  • Productivity in Baseball: How Babe Ruth Beats the Benchmark
    Productivity in Baseball: How Babe Ruth Beats the Benchmark The Journal of SPORT, 2019 © Kent State University Productivity in Baseball: How Babe Ruth Beats the Benchmark Peter A. Groothuis Appalachian State University Kurt W. Rotthoff Seton Hall University Mark C. Strazicich Appalachian State University 1 Groothius, Rothoff, Strazicich Abstract Many statistics are used to measure the productivity of hitters in Major League Baseball, such as the number of home runs and the number of runs batted in a season. However, comparing the talent of individual players across time is difficult as rules and technologies change. In this paper, we propose applying a practice commonly utilized in the finance literature to compare the performance of individual stocks and other assets, namely, we “benchmark” the productivity of each player’s performance to players in the same time period. Applying our benchmarking strategy to annual Major League Baseball data from 1871-2010, we find that Babe Ruth is the greatest hitter of all time. Introduction Productivity for the national economy is typically measured as total output (real GDP) divided by the total hours of labor employed for a given period of time. This number provides a measure of productivity for the average worker and time series on this measure are available for many years. Using this measure, we can compare the productivity of the average worker in 2010, for example, with that of the average worker in 1929. Of course, we expect that the productivity of the average worker in 2010 will be higher than in 1929 due to innovations in technology and greater physical and human capital per worker.

  • Constructing Baseball: Boston and the First World Series
    CONSTRUCTING BASEBALL: BOSTON AND THE FIRST WORLD SERIES Roger L Abrams* Societal cohesiveness is a condition precedent to the legitimacy of legal rules. Shared norms of behavior are learned characteristics. Perhaps in some small measure, the shared experience of baseball among millions of immigrants facilitated the emergence of a consensus within society that supported a common set of understandings. Even if it did not, it was still a "swell time" for those Americans-new and old-who witnessed the first World Series, a vital step in constructing the National Pastime. INTRODUCTION The 1903 World Series marked the first post-season tournament between the pennant winners of the National and American Leagues of baseball. After two years of bitter commercial warfare and a peace treaty signed before the 1903 season, the two major circuits of baseball clubs were ready for combat once again, this time on the field and not in the board offices. At the time, no one appreciated that this post-season event would be repeated annually-with but two interruptions- for a century. Outside of the cities of the two competitors, Boston and Pittsburgh, few took much notice. However, in those cities baseball fanatics were enthralled by the spectacle. The newspapers devoted banner headlines and multiple columns of print to the unfolding events on the diamond. They also focused on the crowds of spectators. Political, civic and business leaders * Dean and Richardson Professor of Law, Northeastern University School of Law. This paper is an excerpt from a work in progress, THE FIRST WORLD SERIES AND THE BASEBALL FANATICS OF 1903, to be published by Northeastern University Press in 2003.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, April 8, 2020 * The Boston Globe Chris Sale sounds like a relieved pitcher Peter Abraham The 25-minute conference call conducted with Chris Sale on Tuesday was interrupted several times by screeching feedback or people talking loudly in the background. Mute your phone, folks. We’re all working from home now. But what did come through, loud and clear, was the tone in Sale’s voice as he discussed having Tommy John surgery last month. It was one of relief. Since he first injured his elbow last season, the Red Sox lefthander has wondered how long his arm would hold up. Now he finally has a set path for what comes next. Teammate Nate Eovaldi, who had Tommy John surgery as a junior in high school and again in 2016, advised Sale to face his rehabilitation work in two-week bites and not think too far ahead. Eovaldi averaged 97.5 miles per hour with his fastball last season. Jacob deGrom, Stephen Strasburg, and Adam Wainwright all had the surgery and came back to be All-Stars. The scar on Sale’s elbow is a map. Do the work, get to the end, and you’ll be able to pitch again. If Sale devotes himself, he could be ready closer to the start of next season as opposed to June. He’ll be 32 then. “This is all I have to do for the next year. I can do this with 100 percent of my focus,” Sale said. “Much like pitching, I can make this competitive … The one thing I heard more than anything is the rehab process.
