    Postseason Recaps, Line Scores, Stats & Records World Champions 1955 World Champions For the Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1955 World Series was not just a chance to win a championship, but an opportunity to avenge five previous World Series failures at the hands of their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. Even with their ace Don Newcombe on the mound, the Dodgers seemed to be doomed from the start, as three Yankee home runs set back Newcombe and the rest of the team in their opening 6-5 loss. Game 2 had the same result, as New York's southpaw Tommy Byrne held Brooklyn to five hits in a 4-2 victory. With the Series heading back to Brooklyn, Johnny Podres was given the start for Game 3. The Dodger lefty stymied the Yankees' offense over the first seven innings by allowing one run on four hits en route to an 8-3 victory. Podres gave the Dodger faithful a hint as to what lay ahead in the series with his complete-game, six-strikeout performance. Game 4 at Ebbets Field turned out to be an all-out slugfest. After falling behind early, 3-1, the Dodgers used the long ball to knot up the series. Future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and Duke Snider each homered and Gil Hodges collected three of the club’s 14 hits, including a home run in the 8-5 triumph. Snider's third and fourth home runs of the Series provided the support needed for rookie Roger Craig and the Dodgers took Game 5 by a score of 5-3.

V-10, December, 1975 45¢ ~ x x x x **************************************** Eight Old-Timer Teams To Be Added! First the I'badll news. The Strat-O-Matic Game Co. won't be putting out six Old-Timer baseball teams from the period 1920-1939. Now the good news. Instead, it will be putting out eight Old-Timer teams From that period! Because the recent poll conducted in the Review showed a heavy concentrat- ion of votes for two New York Yankee teams (1921 and 1936) and because, after the first three teams, the voting was extremely close, S-O-M creator Harold Richman has decided on eight teams instead of the planned six. When the Review editors last talked with the game company, Richman was researching the eight teams and prepar.ing Fielding and running ratings. The newest set of Old-Timer teams will be available when the 1976 baseball cards come out in the early spring. Now, which eight teams will be added to the growing list of Old-Timer card sets already available? Here are the eight that the readers picked via the poll and the percentage (out of 90 votes) that each received: 1. 1934 Detroit Tigers - 72.2%. 2. 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates - 55.6%. 5. (tie) 1936 New York Yankees, 3. 1929 Chicago Cubs - 53.3% 40%. 4. 1921 New York Yankees - 42.2%.

  • 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.
