GIVING OR RECEIVING ASSISTANCE FROM OTHER STUDENTS IS NOT PERMITTED! 1 1. Let Y1; :::; Yn be independent with Yijθ ∼ Gamma(ai; θ) . Identify a conjugate prior distribution for θ and give a step-by-step mathematical derivation of the posterior distribution. The answer should be a distribution, such as θ ∼ Beta(Y2; 1). Solution: The likelihood is n n Y Y ai A p(Y1; :::; Ynjθ) = f(Yijθ) / θ exp(−Yiθ) / θ exp(−Bθ): i=1 i=1 Pn Pn where A = i=1 ai and B = i=1 Yi. This is the kernel of a gamma PDF and so the conjugate prior is θ ∼ Gamma(c; d). The posterior is then A c−1 A+c−1 p(θjY1; :::; Yn) / [θ exp(−Bθ)][θ exp(−dθ)] / θ exp(−(B + d)θ) Pn Pn and therefore the posterior is Gamma(c + i=1 ai; d + i=1 Yi) a 1 θ i ai−1 That is, the PDF of Yi is y exp(−θyi). Γ(ai) i 2. Denote the probability that a part is defective as θ. The industry standard is that no more than 0.1% of parts can be defective, i.e., θ < 0:001. Your company has purchased a new machine, generated 10; 000 parts, and tested each to determine if it is defective. You are now tasked with testing the null hypothesis that θ ≤ 0:001 versus the alternative hypothesis that θ > 0:001.

Abrams [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Temple University Press 1998] xi / 226 pages ISBN: 1-56639-599-2 In spite of the greater popularity of football and basketball, baseball remains the sport of greatest interest to writers, artists, and historians. The same appears to be true for law professors as well. Recent years have seen the publication Spencer Waller, Neil Cohen, & Paul Finkelman's, Baseball and the American Legal Mind (1995) and G. Ed- ward White's, Creating the National Pastime: Baseball Transforms Itself, 1903-1953 (1996). Now noted labor law expert and Rutgers-Newark Law School Dean Roger Abrams has entered the field with Legal Bases: Baseball and the Law. Unlike the Waller, Cohen, Finkelman anthology of documents and White's history, Abrams does not attempt the survey the full range of intersections between the baseball industry and the legal system. In- stead, he focuses upon the history of labor-management relations.

Torre (MLB) Testimony
Office of the Commissioner MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL STATEMENT OF JOE TORRE, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, BEFORE THE SENATE COMMERCE, SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2, 2014 Chairman Rockefeller, Senator Thune, and members of the Committee, I am Joe Torre, Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations for Major League Baseball. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I thank you for the opportunity to discuss the efforts that we are undertaking to address the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault. The subject matter of this hearing is personally important to me. As a person whose childhood was touched by domestic violence, I have come to understand that discussing the issue publicly has the potential to help millions of victims who believe that they must suffer in silence. In 2002, my wife Ali and I formed the “Safe at Home” Foundation to create educational programs aimed at ending the cycle of domestic violence. I consider it one of my proudest accomplishments in my career. Through my work in this area, including co-chairing the Attorney General’s Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence, I have had the opportunity to work with some truly outstanding individuals who have devoted their lives to working toward solving the issue of domestic violence in this country. Commissioner Selig has instilled in our sport the understanding that Major League Baseball is a social institution, and as our national pastime, has an obligation to set a positive example. The Commissioner and I deplore domestic violence and crimes against women and families. We recognize the very clear public expectation for 245 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10167 (212) 931-7800 www.mlb.com Statement of Joe Torre December 2, 2014 Page 2 professional sports leagues to be leaders in addressing this social ill.

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 "If They Could Only Get Over The Idea That They Owned Us"12 A look at sports pages during the past year reveals that the seemingly endless argument between the owners of major league baseball teams and their players is once more taking attention away from the game on the field. At the heart of the trouble between players and management is the fact that baseball, by fiat of antitrust exemption, is a http://www.empire.net/~lewisec/Players_League_web2.html Page 1 of 7 Players' League-Chapter 2 7/19/2001 12:12 PM monopolistic, monopsonistic cartel, whose leaders want to operate in the style of Gilded Age magnates.13 This desire is easily understood, when one considers that the business of major league baseball assumed its current structure in the 1880's--the heart of the robber baron era. Professional baseball as we know it today began with the formation of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs in 1876. The National League (NL) was a departure from the professional organization which had existed previously: the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players. The main difference between the leagues can be discerned by their full titles; where the National Association considered itself to be by and for the players, the NL was a league of ball club owners, to whom the players were only employees.
