  • Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees
    Academic Forum 30 2012-13 Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction Seven years ago, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox. I did similar research on additional teams and decided to publish four of those this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. The Nationals The Montreal Expos, along with the San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots debuted in 1969, the year that the major leagues introduced division play. The Pilots lasted a single year before becoming the Milwaukee Brewers. The Royals had a good deal of success, but then George Brett retired. Not much has gone well at Kauffman Stadium since. The Padres have been little noticed except for their horrid brown and mustard uniforms. They make up for it a little with their military tribute camouflage uniforms but otherwise carry on with little notice from anyone outside southern California.

  • '72 Rewind: a New Murderers' Row?
    '72 Rewind: A New Murderers' Row? (The Chicago Baseball Museum will pay tribute to Dick Allen and the 1972 White Sox in a June 25 fundraiser at U.S. Cellular Field. We will chronicle the events of that epic season here in the weeks ahead. Sport magazine published this story in its August, 1972 edition.) By George Vass Posted on Monday, May 28 In Chuck Tanner's mind there is no question that he has a new “Murderer's Row” in the making in his White Sox. “I'm already convinced that this is the most power- ful hitting team the Sox have had in their history,” said Manager Tanner, “although I don't know if you could call it a 'Murderers' Row' in the old sense. “But potentially it is a 'Murderers' Row' of a differ- ent kind. What I mean by that is that while we have great home run power we also have a balance of fine line-drive hitters, men like Pat Kelly. We have both power and .300 hitting in good balance in our line-up. Allen, Melton and May form one of “When the phrase Murderers' Row is used it brings baseball's potent power trios. to mind the kind of teams in the past that had great home run power, but not necessarily the line-drive hitting, the balance of speed and power that we have.” As the Sox amply demonstrated by their early foot this season, led by the bombardment of Bill Melton, Dick Allen, Carlos May, Ed Herrmann, and Ken Henderson, they have the kind of power attributed to legendary clubs of the past.

    WOOSTER HIGH SCHOOL HONORS ENGLISH II SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT Welcome to Honors English II. Honors English II is an intensive course for the serious, mature, and capable student that builds upon the language skills learned in previous grades by providing instruction and practice in various areas of the English curriculum: grammar, study skills, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and oral communication. Summer Reading Rationale Summer reading helps students to: • Improve vocabulary and other language skills • Maintain reading skills over summer break • Develop fluency and independent reading skills • Become lifelong readers You have two (2) reading assignments to complete over the summer. One, you must complete the reading of Mitch Albom’s book Tuesdays With Morrie and, two, you must read one other book of your choosing from the attached list that contains one of the themes you will find in To Kill A Mockingbird (a book we will read in class when you return). You will be expected to annotate the books since you will be using the information you gather to write an essay about both books when you return to school in the fall. Since you are expected to take notes in the books, you are encouraged to buy your own copies, though you may use post-it notes for the annotating if you wish. You should carefully notice the following elements as you read and use them for the basis of your annotating: character, settings, conflicts, themes, plot development, and literary techniques. Complete this entire process for both books, as well as the starred steps for Morrie. GUIDELINES FOR TAKING NOTES DURING YOUR READING: Required INSIDE FRONT COVER: Character list with small space for character summary and for page references for key scenes, moments of character development, etc.

  • Article Title
    General Admission Consecutive Games Played by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research On September 6, 1995, Cal Ripken, Jr. broke Lou Gehrig’s 56-year old consecutive game streak as the Baltimore Orioles beat the California Angels, 4 – 2, before a sellout crowd of 46,272 in Camden Yards. His streak began on May 30, 1982 and would eventually end at the end of the 1998 season with an incredible 2,632 consecutive games. Baltimore’s non-stop shortstop played his final game on October 6, 2001 against the Boston Red Sox before a crowd of 48,807 fans including former President Clinton and Commissioner Bud Selig. Unfortunately, Ripken went 0-for-3 as the Orioles lost to the Red Sox, 5 – 1. What I find truly remarkable is that Ripken’s consecutive game streak means that he played 87.5% of his career – roughly 17-1/2 years out of 20 years – without missing a single game. Can you even imagine not missing a single day of work in 17-1/2 years? This led me to review the other ironmen who had posted significant consecutive game streaks, beginning with Lou Gehrig. Gehrig’s consecutive game streak began on June 1, 1925 as Gehrig replaced Yankee first baseman Wally Pipp in the lineup. It would end 2,130 games later on May 2, 1939. Oddly enough, Wally Pipp was in the stands, having traveled from his home in Grand Rapids to watch the Yankees and the Tigers play in Detroit. What he saw was Yankee captain Gehrig presenting the lineup card to the home plate umpire with his name removed for the first time in fifteen years.

  • 1921 NY Yankees
    1921 NEW YORK YANKEES By Alan Raylesberg The 1921 New York Yankees are the team that started it all. As the most successful franchise in baseball history, the Yankees (as of 2020) have won 27 World Series championships, 40 American League pennants, and 18 American League East titles.1 When Babe Ruth joined them in 1920, the Yankees had never won the pennant. Led by Ruth, that changed in 1921 as the Yankees won their first pennant, before losing to the New York Giants in the World Series. The Yankees would go on to win six pennants and three World Series during the decade as their dynasty began. The Yankees were one of eight teams when the American League began in 1901. Originally, they played in Baltimore and were known as the Orioles (no relation to the current Baltimore Orioles). In 1903 the team was sold and moved to New York City, where they played at Hilltop Park as the Highlanders. In 1913 they moved to the Polo Grounds as tenants of the New York Giants and were renamed the Yankees.2 The early versions of the Highlanders and Yankees did not meet with much success, never finishing higher than second in the American League. Everything changed in the winter of 1919 when the Boston Red Sox sold Ruth to the Yankees for $100,000. In 1920, his first season with the Yankees, Ruth shattered his own major-league record by belting 54 home runs3 as the Yankees finished third, three games behind the pennant- winning Cleveland Indians.4 In 1921 the Yankees finished first, ahead of the Indians, as the 26-year-old Ruth broke his own single-season home-run record yet again, hitting 59.5 After trailing Cleveland by a small margin for most of the season, the Yankees took three of four from the Indians in late September and won the pennant with a club record 98 wins.
