No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER 1 Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed King Arthur’s quest for it in the Middle Ages became a large part of his legend. Monty Python and Indiana Jones launched their searches in popular 1974 and 1989 movies. The mythic quest for the Holy Grail, the name given in Western tradition to the chal- ice used by Jesus Christ at his Passover meal the night before his death, is now often a metaphor for a quintessential search. In the illustrious history of baseball, the “holy grail” is a ranking of each player’s overall value on the baseball diamond. Because player skills are multifaceted, it is not clear that such a ranking is possible. In comparing two players, you see that one hits home runs much better, whereas the other gets on base more often, is faster on the base paths, and is a better fielder. So which player should rank higher? In Baseball’s All-Time Best Hitters, I identified which players were best at getting a hit in a given at-bat, calling them the best hitters. Many reviewers either disapproved of or failed to note my definition of “best hitter.” Although frequently used in base- ball writings, the terms “good hitter” or best hitter are rarely defined. In a July 1997 Sports Illustrated article, Tom Verducci called Tony Gwynn “the best hitter since Ted Williams” while considering only batting average.

    DESTINATION DRIVE to LOUISVILLE SLUGGER MUSEUM https://www.sluggermuseum.com/ Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is all about celebrating the extraordinary role of Louisville Slugger in baseball’s past, present and future. We’re here to delight our guests and create joyful, lifetime memories. Baseball connects generations, we see it here every day. Since the sport is such a big part of American history and culture, even visitors who don’t consider themselves big fans find something here that resonates with them. Maybe it’s the fun stories and fascinating machinery in the factory, or the hands-on exhibits, or one of our special exhibitions that broaden the interpretation of baseball. And, really, who doesn’t love a free mini-bat? History In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Germany to Baltimore, Maryland. They moved to Louisville in 1856, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in business and filled orders for everything from spindles to shutters to steamboat interiors. The eldest son, John Andrew "Bud" Hillerich, was born in Louisville in 1866. The business thrived and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880, Bud, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud also played amateur baseball and made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates. There is debate over the origins of the carpentry shop’s first bat for a professional player, but Bud most certainly played the key role in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item.

    Read the selection and choose the best answer to each question. Then fill in the answer on your answer document. The Making of a Baseball Bat 1 For baseball fans, there’s nothing quite like the crack of a wood baseball bat when it makes contact with a baseball. Although many schools and leagues use metal bats, players in the major leagues have always been required to use wood bats. These bats are made for each player, often with specific features requested by the players themselves. The Birth of a Legend 2 One of the most famous baseball-bat makers is Hillerich & Bradsby Company. The idea for the company’s famous baseball bat, the Louisville Slugger, was born in 1884 when John “Bud” Hillerich took a break from working at his father’s woodworking shop in Louisville, Kentucky, to watch a local baseball game. One of the players, Pete Browning, was so frustrated when he couldn’t hit the ball that he broke his bat. Hillerich offered to make Browning a new bat. The two went to the woodworking shop, where Browning told Hillerich exactly what kind of bat he wanted. After Browning got three hits the first day he used his new bat, other baseball players began asking Hillerich to make bats for them, too. 3 There was just one problem. Hillerich’s father was not interested in making bats. At first, he refused to make bats for baseball players, preferring to continue making products such as stair rails and butter churns. Hillerich finally convinced his father that making bats would be good for the shop, and a new business was born.
