Of that total, a Ball or Strike should result 73 times while in the remaining 144 Just finished games through May 2 in both ALand NL for 1926. "The CMBA System" (sounds like the old times something else happens. And that something else is either a hit or an error or both over half the time with an shortstop for the Boston Braves) works well and now that average fielding team and it's even more with a poor I'm used to it, goes fairly smoothly. Two questions: Has anyone done a large sampling of hits taken away by good fielding team. That, by the way, is one of the contributing factors to the Master Game generally producing more pitchers per game? In my small sampling (30 games or so) it's between five and six a game. And has anybody offense than the Basic Game. With regard to the AJ Scouting Bureau's Re/ding Sur­ worked out a realistic pitcher fatigue system to work with CMBA?

    Roy Sievers “A Hero may die, but his memory lives on” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By BILL HASS I had missed it in the sports section and on the internet. A friend of my mentioned it to me and sent me a link to the story. On April 3 – ironically, right at the start of the 2017 baseball season – Roy Sievers died at age 90. I felt a pang of deep sadness. After all, no matter how old you get, the little kid in you expects your heroes to live for- ever. As the years passed and I didn’t see any kind of obitu- ary on Sievers, I thought perhaps he might actually do that. I knew better, of course. Sometimes reality has a way of intruding on your impossible dreams, and maybe it’s just as well. I have never been much for having heroes. Oh, there are plenty of people I have admired and some of them have done heroic things. But a hero is someone who stays constant, someone you root for no matter what, and people in sports lend themselves to that. Roy Sievers was a genuine hero for me, and, really, the only athlete I ever put in that category. Let me explain why. In the early 1950s, when I first became aware of baseball, my family lived in the northern Virginia suburbs of Wash- ington, D.C. I rooted for the Washington Senators (known to their fans as the “Nats”), to whom the adjective “downtrod- den” was constantly applied, if not invented. Prior to the 1954 season, the Nats obtained Sievers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, formerly the St.
