THE 2014 KANSAS CITY ROYALS POST-SEASON GUIDE IS AVAILABLE ON-LINE AT MLBPRESSBOX.COM KC GETS 2-1 JUMP WITH ANOTHER NAILBITER--For the first time in three World Series, the Royals possess a 2-1 advantage by virtue of a 3-2 win over the Giants in front of a raucous house at AT&T Park on Friday night...Kansas City plated a first inning run thanks to Alcides Escobar’s game-opening double and then two huge runs in the sixth via RBI knocks from Alex Gordon and birthday boy Eric Hosmer, then held on with its lockdown bullpen...Jeremy Guthrie provided five shutout innings, but ran into a jam to open the sixth, but the quartet of Kelvin Herrera, Brandon Finnegan, Wade Davis and Greg Holland combined for four hitless innings of relief to hold San Francisco at bay...the win ran KC’s postseason record to 10-1 this year, with seven of those contests decided by two runs or less, including five one-run victories. STU-“PEN”-DOUS WORK BY RELIEVERS--The Kansas City bullpen tacked on another four shutout innings last night, capped with Greg Holland’s first save in the World Series and seventh of this postseason...Holland’s seven rescues have tied the Major League record for a single postseason joining fellow relievers John Wetteland (1996 Yankees), Robb Nen (2002 Giants), Troy Percival (2002 Angels), Brad Lidge (2008 Phillies) and Koji Uehara (2013 Red Sox)...the combined work of Brandon Finnegan, Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Holland have held Giants’ hitters to a collective 1-for-28 in this series with 10 strikeouts...Davis tossed a scoreless eighth last night to lower his postseason ERA to 0.79, allowing one run in 11.1 innings with 14 strikeouts...overall, the KC bullpen has gone 7-0 while compiling a 1.66 ERA, giving up nine earned runs in 48.2 frames. BEST TRIO EVER???--The Royals are displaying in the postseason what Kansas Citians came to appreciate this summer with one of the top bullpens in the game...the trifecta of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland were the first trio in history to make at least 60 appearances each and record individual ERA’s of under 1.50... in this postseason the trio has combined to work 32.1 innings, allowing three earned runs for a 0.84 ERA while fanning 39...they’ve been even better in their last five postseason contests dating back to the ALCS vs. Baltimore, working a combined 16.2 consecutive scoreless innings, allowing just six hits while fanning 17. PERFECT ROAD PLAY--The Royals ran their record to 5-0 on the road this postseason with last night’s victory after going 2-0 in Anaheim in the ALDS and Baltimore in the ALCS...those figures are even better than KC’s solid regular season work, posting a 47-34 ledger away from ‘The K’, five wins better the home ledger during the season (42-39)...the road year turned around in Chicago, as KC entered play on July 22 in Chicago with a 26-25 road mark, but then reeled off a 21-9 record in road tilts, matching the Angels for the most road wins in that span...counting the postseason, KC is now 10-1-1 in its last 12 road series played. A WORLD SERIES FIRST--With his appearance last night, Royals reliever Brandon Finnegan became the first player ever to appear in the College World Series and the Fall Classic in the same year...the 21-year old southpaw, who recorded a flyout and strikeout with a man aboard in the seventh last night, was drafted by the Royals in the first round (17th overall) this past June at the same time he was helping Texas Christian University advance to the second round of this year’s College World Series. SOLID VS. SENIOR CIRCUIT--Though the stakes are much higher this week, playing against the National League in 2014 was not an issue for the Royals, especially on the road...Kansas City posted a big league best 15-5 mark against the Senior Circuit, with all but four of those games occurring against the National League West...KC also went 8-2 on the road vs. the N.L., losing their first meeting in San Diego before winning eight in a row and then losing the N.L. road finale in Denver. POSTSEASON RECAP--Kansas City has run its 2014 postseason record to 10-1 with consecutive wins over the Giants...KC was the first club in history to open a postseason 8-0, a streak that began the Royals coming back from a 7-3 deficit in the eighth inning of the Wild Card Game against Oakland’s Jon Lester to eventually post a 9-8 victory over the A’s in 12 innings...from there, the Royals swept three from the Angels, highlighted by back-to-back 11-inning wins in Anaheim and then kept the dream alive with a 4-game sweeping of Baltimore, taking the first two in Camden Yards and then finishing things off at home with consecutive 2-1 wins. TONIGHT’S STARTING PITCHERS (Postseason stats): LHP Jason Vargas (1-0, 2.38) vs. RHP Ryan Vogelsong (0-0, 5.19) Regular Season 2014 2013 Career 2014 2013 Career Jason Vargas vs. Giants 0-0 - 0-1 Major League Record 11-10 (3.71 ERA) 9-8 62-68 Ryan Vogelsong vs. Royals - - 0-0 Major League Record 8-13 (4.00 ERA) 4-6 49-57 JASON VARGAS takes the hill for his first World Series appearance and third start of the postseason...he posted an 11-10 record in his first season with KC, reaching double-digit wins for the third time in the last 4 seasons...he’s 0-1 in three regular season starts vs. the Giants in his career...the Apple Valley, Calif. native signed a 4-year free- agent deal with the Royals on November 22, 2013, after pitching for the Angels last year.

CAREER-BEST ERA--Despite a rough September, Jason recorded a career-best 3.71 ERA this season, besting his 3.78 mark with Seattle in 2010...his ERA was tops by a qualifying Royals lefty since Charlie Leibrandt posted a 3.19 earned run average in 1988...he enters his third postseason start with a 2.38 ERA, which is fourth- lowest in KC postseason history among hurlers that have thrown at least 10.0 innings. ATTACKING THE ZONE--Vargas also posted a career-best 1.97 walks per 9.0 innings (41 BB in 187.0 IP) during the regular season, which tied with fellow left- handed pitcher Jon Lester for 10th-lowest in the A.L....it was also tied for the third-lowest among qualifying American League southpaws.

  • The Decline and Fall of the Pirates Family
    Chapter One The Decline and Fall of the Pirates Family The 1980–1985 Seasons ♦◊♦ As over forty-four thousand Pirates fans headed to Three Rivers Sta- dium for the home opener of the 1980 season, they had every reason to feel optimistic about the Pirates and Pittsburgh sports in general. In the 1970s, their Pirates had captured six divisional titles, two National League pennants, and two World Series championships. Their Steelers, after decades of futility, had won four Super Bowls in the 1970s, while the University of Pittsburgh Panthers led by Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett added to the excitement by winning a collegiate national championship in football. There was no reason for Pittsburgh sports fans to doubt that the 1980s would bring even more titles to the City of Champions. After the “We Are Family” Pirates, led by Willie Stargell, won the 1979 World Series, the ballclub’s goals for 1980 were “Two in a Row and Two Million Fans.”1 If the Pirates repeated as World Series champions, it would mark the first time that a Pirates team had accomplished that feat in franchise history. If two million fans came out to Three Rivers Stadium to see the Pirates win back-to-back World Series titles, it would 3 © 2017 University of Pittsburgh Press.

The offseason after the 1979 World Series victory was a whirlwind of awards and honors, highlighted by World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) Willie Stargell and Super Bowl MVP Terry Bradshaw of the Steelers appearing on the cover of the December 24, 1979, Sports Illustrated as corecipients of the magazine’s Sportsman of the Year Award.

    Working Paper Series, Paper No. 06-27 Revenue Sharing in Sports Leagues: The Effects on Talent Distribution and Competitive Balance Phillip Miller† November 2006 Abstract This paper uses a three-stage model of non-cooperative and cooperative bargaining in a free agent market to analyze the effect of revenue sharing on the decision of teams to sign a free agent. We argue that in all subgame perfect Nash equilibria, the team with the highest reservation price will get the player. We argue that revenue sharing will not alter the outcome of the game unless the proportion taken from high revenue teams is sufficiently high. We also argue that a revenue sharing system that rewards quality low-revenue teams can alter the outcome of the game while requiring a lower proportion to be taken from high revenue teams. We also argue that the revenue sharing systems can improve competitive balance by redistributing pivotal marginal players among teams. JEL Classification Codes: C7, J3, J4, L83 Keywords: competitive balance, revenue sharing, sports labor markets, free agency * I thank Dave Mandy, Peter Mueser, Ken Troske, Mike Podgursky, Jeff Owen, and two anonymous referees for valuable comments on earlier drafts. Their suggestions substantially improved the paper. Any remaining errors or omissions are my own. †Phillip A. Miller, Department of Economics, Morris Hall 150, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Mankato, MN 56001, E-mail: [email protected], Phone: 507-389- 5248. 1. Introduction Free agency has been cheered by players and agents but has been scorned by team owners. Player salaries under free agency have expanded to an extent that many fans believe small market teams now have difficulty in competing for playing talent and on the playing field, worsening the competitive balance between teams.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
