  • Castrovince | October 23Rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- the Baseball Season Ends with Someone Else Celebrating
    C's the day before: Chicago, Cleveland ready By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com | @castrovince | October 23rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- The baseball season ends with someone else celebrating. That's just how it is for fans of the Indians and Cubs. And then winter begins, and, to paraphrase the great meteorologist Phil Connors from "Groundhog Day," it is cold, it is gray and it lasts the rest of your life. The city of Cleveland has had 68 of those salt-spreading, ice-chopping, snow-shoveling winters between Tribe titles, while Chicagoans with an affinity for the North Siders have all been biding their time in the wintry winds since, in all probability, well before birth. Remarkably, it's been 108 years since the Cubs were last on top of the baseball world. So if patience is a virtue, the Cubs and Tribe are as virtuous as they come. And the 2016 World Series that arrives with Monday's Media Day - - the pinch-us, we're-really-here appetizer to Tuesday's intensely anticipated Game 1 at Progressive Field -- is one pitting fan bases of shared circumstances and sentiments against each other. These are two cities, separated by just 350 miles, on the Great Lakes with no great shakes in the realm of baseball background, and that has instilled in their people a common and eventually unmet refrain of "Why not us?" But for one of them, the tide will soon turn and so, too, will the response: "Really? Us?" Yes, you. Imagine what that would feel like for Norman Rosen. He's 90 years old and wise to the patience required of Cubs fandom.

  • Ejection Patterns
    Ejections Through the Years and the Impact of Expanded Replay Ejections are a fascinating part of baseball and some have led to memorable confrontations, several of which are readily accessible in various electronic archives. Perhaps surprisingly, reliable information on ejections has been available only sporadically and there are many conflicting numbers in both print and on-line for even the most basic data such as the number of times a given player, manager or umpire was involved. The first comprehensive compilation of ejection data was carried out over many years by the late Doug Pappas, a tireless researcher in many areas of baseball, including economic analyses of the game. He not only amassed the details of over 11,000 ejections, he also lobbied intensely to have ejection information become a standard part of the daily box scores. He was successful in that effort and we have him to thank for something we now take for granted. After Doug’s passing, his ejection files made their way to Retrosheet where they were maintained and updated by the late David Vincent who expanded the database to over 15,000 events. In 2015, David used the expanded data in the Retrosheet files as the basis for an article which provided some fine background on the history of ejections along with many interesting anecdotes about especially unusual occurrences ((https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/VincentD/EjectionsHistory.pdf). Among other things, David noted that ejections only began in 1889 after a rule change giving umpires the authority to remove players, managers, and coaches as necessary. Prior to that time, offensive actions could only be punished by monetary fines.

  • Piersall Never Politically Correct, Always
    Piersall never politically correct, always a great listen By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Sunday, June 4, 2017 The term “politically correct” pervades our so- ciety. Fortunately for Jimmy Piersall’s later claim to fame, he burst on the broadcast scene before on-air personalities had to practically weigh every word and who it might upset. He could have not become the wild, and crazy (as Piersall said he had papers to prove) guy the liberal Bill Veeck barely could allow on the air on White Sox broadcasts, and the far more conservative WGN did not dare re-unite with Harry Caray on Cubs games in the mid-1980s. If anything, sometimes Piersall – who died June 3 at 87 -- was too hot to handle. The first in-depth interview I conducted with Piersall at his Wheaton home in 1985, when he hosted a WIND-Radio talk show, featured one stream of consciousness about prominent Chicagoans, and by connection to me, so far beyond politi- cally correct that I did not dare use it in a local article. Jimmy and Jan Piersall at their Wheaton home. Fortunately, Piersall had mellowed just a tad by 2013, when through the assistance of longtime Chicago media mainstay Tom Shaer I returned to the Piersall homestead. With wife Jan producing her trademark brownies to sweeten the deal, Piersall still had his rapier style sharpened at 83, yet he was as in- formative and revealing as an octogenarian can be. The session ended up with the last in-depth interview Piersall conducted: http://chicagobaseballmuseum.org/files/CBM-Jimmy-Piersall-part1-20130423.pdf http://chicagobaseballmuseum.org/files/CBM-Jimmy-Piersall-part2-20130426.pdf We’ve heard back that Piersall appreciated the finished product on the Chicago Base- ball Museum web site.

  • Phillipe & Jorge: Comey, Linc and Congrats —
    Phillipe & Jorge: Comey, Linc and Congrats — Is That Good Enough? Comets, Computers and Comey May we now put the sensationalized testimony of former FBI director James Comey before Congress into the mausoleum already containing such equally overhyped events as the extravagantly promoted (non) appearance of Comet Kohoutek in late 1973 and the Y2K “Millenium Bug” that was going to crash every computer in the world and throw the planet into darkness and disarray. Okay, okay. Yes, he called Trump a liar. Anyone drop in from Mars recently that we need to get up to speed on that daily-proven charge? Yes, he made a fairly good case for eventual obstruction of justice charges, but do you think that is going to get him impeached by his bought-and-paid-for fellas in the US House of Representatives (read: Trogolodytes)? No chance, thank you very much. And was there ever a question that Comey was cashiered because he was looking into the Russia/Trump administration collusion with Russia? If you think otherwise, let Phillipe and Jorge show you our photos of some prime waterfront properties we can get you for a song right now on the barrier islands of North Carolina, which are guaranteed to be sea level rise resistant. Given the above, P&J went searching for the finer moments attending Comey’s diva performance at the Capitol on June 8 that pre-empted programming on every TV station/network with even a pretense of having a passing relationship with real news. How Andy Cohen stayed on topic with housewives that day is a mystery to us.
