  • A Geographical Look at Home Runs
    Academic Forum 24 2006-07 A Geographical Look at Home Runs Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper, we will look at career home runs for major league baseball players based on the state in which they were born. Major league baseball is known for its interesting statistics. There are multitudes of numbers and multitudes of ways of looking at the numbers. For some now-forgotten reason, I once started looking at home runs by the state of birth of the home run hitter. This chart gives home runs by state (including the District of Columbia). Consider the chart below, where “n” denotes the number of players born in that state who have hit at least one major league home run.

    HISTORY & RECORDS BISONS HISTORY & RECORDS BUFFALO BISONS RETIRED NUMBERS OLLIE CARNEGIE #6 Carnegie was the most popular player and greatest off ensive performer in the history of professional baseball in Buff alo. He played 12 years with the Bisons (1931-1941, 1945) and is Buff alo’s all-time leader with 258 home runs (2nd in International League behind only Mike Hessman) and 1,044 RBI. Carnegie led the Bisons in home runs and RBI seven times (1932-1935, 1937-1939) and the IL twice (1938, 1939). His 45 home runs in 1938 remain a club record. A lifetime .308 hitter, Carnegie also owns the Bisons records for games (1,273), hits (1,362) and doubles (249) even though he didn’t join the team until he was 32 years old. Carnegie was in the inaugural class for both the International League (1947) and Buff alo Baseball Hall of Fame. LUKE EASTER #25 Luscious Easter was a slugging fi rst baseman whose long home runs and colorful style of play captured the hearts of Bisons fans from 1956 through 1959.

He led the International League in home runs at RBI in both 1956 (35 homers, 106 RBI) and 1957 (40 home runs, 128 RBI). All told, Easter hit 114 home runs and drove in 353 runs with the Bisons. Of his many memorable games, Easter will always be remembered as the fi rst player ever to hit a home run over the scoreboard at Off ermann Stadium.

  • The Founding of Westbrook Seminary
    The Founding of Westbrook Seminary The Westbrook College Campus had its beginnings in September 1830 when the Kennebec Association of Universalists resolved that a classical literary institution whose purpose was the promotion of "piety and morality and the education of youth" be established at Steven's Plains in Westbrook. The charter for Westbrook Seminary was signed by Governor Daniel Smith, March 4, 1831. The campus's original eight acres were a gift to the Association from Zachariah Stevens and Oliver Buckley. Three years passed before the first class was held on June 9, 1834 in the newly constructed Seminary Building, which is now called Alumni Hall. Westbrook Seminary’s First Principal At its inception the institution was called Westbrook Seminary, because in the United States in the 19th century the terms "college" and "seminary" and "institute" were commonly used interchangeably. When the first term of class began in June 1834, the Reverend Samuel Brimblecom of Harvard's class of 1817 was the first principal. Tuition was three dollars for “common English studies” and four dollars and a half for "languages and higher branches of the mathematics." Male and female students were "admitted to equal privileges" and boarded in neighboring homes for a dollar and a quarter a week for women, and a dollar fifty for men. Westbrook Seminary, 1857 During the 1850s, Westbrook Seminary grew and prospered under the leadership of Dr. James P. Weston. Growth in enrollment required dormitory space and Goddard Hall, named for major donor Thomas A. Goddard of Boston, became the second building on campus, built in 1857.
