    Oral history narrative from a joint program with Hillsborough County and the Florida Center for Community Design and Research Little Moon Lake The following narrative is drawn from an interview with Malcolm “Bunny” Mick, a Little Moon Lake resident for over 20 years. An avid fisherman who goes out on the lake three to four times a week, Bunny was able to share his knowledge of the lake’s current condition, as well as its history. Personal History Bunny Mick has lived a fulfilling and interesting life. Being in high school when the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred, Bunny joined the military upon Malcolm "Bunny" Mick (USF) graduation to serve in World War II. While serving, the New York Yankees scouted the young baseball player, who was signed immediately following his release from the military in 1945. Bunny recalled: “I got out December 1st, 1945 and within 30 or 40 days, the Yankees signed me. I played in the Yankee organization for ten years and was kind of back up center fielder behind Joe DiMaggio, the great center fielder. I won three minor league batting titles in three different leagues trying to get his job, but he was the best player I ever saw and I never did really get a good shot at it.” Bunny continued to work in baseball; taking pleasure in the lifestyle and benefits the industry provided him. Despite never beating out Joe DiMaggio, View of lake from the Boy Scout Camp (USF) Bunny enjoyed a secure and happy career, playing and coaching baseball for the majority of his adult life.

  • Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER 1 Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed King Arthur’s quest for it in the Middle Ages became a large part of his legend. Monty Python and Indiana Jones launched their searches in popular 1974 and 1989 movies. The mythic quest for the Holy Grail, the name given in Western tradition to the chal- ice used by Jesus Christ at his Passover meal the night before his death, is now often a metaphor for a quintessential search. In the illustrious history of baseball, the “holy grail” is a ranking of each player’s overall value on the baseball diamond. Because player skills are multifaceted, it is not clear that such a ranking is possible. In comparing two players, you see that one hits home runs much better, whereas the other gets on base more often, is faster on the base paths, and is a better fielder. So which player should rank higher? In Baseball’s All-Time Best Hitters, I identified which players were best at getting a hit in a given at-bat, calling them the best hitters. Many reviewers either disapproved of or failed to note my definition of “best hitter.” Although frequently used in base- ball writings, the terms “good hitter” or best hitter are rarely defined. In a July 1997 Sports Illustrated article, Tom Verducci called Tony Gwynn “the best hitter since Ted Williams” while considering only batting average.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Braves.com Braves' Top 5 center fielders: Bowman's take By Mark Bowman No one loves a good debate quite like baseball fans, and with that in mind, we asked each of our beat reporters to rank the top five players by position in the history of their franchise, based on their career while playing for that club. These rankings are for fun and debate purposes only … if you don’t agree with the order, participate in the Twitter poll to vote for your favorite at this position. Here is Mark Bowman’s ranking of the top 5 center fielders in Braves history. Next week: Right fielders. 1. Andruw Jones, 1996-2007 Key fact: Stands with Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Ichiro Suzuki as the only outfielders to win 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards The 60.9 bWAR (Baseball Reference’s WAR model) Andruw Jones produced during his 11 full seasons (1997-2007) with Atlanta ranked third in the Majors, trailing only Alex Rodriguez (85.7) and Barry Bonds (79.2). Chipper Jones was fourth at 58.9. Within this span, the Braves center fielder led all Major Leaguers with a 26.7 Defensive bWAR. Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez ranked second with 16.5. The next closest outfielder was Mike Cameron (9.6). Along with establishing himself as one of the greatest defensive outfielders baseball has ever seen during his time with Atlanta, Jones became one of the best power hitters in Braves history. He ranks fourth in franchise history with 368 homers, and he set the club’s single-season record with 51 homers in 2005.
