better medicine in life than laughter. If we can’t laugh at ourselves playing softball as if we were still kids, then it isn’t fun. Here are some of our favorite lighter moments from the league’s history that makes us all laugh as we move forward into Calendar Year 2016. SOME SUMMER LEFTOVERS… 166. Senior Softball Snippet: The Rumor Mill MCSSL style… John McCann was conspicuously absent last October at the end-of-season picnic. As expected, right away the rumors started flying. Some claimed that John’s selection as the model for the MCSSL Bobblehead Doll finally brought about the result that no one thought could ever happen – John rendered speechless. Now, some claim that John was so overcome with emotion that he couldn’t find the words to thank the league for such an honor, so he absented himself from the picnic. However, others claim that John was finally embarrassed to the point that he couldn’t make an appearance in front of his peers and suffer more jeers. Then somebody made the claim that John was actually on vacation. Yeah, right! Vacation. What knucklehead – especially a team manager – would schedule a vacation during the last week of the season and miss the picnic? 167. Senior Softball Snippet: Quotes from the “MCSSL Legends of the Game”… We’ve got another “Snippet Headliner” to add to our senior repertoire. This one comes from Tom Musselman, legendary prevaricator for the “mal-adjusted” Mustangs, commenting on being called safe after tagging up when one of the Midnights tried to throw him out at home plate … “A stone coming from his throwing arm couldn’t even break wind.” 168.
