  • 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.

  • Using Mathematics and Statistics to Analyze Who Are the Great Sluggers in Baseball
    ICOTS-7, 2006: Taylor and Krevisky USING MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS TO ANALYZE WHO ARE THE GREAT SLUGGERS IN BASEBALL Randy Taylor Las Positas College, United States Steve Krevisky Middlesex Community College, United States [email protected] In this presentation, we share the results of statistical work that we have done over several years, in order to determine who are the best sluggers in the game of baseball in the US. Using z scores, we examined yearly home run and slugging average figures, so as to analyze which batters were the most SD’s above the mean. We used cutoffs of 200 at bats or 250 plate appearances before expansion, and increased this by about 5%, to account for the increased number of games played after the expansion in the early 1960s. Since real data are involved, we feel that this would be a very good application for students in a basic statistics class, and we will present various charts in the following discussion, and summarize our findings. This is a shortened version of what we have presented at numerous conferences in the US. Please let us know if you wish to see the full version of our paper! INDIVIDUAL YEAR HOME RUN RESULTS Gathering the statistics was much more time consuming than imagined. Data was obtained for all years 1920-2003 from The Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball 2004 by David S. Neft, Richard M. Cohen, and Michael L. Neft. This book contained all the information required, but the print was very small. It also used numbers to indicate players who were traded, which was important in counting players totals in both leagues if they played in both leagues.

  • Howard Burton Shipley Martinsburg 1915, 1918, 1922 Waynesboro 1920-21 Infielder / Player-Manager
    Howard Burton Shipley Martinsburg 1915, 1918, 1922 Waynesboro 1920-21 Infielder / Player-Manager By Mark C. Zeigler When “Country” Morris was organizing his inaugural team for the Martinsburg club in 1915, one of the first people he recruited was his best friend from his college athletic days, Howard Burton Shipley. Born on January 17, 1890 in Anne Arundel County, MD , he was a native of Harmons, MD. His name has become recognized as part of University of Maryland history, which spanned almost 80 years, from 1896, when he served as the waterboy for the football team, until his death in 1976. A very popular figure, and colorful personality at Maryland, according to a story attributed to The Baltimore Sun, Shipley’s sense of humor stimulated all those with whom he associated on campus. A standout multi-sport athlete, Shipley entered Maryland Agricultural College while a prep student in 1908, and graduated from the college in the spring of 1914. He played football, basketball and baseball during that time. He helped organize and was team captain of the school’s second ever basketball team during the 1910-11 season, compiling a 3-9 record, as a student coach. After graduation he coached at Perkiomean Prep in Phoenixville, PA and Marshall College, before entering the service during World War I on June 24, 1918. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the army two months later at Camp Gordon, GA. After the war, Shipley was the athletic director, baseball and basketball coach at the University of Delaware, until his contract was not renewed after the 1922 season.

  • An Introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park
    An introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park. From 1937 to 1953, the Southern Minny League largely dominated in the state baseball tournament. During those years, the Southern Minny’s post-season tournament champion1 won the state tournament at either the A or AA level twelve times. Only once did the Southern Minny’s representative fail to place first or second when Austin dropped a first round game in the tournament in 1939. Despite the phenomenal success of Austin’s program particularly in the post-World War II era, baseball in Austin did lead a bit of a vagabond life. At times, there simply was no home for baseball at all and others no dedicated home. Even so, Austin has hosted many historic moments, players and teams. The first of which is reflected on the back of this Ted Williams baseball card. The referenced no-hitter in Austin triggered much of my interest in researching baseball in Southern Minnesota. John Donaldson actually lost the game with the no-hitter intact due to an error (or two). This game is believed to have taken place in Lafayette Park. If elected to the Hall of Fame in 2020, Donaldson will join Burleigh Grimes, Jose Mendez and Satchel Paige as the known Hall of Fame members to have played in Austin. 1. The Southern Minny held a post-season tournament to determine the state representative. Speaking of Burleigh Grimes: Became available when Minnesota-Wisconsin League disbanded on July 1, 1912. “Grimes, a new recruit, was on the rubber and won himself a berth with us.
