    Estimated Age Effects in Baseball

    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more full-time years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and eld, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

    Joe Di Maggio's Mighty Swing

    Marilyn E. Jackler Memorial Collection of Tobacco Advertisements AC1224 Date: Theme: Athletic Endorsers Campaign: 28% less Nicotine Key phrase: “Joe Di Maggio’s mighty swing” Brand: Camel Company: RJ Reynolds Comment: Joe Di Maggio was Born November 25, 1914, the eighth of nine siblings, into a poor immigrant family from Italy. His father, Giuseppe, was a fisherman and expected the same of his five sons. Often called “lazy” and “good for nothing”, Joe Di Maggio proved his father wrong, first playing for the San Francisco Seals on October 1, 1932, rising out of poverty, and going on to become a three time MVP winner and thirteen time All-Star for the New York Yankees. Joltin’ Joe hit safely in 56 consecutive games in the 1941 season, a record still unmatched. Joe Di Maggio’s mighty swing was curtailed along with his American dream on October 14, 1998 by tobacco when he died following surgery for lung cancer.
