Indians Catch Spring Fever on Truck Day by Jordan Bastian / MLB.Com | @Mlbastian | February 5Th, 2016 CLEVELAND -- a Pair of Mo Indians catch spring fever on Truck Day By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | February 5th, 2016 CLEVELAND -- A pair of moving trucks pulled out of Progressive Field on Friday morning, beginning the annual cross-country journey from Cleveland to Goodyear, Ariz. There is no word yet whether the trucks saw their shadows, but spring is definitely arriving fast for the Indians. "I don't know what they're talking about with this Punxsutawney Phil," quipped Marty Bokovitz, the Indians' assistant home clubhouse manager. "This is the first day of spring right here, isn't it? When the trucks roll out, everybody gets excited. Spring is starting. Baseball's back. It should be a holiday." Each year, Truck Day signals that the offseason is nearly over. The two 53-foot trucks will roll through enemy territory across the Midwest with large Indians decals covering the sides of one of the trailers. Ed Fisher, who has been driving one of the trucks for the Tribe for the past nine years, said the artwork that was placed on the truck last year led to some fanfare during his 2,000-mile drive through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. "I've had a few people honk their horns and wave and take pictures," Fisher said with a smile. Fisher will haul the lead truck once again this year, pushing through 11-hour days along Interstate 40 with a handful of stops. Barring any obstacles with the weather, he typically takes breaks near the Illinois border, and then in Joplin, Mo., and Amarillo, Texas, before completing the final leg into the Phoenix area. If everything goes according to plan, the trucks should arrive at Cleveland's spring headquarters on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Come Wednesday, workers at the team's Arizona complex will swiftly unload the trucks to prep the clubhouse and facilities for the preseason. Indians pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to Spring Training on Feb. 17, with position players following suit on Feb. 21. That said, many players already have headed to Arizona to get an early jump on their training. "This is like taking 65 kids on a two-month vacation," Bokovitz joked. "Do you have your shoes? Do you have your shorts?" Bokovitz said there are roughly a dozen shrink-wrapped racks filled with Spring Training clothes (shorts, shirts, etc.) that are wrapped and ready to be dropped in each player's locker. Each year, the Indians order around 18,000 baseballs and 600 bats, but most of those items are shipped directly to Arizona. The trucks are filled with bikes, golf clubs, workout equipment, pallets of bottled water, sunflower seeds and even stadium mustard. "You've got to have that," Bokovitz said of the condiment. As workers filled the trucks on Friday morning, the scooter belonging to Indians manager Terry Francona sat off to the side. A black scooter has replaced the red one that Francona used in previous years. The manager zips through downtown Cleveland on the small vehicle and usually has it brought to Arizona as well. Truck Day has been weeks in the making for Bokovitz and the rest of the Indians' clubhouse staff. "We usually start this process the last couple weeks of December," Bokovitz said. "It takes us a good month. Every day, something else comes up, or there's some hurdle we have to overcome. We get after it for the full month." As it happened, track hurdles -- with the phrase "Tribe Strong" along the top beam -- were loaded on the trucks. Fisher spends roughly 300 nights a year on the road. He said this is the day he looks forward to the most. "It's the best job that I do all year," Fisher said. "I enjoy it more than anything else I've done, and this is my ninth year doing it. I really enjoy it. I just lucked into it by happenstance the last year they were in Winter Haven [Florida]. They liked my work, I guess. "They keep asking for me, so I keep coming back. I enjoy it, and I haven't screwed anything up, yet." Lindor eager for sophomore season with Tribe By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | February 4th, 2016 CLEVELAND -- It was unseasonably warm when a large group of Indians players convened last week for Tribe Fest. Around Northeast Ohio, snow shovels gathered dust, heavy jackets were ditched and fans could daydream a little about the upcoming season. Francisco Lindor also was dreaming of returning to a baseball diamond, and soon, because the Cleveland air still had a little too much bite for his liking. The young shortstop was born in Puerto Rico, resides in Florida and now spends his springs in Arizona. While wearing a knit cap, Lindor was cleary ready to get this season started. "Cold. Cold, man," quipped Lindor, when asked how Cleveland was treating him. "I like it. I just don't like the cold weather." Soon enough, Lindor will be back on the sun-splashed practice fields at the Tribe's spring headquarters in Goodyear, Ariz. Then, before too long, the shortstop will be experiencing his first Opening Day in the big leagues. Lindor stormed onto baseball's stage last summer, seizing the starting job and looking like the kind of player a franchise can build around. Lindor always has had lofty expectations hovering over his head -- the kind that go along with being a first-round Draft pick. Now, though, the shortstop is coming off a runner-up finish in voting for the American League Rookie of the Year Award and will be looking to build on Major League statistics that were even better than his showing on the farm. MLB Network went as far as ranking Lindor as the best shortstop in the Majors in the station's "Top 10 Right Now" series. "My work is not done," Lindor said. "At the end of the day, I can be the number one shortstop on paper, but if I don't perform, it doesn't mean anything. Just because I'm Number One on paper, it doesn't mean anything to me. I've got to continue to do my work, to continue to work as hard as I can day in and day out." Lindor, who turned 22 in November, was not only one of the best rookies in the AL last year. He was one of the best all-around shortstops in baseball. Lindor accumulated a 4.6 WAR (per Frangraphs.com) in his 99 games, marking the most among all AL shortstops and second in the Majors to only San Francisco's Brandon Crawford. Lindor's 10 Defensive Runs Saved were the most among all AL shortstops and first in the Majors at his position with fewer than 1,000 innings logged in the field. His 18.9 UZR/150 was the best defensive rating among Major League shortstops with at least 800 innings. "You saw the obvious things," manager Terry Francona said. "He's a really talented player on both sides of the ball. And he's a really good kid. He's got a lot of leadership qualities that will emerge as he gains experience. I appreciate the fact that as a 21-year-old, you make some mistakes. But, when he did, he'd listen and look at you in the eye and he'd try to not do it again. That's a good quality." Overall, Lindor hit .313 with a .353 on-base percentage and a .482 slugging percentage last season. The switch-hitter showed off some power with 12 home runs, mixing in 22 doubles, four triples, 51 RBIs, 50 runs, 27 walks, 12 steals and 122 hits. He became one of only nine rookies age 21 or younger to have at least 10 homers, 10 steals and 100 hits within the past 20 years. Lindor reached 100 career hits faster than any Indians hitter since 1947 and did so in one season faster than any rookie in franchise history since 1936. As Lindor prepares for his sophomore season, his teammates know he likely will encounter obstacles as he navigates through a full Major League campaign for the first time. All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis said it will be important to help guide Lindor through the peaks and valleys. Kipnis is expecting big things from his double-play partner. "He's going to be great," Kipnis said. "I'm excited to see how he matures right in front of us. Everyone can smile when you're hitting .400 for half a season. Trust me, it's the greatest feeling in the world. It's going to be how he handles that first slump, how he handles that first challenge where things might not be feeling great or his body might not be feeling good. "That's where guys like me and [Michael] Brantley will come in and kind of help him out or pick him back up, but you know he's only going to help us in the long run, so we're excited to have him up here from Day One." Lindor said he only has one goal in mind. "I want to see myself as a winner. I want to play the last game of the playoffs," Lindor said. "I want to talk to you guys and be like, 'We won.' That's all I want. I always wanted to win and, ultimately, when I come home and I tell my Dad, 'I won a World Series.' That's, to me, that's it.

  • Goln' to the DOGS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 6 (1998) GOlN’ TO THE DOGS By Paul M. Bennett They're off and running excitedly and enthusiastically chasing that elusive rabbit. The long since departed and all but forgotten, All-America Football Conference was a professional football league that had "gone to the dogs." Literally! Some football fans, such as those dour National Football League diehards (you know who you are), would say that "going to the dogs" definitely had described the AAFC's level of play during the league's all too brief, four-year tenure as a fiery competitor to the established pro league. Their argument was further reinforced after the league finally called it quits following the end of the 1949 season, when three of its teams (Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts) were absorbed, or merged (if one is kind), into the NFL commencing with the 1950 season. AAFC fans would simply say "pooh" to those NFL naysayers. What did they know? Haughtiness and arrogance seemed to have been their credo. Conservative to a fault. A new idea must be a bad idea! The eight-team AAFC had played football at a level that was both entertaining to the viewing public and similar in quality to that of the older, ten-team league. The only problem the AAFC seemed to have had was its overall lack of depth, talent-wise, and, more importantly, its lack of adequate team competition. The AAFC's chief asset had been the powerful and innovative Cleveland Browns, arguably one of professional football's most dominant franchises.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more full-time years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and eld, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.

  • 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

  • Forty Years Later: Where the '72 White Sox Are Now
    Forty Years Later: Where The '72 White Sox Are Now By Mark Liptak and Paul Ladewski Posted on Friday, May 17 Forty years have passed since the 1972 White Sox team breathed new life into the franchise in one memorable season. Here's where the core players have been since then and where they are now: Cy Acosta, pitcher. The reliever spent three of his four major league seasons in a White Sox uniform. In 1973, his 18 saves ranked fifth in the league. The same year he became the first American League pitcher to bat in the designated hitter era. The 65- year-old resides in Mexico. Dick Allen, first base. He was the runaway winner in the 1972 American League Most Valuable Player vote, as he had career-highs in RBI (113), bases on balls (99) and on-base percentage (.420). The career .292 hitter played for five teams in15 seasons, after which he served as an advisor and instructor for several years. Now 70 years old, he resides in western Pennsylvania. Luis Alvarado, shortstop. In 1972, the Puerto Rican utilityman took part in a career-high 102 games. Two years earlier, the former International League Most Valuable Player was acquired in the trade that sent shortstop Luis Aparicio to the Boston Red Sox. Died at age 52 on March 20, 2001. Mike Andrews, second base. Also a part of the Aparicio trade, he started 143 games in the 1972 season, his last as an everyday player. One year later, he became the first DH in franchise history.
