  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Baseball Statistics in the Steroids Era
    BASEBALL STATISTICS IN THE STEROIDS ERA _________________________ By John Dechant _________________________ A THESIS Submitted to the faculty of the Graduate School of the Creighton University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of the Arts in the Department of Liberal Studies. _________________________ OMAHA, NEBRASKA JUNE 27, 2008 iii Abstract This thesis examines the presence of steroids and performance enhancing substances in Major League Baseball from approximately 1988 to 2008. This period, informally known as the “steroids era,” has been the source of great controversy in recent years as more and more information on the matter has been disclosed to the public. In particular, this discussion focuses on the records and statistics of this era. In addition to the players who achieved these statistics, these numbers should be under great scrutiny as their validity is questioned.

FALL OF THE ROCKET: STEROIDS IN BASEBALL AND THE CASE AGAINST ROGER CLEMENS DANIEL HEALEY* INTRODUCTION - THE ROCKET ON THE HILL Athletes who are chemically propelled to victory do not merely overvalue winning, they misunderstand why winning is properly valued .... Drugs that make sport exotic, by radical intrusions into the body, drain sport of its exemplary power by making it a display of chemistry rather than character. In fact, it becomes a display of some chemists' virtuosity and some athletes' bad character. - George F. Will1 On February 13, 2008, Roger Clemens (Clemens) traveled to Capitol Hill to clear his name. A seven-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, and Houston Astros, "the Rocket" had come to the end of his career, but only the beginning of his legal and media troubles. In December 2007, Clemens's trainer, Brian McNamee (McNamee), had implicated his former employer as a steroids user in the "Mitchell Report," the definitive account of the proliferation of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in Major League Baseball (MLB).2 After facing two months of intense media scrutiny, Clemens traveled to the Hill to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (the "Committee") that he had never used PEDs.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: INTEGRATING
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: INTEGRATING STATISTICS AND VISUALIZATION TO IMPROVE EXPLORATORY SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS. Adam Perer, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Professor Ben Shneiderman, Department of Computer Science Social network analysis is emerging as a key technique to understanding social, cultural and economic phenomena. However, social network analysis is inherently complex since analysts must understand every individual’s attributes as well as relationships between individuals. There are many statistical algorithms which reveal nodes that occupy key social positions and form cohesive social groups. However, it is difficult to find outliers and patterns in strictly quantitative output. In these situations, information visualizations can enable users to make sense of their data, but typical network visualizations are often hard to interpret because of overlapping nodes and tangled edges. My first contribution improves the process of exploratory social network analysis. I have designed and implemented a novel social network analysis tool, SocialAction (http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/socialaction), that integrates both statistics and visualizations to enable users to quickly derive the benefits of both. Statistics are used to detect important individuals, relationships, and clusters. Instead of tabular display of numbers, the results are integrated with a network visualization in which users can easily and dynamically filter nodes and edges. The visualizations simplify the statistical results, facilitating sensemaking and discovery of features such as distributions, patterns, trends, gaps and outliers. The statistics simplify the comprehension of a sometimes chaotic visualization, allowing users to focus on statistically significant nodes and edges. SocialAction was also designed to help analysts explore non-social networks, such as citation, communication, financial and biological networks.

Gould and Todd R. Kaplan¤ August 3, 2010 Abstract This paper examines the issue of whether workers learn productive skills from their co-workers, even if those skills are unethical. Speci…cally, we estimate whether Jose Canseco, a star baseball player in the late 1980’s and 1990’s, a¤ected the per- formance of his teammates by introducing them to steroids. Using panel data, we show that a player’s performance increases signi…cantly after they played with Jose Canseco. After checking 30 comparable players from the same era, we …nd that no other baseball player produced a similar e¤ect. Furthermore, the positive e¤ect of Canseco disappears after 2003, the year that drug testing was implemented. These results suggest that workers not only learn productive skills from their co-workers, but sometimes those skills may derive from unethical practices. These …ndings may be relevant to many workplaces where competitive pressures create incentives to adopt unethical means to boost productivity and pro…ts. Our analysis leads to several potential policy implications designed to reduce the spread of unethical behavior among workers.
