    Strike Out: a Pirates Pitcher at the Battle of Homestead Zachary L

    Strike Out: A Pirates Pitcher at the Battle of Homestead Zachary L. Brodt Extensive study has been done on the circumstances and events surrounding the 1892 Homestead Steel Strike. Ten men were killed and dozens wounded when agents of the Pinkerton Detective Agency hired by Henry Clay Frick attempted to land two barges on the grounds of the Homestead Steel Works to protect it from striking workers that were locked out of the mill. In the aftermath over 160 people were charged with crimes and Frick was the target of an assassination attempt by Alexander Berkman, an anarchist unaffiliated with the initial struggle. Amid the chaos on the banks of the Monongahela River and one of the many arrested in the wake of the labor dispute was an unlikely man: Pittsburg Baseball Club pitcher Mark Baldwin.1 A Homestead native, Baldwin was notorious for his fastball, wild pitches, and a penchant for getting into trouble, but his presence in the steel mill during one of the bloodiest conflicts of the American Labor Movement was a far cry from his usual alcohol-fueled antics. Something stronger than drink, namely a sense of community and solidarity, likely motived Baldwin to trespass onto the grounds of Andrew Carnegie’s property, thus providing one of the more bizarre storylines affiliated with the newly monikered “Pirates” franchise. Conflict in the Mill The Homestead Steel Works was two years old when Carnegie and his associates purchased the plant in 1883 with the intention of increasing their company’s production. The Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers had organized the mill prior to its acquisition by Carnegie, Phipps and Co.

    Detrending Career Statistics in Professional Baseball: Accounting

    Methods for detrending success metrics to account for inflationary and deflationary factors Alexander M. Petersen∗,1 Orion Penner,2 and H. Eugene Stanley1 1Center for Polymer Studies and Department of Physics, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA 2Complexity Science Group, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4, Canada (Dated: March 17, 2011) There is a long standing debate over how to objectively compare the career achievements of professional athletes from different historical eras. Developing an objective approach will be of particular importance over the next decade as Major League Baseball (MLB) players from the “steroids era” become eligible for Hall of Fame induction. Some experts are calling for asterisks (*) to be placed next to the career statistics of athletes found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs (PED). Here we address this issue, as well as the general problem of comparing statistics from distinct eras, by detrending the seasonal statistics of professional baseball players. We detrend player statistics by normalizing achievements to seasonal averages, which accounts for changes in relative player ability resulting from both exogenous and endogenous factors, such as talent dilution from expansion, equipment and training improvements, as well as PED. In this paper we compare the probability density function (pdf) of detrended career statistics to the pdf of raw career statistics for five statistical categories — hits (H), home runs (HR), runs batted in (RBI), wins (W) and strikeouts (K) — over the 90-year period 1920-2009. We find that the functional form of these pdfs are stationary under detrending. This stationarity implies that the statistical regularity observed in the right-skewed distributions for longevity and success in professional baseball arises from both the wide range of intrinsic talent among athletes and the underlying nature of competition.

Time-dependent economic, technological, and social factors can artificially inflate or deflate quantitative measures for career success. Here we develop and test a statistical method for normalizing career success metrics across time dependent factors. In particular, this method addresses the long standing question: how do we compare the career achievements of professional athletes from different historical eras? Developing an objective approach will be of particular importance over the next decade as major league baseball (MLB) players from the “steroids era” become eligible for Hall of Fame induction. Some experts are calling for asterisks (*) to be placed next to the career statistics of athletes found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs (PED). Here we address this issue, as well as the general problem of comparing statistics from distinct eras, by detrending the seasonal statistics of professional baseball players. We detrend player statistics by normalizing achievements to seasonal averages, which accounts for changes in relative player ability resulting from a range of factors.
