  • Mobile Baseball, 1868-1910
    Transcribed Pages from the Charles Dickson Papers on Mobile Baseball Box 3 Folder 1: Mobile Baseball 1868-1910 1. Early Base Ball in Mobile The first record of baseball games being played in Mobile was an account in the Mobile Daily News, Feb. 1st 1868 – The game was for the championship of the state between the: -- Dra [illegible] and the Mobile ball club resulting in a score of 63 to 50 in favor of the Dra[illegible]. It took 2 hours and fourty minutes time to play the game, which was said to be very exciting to five hundred who witnessed the game, not withstanding the very cold weather on that February afternoon. There is no mention of the number of innings that were played,(if any) before the contest was ended. From the report of the game, it is evident that each player of the nine on each team were individually credited by the scores that they made and charged with the number of times that they were Tagged out. R. Ellison was the umpire and R. Goubil and W. Madderu were score keepers. -- Champion Base Ball Match – Dra[illegible] Mobile Player Position Outs Runs Player Position Outs Runs Allen P 2 9 Lardner 3B 4 6 Callett C 3 8 Walker 1B 2 8 Hurley Jr. SS 5 6 Sheridan 2B 3 7 Fitzpatrick 1B 5 6 Cannon P 3 6 Lowduer 2B 1 10 Peterson CF 5 4 Parsons 3B 3 8 Christ C 2 5 Hurley Sr. 4F 4 6 McAvory 4F 3 4 Madderu CF 1 8 Dalton[?] SS 2 6 Bahanna RF 3 2 Magles RF 3 4 Totals 27 63 27 50 2.

  • Detrending Career Statistics in Professional Baseball: Accounting
    Methods for detrending success metrics to account for inflationary and deflationary factors Alexander M. Petersen∗,1 Orion Penner,2 and H. Eugene Stanley1 1Center for Polymer Studies and Department of Physics, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA 2Complexity Science Group, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4, Canada (Dated: March 17, 2011) There is a long standing debate over how to objectively compare the career achievements of professional athletes from different historical eras. Developing an objective approach will be of particular importance over the next decade as Major League Baseball (MLB) players from the “steroids era” become eligible for Hall of Fame induction. Some experts are calling for asterisks (*) to be placed next to the career statistics of athletes found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs (PED). Here we address this issue, as well as the general problem of comparing statistics from distinct eras, by detrending the seasonal statistics of professional baseball players. We detrend player statistics by normalizing achievements to seasonal averages, which accounts for changes in relative player ability resulting from both exogenous and endogenous factors, such as talent dilution from expansion, equipment and training improvements, as well as PED. In this paper we compare the probability density function (pdf) of detrended career statistics to the pdf of raw career statistics for five statistical categories — hits (H), home runs (HR), runs batted in (RBI), wins (W) and strikeouts (K) — over the 90-year period 1920-2009. We find that the functional form of these pdfs are stationary under detrending. This stationarity implies that the statistical regularity observed in the right-skewed distributions for longevity and success in professional baseball arises from both the wide range of intrinsic talent among athletes and the underlying nature of competition.

Topeka Enters the Minor Leagues, 1886–1887: Bud Fowler and Goldsby’s Golden Giants Mark E. Eberle Beginning in 1865 with the Frontier Base Ball Club (BBC) in Leavenworth, teams were organized in most Kansas towns at some point during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Clubs composed of businessowners and others who could enjoy leisure activities on workday afternoons soon gave way to town teams, and in some instances, amateur teams gave way to semipro teams.1 Twenty years after the Frontiers participated in the first intercity matches with clubs in Kansas City, the first professional minor league teams represented cities in Kansas when Leavenworth and Topeka became members of the Western League in 1886 (Table 1).
