  • Hall of a Debate
    Hall of a debate Ron Santo fell nine votes short in his latest Hall of Fame bid. In Chicago, Ron Santo is a Hall of Famer beyond most reasonable doubts. So what do some in the Veterans Committee see in his career that others do not? By Paul Ladewski Posted on Friday, December 12th Ask even a lukewarm Cubs fan if Ron Santo deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, and chances are he'll treat you like an alien from a land far, far away. Three-hundred-forty-two home runs. Nine All-Star Game appearances. Five Gold Glove Awards. By almost any statistical measure, he ranks on the short list of best third baseman of his time. How can Ron Santo not be a Hall of Famer? That the Veterans Committee closed the door on Santo once again earlier this week speaks of a different point of view, however. The panel is comprised of 64 persons. Each of them is a Hall of Famer himself. And each knows and understands what it takes to be one, presumably. So why did Santo receive only 61 percent of the vote, 14 short of the number required for induction? In the minds of some committee members, there are too many gray areas to allow for it, and here's what they are: • Team success. In the prime of Santo's career, which extended from the 1963 to 1972 seasons, the Cubs lost more games (808) than they won (804). Only once did they total more than 87 victories in that span.

  • Designated Hitters and Subesquent Team Scoring
    DESIGNATED HITTERS AND SUBESQUENT TEAM SCORING PERFORMANCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF SCIENCE BY SARAH E. CHO DR. HOLMES FINCH – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2020 2 ABSTRACT RESEARCH PAPER: Designated Hitters and Subsequent Team Scoring Performance in Major League Baseball STUDENT: Sarah E. Cho DEGREE: Master of Science COLLEGE: Teachers College DATE: July 2020 PAGES: 27 The Designated Hitter (DH) rule in Major League Baseball (MLB) is a topic of great debate. In the National League (NL), all players take a turn at bat. However, in the American League (AL), a DH usually bats for the pitcher. MLB pitchers typically do not have strong batting averages. The DH rule was created to increase a team’s offense. This study looked at whether there is an apparent difference between the AL and the NL. In theory, a DH will lead to more hits, more runs, and therefore a higher scoring game. This study looked at the average runs per game and total home runs for the AL and NL during the 1998 through 2018 regular seasons. Since the assumptions of parametric multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were not met, a nonparametric analysis was used. The permutation test for multivariate means results showed an apparent difference between the two leagues (p < .05). A quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) was used as a follow up test and showed home runs as the variable driving the difference between the two leagues. Therefore, the AL has better scoring performance than the NL.

Biographical Sketch Dr. Margarita Peraza-Rugeley is an Assistant Professor of Spanish in the Department of English, Foreign Languages and Philosophy at Henderson State University. Her scholarly interests center on colonial Latin-American literature from New Spain, specifically the 17th century. Using the case of the Spanish colonies, she explores the birth of national identities in hybrid cultures. Another scholarly interest is the genre of Latin American colonialist narratives by modern-day female authors who situate their plots in the colonial period. In 2013, she published Llámenme «el mexicano»: Los almanaques y otras obras de Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora (Peter Lang,). She also has published short stories. During the summer of 2013, she spent time in Seoul’s National University and, in summer 2014, in Kyungpook National University, both in South Korea. https://www.facebook.com/StringPoet/ The Best Players in New York Mets History Fred Worth, Ph.D.
