  • 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).

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Stealing Signs: Is Professional Baseball's United States-Japanese Player Contract Agreement Enough to Avoid Another "Baseball War"? Casey Duncan* INTRODUCTION In 1998 U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) entered into an agreement with Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) league governing the transaction of non-free agent players be- tween the two leagues. This United States-Japanese Player Contract Agreement, also known as "The Posting System Agreement" (Posting System) is designed to regulate such inter- national player transactions and to protect the interests of both leagues. While the Posting System has had some initial success, recent developments make its long-term success as a solution suspect. It is the purpose of this note to examine critically the Posting System in light of these developments, and to suggest possible changes to better effectuate its goals and protect the in- terests of both leagues and their players.
