Parekh, MA The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015 Supervising Professors: William Arcé, Timothy Morris, James Warren The first chapter of this project looks at media representations of two Mexican- born baseball players—Fernando Valenzuela and Teodoro “Teddy” Higuera—pitchers who made their big league debuts in the 1980s and garnered significant attention due to their stellar play and ethnic backgrounds. Chapter one looks at U.S. media narratives of these Mexican baseball players and their focus on these foreign athletes’ bodies when presenting them the American public, arguing that 1980s U.S.

  • Gordon Nell, “Borger Bomber” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Gordon Nell, “Borger Bomber” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com In its 16-year existence, the West Texas-New Mexico League was regarded as a haven for hitters with batting averages and home runs inflated by the region’s thin dry air and undersized ball parks, like Amarillo Park (324 feet down both lines and 364 feet to center field). One player that takes full advantage of these circumstances is Gordon Nell, a hard- hitting outfielder-first baseman for the Pampa Oilers and Borger Gassers. In seven seasons playing in the West Texas-New Mexico League (WTNML), the brawny Nell averages 39 home runs, 44 doubles and 160 RBIs per year. Three times Nell will lead the WTNML in home runs and RBIs, doubles twice, while hit- ting a nifty .351 over that seven-year span. Nell’s best season comes in 1939 when he captures the triple crown with a career-high .392 batting average, 44 home runs and 189 RBIs. And just for good measure he has 60 doubles and 15 stolen bases. Starting with a Western Association home run title in his second season in 1931, Nell will be a league leader in home runs five times in his 12-year career. But, in many ways Nell is an enigma. Talented enough to be offered a contract to be- gin his career in a B-level league, he turns it down as a 21-year-old in 1929. By his second season (1931), Nell has already made it to the highest reaches of the minor leagues playing with the Minneapolis Miller of American (AA) Association.

    Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-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 field, 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.
