  • Fred Worth Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics
    The Worst Hitters in Baseball History by Fred Worth Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics Abstract In this paper we are going to look at several metrics for determining the worst hitter in major league baseball history. Introduction Books have been written trying to determine who have been the best hitters in baseball history. In this paper, we are going to consider the opposite end of the baseball talent spectrum. We are going to look at the worst hitters in baseball history. But first, a disclaimer. Disclaimer There have been some people who have played major league baseball who had no business doing so. Eddie Gaedel, for instance, had no business wearing a major league uniform. In the early years of major league ball, teams often did not have very large rosters. Sometimes on a road trip they would even leave some of their players home. Then, if a player was hurt, they would be short-handed. To fix that, they might ask the crowd, "who wants to play?" They might get someone who can play. But sometimes they got someone who had no business walking on a baseball field. In more recent years, however, if a man makes it to the major leagues, he is NOT a bad hitter. Such things are relative. He may be the worst hitter in the league but the league is made up of the best baseball players in the world. So, with the exception of Gaedel, and maybe one or two other flukes, when I say "worst hitters," I realize I am describing men who are far better than I ever was.

  • Gunnison Obituaries
    FOREWORD The Gunnison News-Champion printed many articles between 1935 and 1945 of historical interest in Gunnison County. This work is a transcription of many of these articles. The material has been divided into 3 sections: 1. People. This includes recollections by individual pioneers, stories about pioneers by others and obituaries. 2. Pioneer organizations and meetings with lists of those who attended. Under this heading is included a section of Gunnison County reunions in Denver and California with a roster, including addresses, of those present. Western State College alumni often held meetings at the same time. 3. Articles of early history of the area including towns, explorers, Indians, mines and quarries, smelters, ranches and railroads. The story of White Pine of 1883-1885 in the last 65 pages as told by George A. Root, editor of the White Pine Cone, is almost a diary of the town. Mr. Root includes stories of mining activities, parties, births and deaths, new supplies arriving on pack trains, elections, baseball games, tragic accidents and Christmas celebrations showing the day to day life in an early mining town. A complete index of all the people mentioned in this book is included. TABLE OF CONTENTS PEOPLE Charles Adams 1 Clarence Adams 6 John M. Allen 8 William D. Allen 10 Samuel T.
