I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Detrending Career Statistics in Professional Baseball: Accounting
    Methods for detrending success metrics to account for inflationary and deflationary factors Alexander M. Petersen∗,1 Orion Penner,2 and H. Eugene Stanley1 1Center for Polymer Studies and Department of Physics, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA 2Complexity Science Group, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4, Canada (Dated: March 17, 2011) There is a long standing debate over how to objectively compare the career achievements of professional athletes from different historical eras. Developing an objective approach will be of particular importance over the next decade as Major League Baseball (MLB) players from the “steroids era” become eligible for Hall of Fame induction. Some experts are calling for asterisks (*) to be placed next to the career statistics of athletes found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs (PED). Here we address this issue, as well as the general problem of comparing statistics from distinct eras, by detrending the seasonal statistics of professional baseball players. We detrend player statistics by normalizing achievements to seasonal averages, which accounts for changes in relative player ability resulting from both exogenous and endogenous factors, such as talent dilution from expansion, equipment and training improvements, as well as PED. In this paper we compare the probability density function (pdf) of detrended career statistics to the pdf of raw career statistics for five statistical categories — hits (H), home runs (HR), runs batted in (RBI), wins (W) and strikeouts (K) — over the 90-year period 1920-2009. We find that the functional form of these pdfs are stationary under detrending. This stationarity implies that the statistical regularity observed in the right-skewed distributions for longevity and success in professional baseball arises from both the wide range of intrinsic talent among athletes and the underlying nature of competition.

  • October 7, 1905 Home Run King St
    October 7, 1905 Home Run King St. Louis, Missouri Cincinnati Reds at St. Louis Cardinals In a 6-3 win over St. Louis Robison Field, St. Louis, Missouri in the second game of a doubleheader, Cincinnati Reds outfielder Fred Odwell hits his ninth, and final, home run of the season making the 32-year-old the National League’s home run champion, edging out teammate Cy Seymour by one round-tripper. For Odwell (right), the home run against Cardinals’ right-hander Buster Brown on the second-to-last day of the regular season will be the last one of his major league career ... playing two more years, the Downsville, New York, native will complete a four-year major league career with 10 home runs and 168 RBIs. Des Moines, Iowa On the same day that Odwell goes “yard”, Des Moines catcher Charles Dexter stabs Milwaukee first baseman Quait Bateman over a disagreement of who should pay a taxi fare following a night of admitted heavy drinking … longtime friends, Dexter, a for- mer major leaguer, and Bateman are quarrelling about who should pay for cab fare when Bate- man calls Dexter a “vile” name … Dexter reacts by drawing a long knife and slashing Bate- man across the chest, cutting his friend to the bone ... newspapers report that Bateman’s condition is “serious” and that he is not expected to survive. The 28-year-old Bateman, who had been sold to the Cleveland Indi- ans after hitting .313 for the Brewers, survives the attack and refuses to press charges against Dexter, however the Melissa, Texas, native is never the same player ..
