What to Bring to Practice Hat – Important to shade eyes from the sun Water – All players must stay hydrated. Shorts or athletic pants – unless Coach Lucas notifies players otherwise Baseball Mitt / Glove Bat – optional It is also a good idea to have a name written on hats, gloves, and water bottles. Communication with the Coach Coach Lucas is not able to check his personal email from work, nor is he able to check his work email from home. Additionally, he is not able to take his cell phone into his work location. To ensure any important messages get to Coach Lucas in a timely manner, it is best to send the message to his wife, Michaela Lucas, on her cell phone at [email protected] or (402) 203-8894. She will relay the information to him much faster. Note two new email addresses for Coach Jayson this year: Coach Jayson’s Work Email: [email protected] (no S after the J) Coach Jayson’s Home Email: [email protected] This Week in Baseball History (source: www.nationalpastime.com) March 26, 1951: Rookie Mickey Mantle hits a home run estimated to travel over 650 feet during a spring exhibition game. He also hit a single, triple, and another home run during the game. March 25, 2008: Manny Ramirez hits a double in the tenth to lift the Red Sox to the earliest major league opener ever played. Boston beat the A’s 6-5 at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. Website We are hoping the new website will be up on Monday. We will send the link as soon as it is posted. Drink Schedule Team mom Melissa Barbari will be organizing the drink schedule as soon as the game schedule is released. It would be helpful for all to notify Coach Jayson if you will need to miss a game as soon as the schedule is released so you aren’t scheduled to bring drinks that day. Batting Practice When weather threatens to cancel our outdoor practices, we will occasionally have batting practice at Ultimate Baseball Academy (120 & I Streets) or the Strike Zone (108 & Center in Rockbrook Village). Please be sure that your son has money to pay for his time in the cages. The cost may range from $3-5 on average if we book the whole team at the same time. If cost is a factor for your family, please let Coach Lucas know and we can try to accommodate all players. Uniforms Uniform Shirts: Names are being added to each player’s shirt. The cost for the name on the back is $5 per player. This is payable to Coach Lucas. Hats: They have not yet provided us with our hats. We will distribute at practice when we get them. Parents are responsible to provide the remaining uniform items. All these items are available at most local sporting goods stores. Gray Pants: Be sure the quality of the pants you buy protect the players legs. These should not be too thin and not be see-through. Orange Belt Orange Baseball Socks Rubber or Metal Cleats Baseball Protective Cup Fundraiser Christine Koltas will be getting more coupon books from MAA to sell. Cody Walters is in the lead so far with 4 books sold! Baseball Defined Hitting for the Cycle: When a player hits a single, double, triple, and home run all in the same game. The natural cycle is when this feat is accomplished in order: single, double, triple, then home run. Since 1882, players have hit for the cycle 293 times. Three major league players have hit for the cycle three times in their career. Only 13 natural cycles have been recorded in major league history. .

    A POISSON MODEL FOR “HITTING FOR THE CYCLE” IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL by Paul M. Sommers Christopher J. Teves Joseph T. Burchenal And Daniel M. Haluska March 2010 MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE ECONOMICS DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 10-11 DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT 05753 http://www.middlebury.edu/~econ 2 A POISSON MODEL FOR “HITTING FOR THE CYCLE” IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL by Christopher J. Teves Joseph T. Burchenal Daniel M. Haluska Paul M. Sommers Department of Economics Middlebury College Middlebury, Vermont 05753 [email protected] 3 A POISSON MODEL FOR “HITTING FOR THE CYCLE” IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL In a recent article in this journal [1], Campbell et al. showed that the Poisson probability distribution provides an excellent fit to the data on no-hit games in Major League Baseball, especially during the period 1920-1959. Hitting for the cycle (that is, when a batter hits a single, double, triple and home run in the same game) is another rare event in Major League Baseball.1,2 And, here too, the Poisson probability distribution given by e −μ μ x p(X = x) = , x = 0, 1, 2, … x! where x denotes the number of ballplayers who “hit for the cycle” (hereafter a “cycle”) in a given season provides a remarkably good fit. The number of cycles by league from 1901 through 2007 are shown in Table 1 (see http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/history/rare_feats/index.jsp?feature=hit_for_cycle ). Bob Meusel of the New York Yankees hit for the cycle three times in his career (1921, 1922, and 1928).

    Bud Weiser “King of Beers” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com “It was the first time many of the fans ever saw Bud Weiser in uniform. Lots of them have admired it in a glass many a time, however. - May 31, 1917, The Wilkes-Barre Record on Weiser making his Wilkes-Barre debut More than just The King of Beers, Harry Budson “Bud” Weiser is known as the “Ty Cobb of the North Carolina League,” when he comes up to the National League’s Philadelphia Phillies in 1915 straight from the Class D league in the Tar Heel State. Weiser will play a full season with the Phil- lies in 1915 and a partial one in 1916. In 74 big league at bats, Weiser hits only .162 with 12 hits, including three doubles with nine RBIs and two stolen bases. Nine times in his 12 minor league seasons, the right-handed hitting outfielder will hit over .300, including a career-high .339 as a 32-year-old with the Binghamton Triplets in 1923. He finishes his minor league career with 1,231 hits and .307 batting average. In 1916, he leads the Eastern League in steals, totaling a career-high 55 for the first-place New London Planters. Twice he will capture individual batting titles, first in the North Carolina League (.333) in as a 23-year-old 1914 and then the New York State League (.375) in 1917. On three occasions he will “jump” his contract leaving his teams in the lurch and his impressive minor league career is interrupted by stints in outlaw or semipro leagues.
