2010 WORLD SERIES CONTINUES TO PILE UP PRIME TIME WINS FOR FOX Network Projected To Register 17.6 Million Viewers; Most In Nine Months New York, NY – Game 4 of the 2010 World Series earned an impressive 9.0/15 (15.5 million viewers) last night on FOX, according to fast national ratings provided by Nielsen Media Research. Last night’s 9.0/15 kept the network’s World Series win streak alive as FOX, for the fourth time in as many games, won the night in prime time for total viewers. Based on the fast national rating for Game 4, plus preliminary ratings for FOX’s NFL overrun, The OT and the Game 4 pre-game, the network projects to average 17.6 million viewers for the night topping all other network programming. It is expected to be FOX’s best Sunday night viewership since last January’s NFC Championship Game broadcast. Viewing of Game 4 opened at a strong 9.6/16 and later peaked at a 9.9/19 (17.1 million viewers) for the final outs of the game as the San Francisco Giants took a 3-1 series lead over the Texas Rangers. Through four games the 2010 World Series is averaging an 8.3/14 (14.1 million viewers), +2% better on rating than 2008’s 8.1/14 (13.0 million viewers), making FOX the most-watched network in prime time since the World Series began. Compared to last year’s World Series which featured the more nationally popular Yankees and Phillies, through Game 4 Giants-Rangers is down -28% compared to 2009’s11.6/19. The four-game average rating (8.3/14) and viewership (14.1 million viewers) rank the 2010 World Series as one of the 10 highest-rated and most-watched shows in prime time last week. Those averages are set to improve with tonight’s Game 5 exclusively on FOX at 7:30 PM ET from Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, TX. San Francisco led all markets for Game 4 with a 36.3/62 followed by Dallas who recorded a 31.5/50. --FOX SPORTS-- .

The Cubs Win the World Series!
Can’t-miss listening is Pat Hughes’ ‘The Cubs Win the World Series!’ CD By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, January 2, 2017 What better way for Pat Hughes to honor his own achievement by reminding listeners on his new CD he’s the first Cubs broadcaster to say the memorable words, “The Cubs win the World Series.” Hughes’ broadcast on 670-The Score was the only Chi- cago version, radio or TV, of the hyper-historic early hours of Nov. 3, 2016 in Cleveland. Radio was still in the Marconi experimental stage in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Baseball was not broadcast on radio until 1921. The five World Series the Cubs played in the radio era – 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938 and 1945 – would not have had classic announc- ers like Bob Elson claiming a Cubs victory. Given the unbroken drumbeat of championship fail- ure, there never has been a season tribute record or CD for Cubs radio calls. The “Great Moments in Cubs Pat Hughes was a one-man gang in History” record was produced in the off-season of producing and starring in “The Cubs 1970-71 by Jack Brickhouse and sidekick Jack Rosen- Win the World Series!” CD. berg. But without a World Series title, the commemo- ration featured highlights of the near-miss 1969-70 seasons, tapped the WGN archives for older calls and backtracked to re-creations of plays as far back as the 1930s.

Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks Honoring the 2010 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants July 25, 2011 The President. Well, hello, everybody. Have a seat, have a seat. This is a party. Welcome to the White House, and congratulations to the Giants on winning your first World Series title in 56 years. Give that a big round. I want to start by recognizing some very proud Giants fans in the house. We've got Mayor Ed Lee; Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom. We have quite a few Members of Congress—I am going to announce one; the Democratic Leader in the House, Nancy Pelosi is here. We've got Senator Dianne Feinstein who is here. And our newest Secretary of Defense and a big Giants fan, Leon Panetta is in the house. I also want to congratulate Bill Neukom and Larry Baer for building such an extraordinary franchise. I want to welcome obviously our very special guest, the "Say Hey Kid," Mr. Willie Mays is in the house. Now, 2 years ago, I invited Willie to ride with me on Air Force One on the way to the All-Star Game in St. Louis. It was an extraordinary trip. Very rarely when I'm on Air Force One am I the second most important guy on there. [Laughter] Everybody was just passing me by—"Can I get you something, Mr. Mays?" [Laughter] What's going on? Willie was also a 23-year-old outfielder the last time the Giants won the World Series, back when the team was in New York.

The Role of Skill Versus Luck in Poker: Evidence from the World Series of Poker Steven D. Levitt and Thomas J. Miles NBER Working Paper No. 17023 May 2011 JEL No. K23,K42 ABSTRACT In determining the legality of online poker – a multibillion dollar industry – courts have relied heavily on the issue of whether or not poker is a game of skill. Using newly available data, we analyze that question by examining the performance in the 2010 World Series of Poker of a group of poker players identified as being highly skilled prior to the start of the events. Those players identified a priori as being highly skilled achieved an average return on investment of over 30 percent, compared to a -15 percent for all other players.

Predicting Major League Baseball Championship Winners Through Data Mining
Athens Journal of Sports - Volume 3, Issue 4– Pages 239-252 Predicting Major League Baseball Championship Winners through Data Mining By Brandon Tolbert Theodore Trafalis† The world of sports is highly unpredictable. Fans of any sport are interested in predicting the outcomes of sporting events. Whether it is prediction based off of experience, a gut feeling, instinct, simulation based off of video games, or simple statistical measures, many fans develop their own approach to predicting the results of games. In many situations, these methods are not reliable and lack a fundamental basis. Even the experts are unsuccessful in most situations. In this paper we present a sports data mining approach to uncover hidden knowledge within the game of baseball. The goal is to develop a model using data mining methods that will predict American League champions, National League champions, and World Series winners at a higher success rate compared to traditional models. Our approach will analyze historical regular season data of playoff contenders by applying kernel machine learning schemes in an effort to uncover potentially useful information that helps predict future champions. Keywords: Baseball, Data Mining, Kernel machine learning, Prediction. Introduction The game of baseball is becoming more reliant on analytical and statistic based approaches to assemble competitive baseball teams. The most well-known application of statistics to baseball is captured in Michael Lewis’s book "Moneyball". Applying a simple statistical approach, Moneyball demonstrated that on-base percentage (OBP) and slugging percentage (SLG) are better indicators of offensive success than other standard statistics such as batting average, homeruns, and runs batted in (Lewis 2003).
