Throughout the 1984 and 1985 seasons, as a major league groundskeeper, I was granted the pleasure of playing with major league baseball players.

This is a perfect description of my love for the San Francisco Giants. They have moved me to tears of joy, tears of frustration, tears of sadness. I have kicked walls in the aforementioned frustration and almost worn a groove in my carpet from pacing as Game Seven of the 2014 World Series unfolded its drama, going to the very last out with the game on the line. I have shouted at the radio during Matt Cain's perfect game such useful things as "Stay Calm " in a frenzied, decidedly not calm voice, as if Matt could hear me from my living room. During Tim Lincecum's...

The Truth About the Designated Hitter: Why the Criticisms Against the Designated Hitter are Unfounded
ISBN: 9781535292818 / Angielski / Miękka / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an in-depth analysis of the effect of the designated hitter (dh) on Major League Baseball. This book shows that there is not nearly as much difference between the American League(AL) and National League(NL) as most people think. The dh has not made the AL slower nor less reluctant to use strategy. Over the past 8 years (2009-2016), the AL has averaged more stolen bases per team per year (98 to 94), and the rate at which base runners took an extra base on a single or double has been the same in each league: 40%. Sacrifice bunts by the #1-8 slots of the batting order have been very...

ISBN: 9780997073942 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Who should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame? Who shouldn't? Everyone has an opinion, and everyone can conjure up a few stats or arguments for or against just about any player. It's a mess. There has to be a better way. "The Baseball Hall of Fame Corrected" brings order to the chaos. It starts with specific standards based on the current composition of the Hall. Then it compares each existing Hall-of-Famer's record to the standards to determine whether he really deserves the honor.
