    Cape Cod Baseball League Teams Up with Pierce‐Cote/Regan Communications Group Contact: Sean Gonsalves, Regan Communications (508) 420‐5566 ext. 118 (w) 617‐308‐8393 (c) [email protected] Cape Cod, MA – Pierce‐Cote/Regan Communications Group (PC/RCG) has a new teammate. The Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) – the nation’s premier summer collegiate baseball league – has retained the services of the premier integrated marketing communications firm in the region to assist the CCBL in elevating the league’s baseball brand. “This is a match made on a field of dreams. We’ve long been recognized as the league where fans can see the stars of tomorrow play today,” said CCBL President Chuck Sturtevant. “Bringing a power‐house like Pierce‐Cote/Regan Communications on board will help us extend the reach of our unique brand of baseball and all that it offers players and fans alike.” With one out of every six current Major League Baseball players among CCBL alumni, the league is as strong as it has ever been. However, with the emergence of other summer leagues, the advent of social media, and a rapidly changing media landscape, CCBL does not intend to rest on its laurels. “Since our founding in 1885, the Cape League has relied on the commitment of a mostly volunteer staff to handle all of the administrative and communications work. We remain confident in the product we offer, but in this day and age we have to work harder than ever to keep the Cape League at the forefront of amateur baseball for generations to come,” Sturtevant said.

  • The Rules of Scoring
    THE RULES OF SCORING 2011 OFFICIAL BASEBALL RULES WITH CHANGES FROM LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL’S “WHAT’S THE SCORE” PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION These “Rules of Scoring” are for the use of those managers and coaches who want to score a Juvenile or Minor League game or wish to know how to correctly score a play or a time at bat during a Juvenile or Minor League game. These “Rules of Scoring” address the recording of individual and team actions, runs batted in, base hits and determining their value, stolen bases and caught stealing, sacrifices, put outs and assists, when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, wild pitches and passed balls, bases on balls and strikeouts, earned runs, and the winning and losing pitcher. Unlike the Official Baseball Rules used by professional baseball and many amateur leagues, the Little League Playing Rules do not address The Rules of Scoring. However, the Little League Rules of Scoring are similar to the scoring rules used in professional baseball found in Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules. Consequently, Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules is used as the basis for these Rules of Scoring. However, there are differences (e.g., when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, runs batted in, winning and losing pitcher). These differences are based on Little League Baseball’s “What’s the Score” booklet. Those additional rules and those modified rules from the “What’s the Score” booklet are in italics. The “What’s the Score” booklet assigns the Official Scorer certain duties under Little League Regulation VI concerning pitching limits which have not implemented by the IAB (see Juvenile League Rule 12.08.08).

    Volume 38, No. 2 Quarterly of the Alaska Historical Society Summer 2010 Message from the President Katie Ringsmuth Northern Pastime: Linking People, Places and the Past “We have observed several parties of youngsters playing base, a certain game of ball …Let us go forth awhile and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms …the game of ball is glorious.” Walt Whitman ersonally for me, summertime in Alaska evokes Africa, North, Central and South America, Asia, the Pacific memories of hiking trails lined with fireweed, Islands, and Australia.

I met my husband playing softball on the parkP strip, and for Mother’s Day this year we took our boys, Ben and Tom, to watch the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. Although at age 40 “the Kid” was only batting a buck-eighty-four, we wanted the boys to be able to tell their kids that they once saw Ken Griffey Jr.—one of the Game’s greats—swing the bat during what is likely his last season. Put simply, we wanted to give our boys a lasting memory. It’s hard for a historian not to love baseball, for our national pastime is steeped in tradition. In his PBS documentary Baseball, Ken Burns showed us that baseball not only commemorates history, but has also shaped it. As the Game’s popularity soared around the turn of the twentieth century, the shared act of being a spectator of the sport helped teach newly-arrived immigrants how to be Americans.

Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard.

LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball.
