  • Walter Dandy and the Batter's Helmet
    NEUROSURGICAL FOCUS Neurosurg Focus 39 (1):E9, 2015 The neurosurgeon as baseball fan and inventor: Walter Dandy and the batter’s helmet Ryan Brewster, BA, Wenya Linda Bi, MD, PhD, Timothy R. Smith, MD, PhD, MPH, William B. Gormley, MD, MPH, Ian F. Dunn, MD, and Edward R. Laws Jr., MD Department of Neurosurgery, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts Baseball maintains one of the highest impact injury rates in all athletics. A principal causative factor is the “beanball,” referring to a pitch thrown directly at a batter’s head. Frequent morbidities elicited demand for the development of protec- tive gear development in the 20th century. In this setting, Dr. Walter Dandy was commissioned to design a “protective cap” in 1941. His invention became widely adopted by professional baseball and inspired subsequent generations of bat- ting helmets. As a baseball aficionado since his youth, Walter Dandy identified a natural partnership between baseball and medical practice for the reduction of beaning-related brain injuries. This history further supports the unique position of neurosurgeons to leverage clinical insights, inform innovation, and expand service to society. http://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2015.3.FOCUS1552 KEY WORDS Walter Dandy; baseball helmet; head trauma; traumatic brain injury; protective gear; innovation N June 1, 1940, the division-leading Brooklyn Initial efforts to devise protective headgear were mod- Dodgers took the field against the Chicago Cubs est, despite the obvious hazards posed by the beanball.

  • Ejection Patterns
    Ejections Through the Years and the Impact of Expanded Replay Ejections are a fascinating part of baseball and some have led to memorable confrontations, several of which are readily accessible in various electronic archives. Perhaps surprisingly, reliable information on ejections has been available only sporadically and there are many conflicting numbers in both print and on-line for even the most basic data such as the number of times a given player, manager or umpire was involved. The first comprehensive compilation of ejection data was carried out over many years by the late Doug Pappas, a tireless researcher in many areas of baseball, including economic analyses of the game. He not only amassed the details of over 11,000 ejections, he also lobbied intensely to have ejection information become a standard part of the daily box scores. He was successful in that effort and we have him to thank for something we now take for granted. After Doug’s passing, his ejection files made their way to Retrosheet where they were maintained and updated by the late David Vincent who expanded the database to over 15,000 events. In 2015, David used the expanded data in the Retrosheet files as the basis for an article which provided some fine background on the history of ejections along with many interesting anecdotes about especially unusual occurrences ((https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/VincentD/EjectionsHistory.pdf). Among other things, David noted that ejections only began in 1889 after a rule change giving umpires the authority to remove players, managers, and coaches as necessary. Prior to that time, offensive actions could only be punished by monetary fines.
