Book excerpt: This book is whimsical tour of the author's 101 all-time teams by various categories, for example; animal names, food names, actual teams, ethnic groups and more. All players represented in this book played in the major leagues at the position in which I have placed them.The guidelines the author followed are: 1) each team consists of the eight position players, a designated hitter, four starting pitchers and one relief pitcher; 2) the author used last names in all sections except People, Places, and Things, where I use first or last names. In one case, for my body parts team, he could not find a catcher with either a first or last name to qualify, so he had to come up with a body part nickname: "Schnozz" Lombardi. Nor could he find a shortstop that met his requirements, so he picked Larry Kopf. Kopf is German for head.This is a fun look at our national pastime from the zany perspective a lifelong baseball fan.

Book Synopsis The All-Time Themed Baseball Teams - Volume 1 by : Paul Steinman
Download or read book The All-Time Themed Baseball Teams - Volume 1 written by Paul Steinman and published by Mplementer, Incorporated. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The All-Time Themed Baseball Teams, Volume 1 is a compilation of Major League all-star teams based on various themes. Theme examples include: U.S. Presidents, consisting of the best Major League players who happen to have a name that matches the last name of a U.S. President; Colors, representing players whose names contain one of the Crayola crayon colors. Other themes include: Food: Frank(s) and Bergers (Burgers), Bacon and Curry, Salmon and Roe and Ham and Fowl(er), these are just a few of my favorite food related player names that might be found on the All Food Team. Occupations: A (Max) Butcher, a (Dusty) Baker but no John Candelaria maker. This team looks for player last names that reference an occupation that someone might have. Animals: (Steve) Lyon, the Tigers and (Doug) Bair, oh my. This team consists of player names containing an animal. Last Name Is Also a First Name Team Whether you're Howard Frank or Frank Howard, you could be on this team containing players whose last name could also be used conventionally as a first name. Flora: A (Pete) Rose by any other name would still smell as sweet and is still not in the Hall of Fame. That is why we plant our (Bob) Seeds so that they grow a strong (Charley) Root system and blossom into a (Homer) Bush, all the while making sure our (Norm) Branch is not covered with (Mike) Ivie. Flowers, trees or flora parts are what these players need to have in their names to be considered for this theme team. Body Parts: You have to have strong (Ricky) Bones and a lot of (Jim Ray) Hart, but most of all, you must use your (Dave) Brain to its fullest potential. To be included on this team, the player's name must contain a body part. Financial: A (Brad) Penny for your thoughts. Personally, I'd rather put my (Don) Money in the (Ernie) Banks or a money market (Lee) Pfund so I can earn a good deal of (Dave) Cash. This team consists of players that have financial terms in their names. Locations: From (Kelly) Paris to (Gus) Britain, from (Al) Holland to (Clyde) Milan, from (Miguel) Cairo to (Frank) Brazil - though all-in-all, I'd rather take a rocket ship to the (Wally) Moon. This theme team includes players with well-known geographic locations in their names. Smiths: A team composed of players whose last name is Smith. Jones: Not to be outdone by the Smiths, a team of players whose last name is Jones. Gonzalez/ Martinez Team: The influence of the Latin player finds its way into a theme team with players whose last name is either Gonzalez or Martinez. Weather: One might expect some (Bob) Hale coming in from the west that might change to some (JT) Snow. Don't expect any (Josh) Fogg, but there could be some (Rich) Gale force winds blowing in, leading to a big (Jake) Freeze. The forecast calls for a heavy dose of (Tim) Raines leading to a potential (Curt) Flood. It won't be long before (Ed) Summers is upon us, so have a (Harry) Bright day. This all (Roy) Weatherly team contains players whose names might be mentioned in a weather report. Z: This team contains only Major Leaguers whose last name begins with the letter Z. Automotive: Whether you drive a (Whitey) Ford, a (Jose) Mercedes or a (Jack) Bentley, each of us can do our part for the environment by not using (Pat) Diesel in our (Chuck) Carr. This theme team consists of players whose names represent a car, truck or motorcycle brand, manufacturer, part or other automotive term. Berry/Bery: Phil Rizzuto never referred to me as a (Earl) Huckleberry. However, he once ate my (Darryl) Strawberry and (Dan) Quisenberry pie. Players that feature "berry" or "bery" somewhere in their names will comprise this delicious team. What's in a name? This is not really a theme team but a list of some of the best and worst names of Major League Baseball players, by position.

Download or read book Trading Bases written by Joe Peta and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ex–Wall Street trader improved on Moneyball’s famed sabermetrics and beat the Vegas odds with his own betting methods. Here is the story of how Joe Peta turned fantasy baseball into a dream come true. Joe Peta turned his back on his Wall Street trading career to pursue an ingenious—and incredibly risky—dream. He would apply his risk-analysis skills to Major League Baseball, and treat the sport like the S&P 500. In Trading Bases, Peta takes us on his journey from the ballpark in San Francisco to the trading floors and baseball bars of New York and the sportsbooks of Las Vegas, telling the story of how he created a baseball “hedge fund” with an astounding 41 percent return in his first year. And he explains the unique methods he developed. Along the way, Peta provides insight into the Wall Street crisis he managed to escape: the fragility of the midnineties investment model; the disgraced former CEO of Lehman Brothers, who recruited Peta; and the high-adrenaline atmosphere where million-dollar sports-betting pools were common.
Book Synopsis Baseball's All-Time Best Sluggers by : Michael J. Schell
Download or read book Baseball's All-Time Best Sluggers written by Michael J. Schell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over baseball history, which park has been the best for run scoring?1 Which player would lose the most home runs after adjustments for ballpark effect?2 Which player claims four of the top five places for best individual seasons ever played, based on all-around offensive performance.3 (See answers, below). These are only three of the intriguing questions Michael Schell addresses in Baseball's All-Time Best Sluggers, a lively examination of the game of baseball using the most sophisticated statistical tools available. The book provides an in-depth evaluation of every major offensive event in baseball history, and identifies the players with the 100 best seasons and most productive careers. For the first time ever, ballpark effects across baseball history are presented for doubles, triples, right- and left-handed home-run hitting, and strikeouts. The book culminates with a ranking of the game's best all-around batters. Using a brisk conversational style, Schell brings to the plate the two most important credentials essential to producing a book of this kind: an encyclopedic knowledge of baseball and a professional background in statistics. Building on the traditions of renowned baseball historians Pete Palmer and Bill James, he has analyzed the most important factors impacting the sport, including the relative difficulty of hitting in different ballparks, the length of hitters' careers, the talent pool from which players are drawn, player aging, and changes in the game that have raised or lowered major-league batting averages. Schell's book finally levels the playing field, giving new credit to hitters who played in adverse conditions, and downgrading others who faced fewer obstacles. It also provides rankings based on players' positions. For example, Derek Jeter ranks 295th out of 1,140 on the best batters list, but jumps to 103rd in the position-adjusted list, reflecting his offensive prowess among shortstops. Replete with dozens of never-before reported stories and statistics, Baseball's All-Time Best Sluggers will forever shape the way baseball fans view the greatest heroes of America's national pastime.

Download or read book Fantasy Expert written by Ron Shandler and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining and incisive chronicle from one of the foremost authorities in fantasy baseball Ron Shandler is a self-described rotoholic. In the beginning, he hoarded newspaper box scores and pored over every number at his disposal. Then came the compulsion to create his own numbers. A monthly newsletter expanded into an annual Baseball Forecaster book, which spawned a media company, websites, tournaments, and more. Part memoir, part madcap history, Fantasy Expert is a fascinating and wide-ranging look at the modern growth and development of the game that went from cottage industry to national obsession. In chronicling his own escalating journey from rotisserie baseball hobbyist to professional authority, Shandler tells parallel tales of the rise of fantasy sports, the expanding baseball information industry, the increasingly sophisticated technology employed to gain an edge, and the fellow rotoholics who make it all possible. He also delves into the impact of fantasy baseball on the sport of baseball itself.Written with humor, honesty, and a deep passion for baseball, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, progression, and future of fantasy baseball.
Download or read book The Baseball 100 written by Joe Posnanski and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Winner of the CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year “An instant sports classic.” —New York Post * “Stellar.” —The Wall Street Journal * “A true masterwork…880 pages of sheer baseball bliss.” —BookPage (starred review) * “This is a remarkable achievement.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) A magnum opus from acclaimed baseball writer Joe Posnanski, The Baseball 100 is an audacious, singular, and masterly book that took a lifetime to write. The entire story of baseball rings through a countdown of the 100 greatest players in history, with a foreword by George Will. Longer than Moby-Dick and nearly as ambitious,? The Baseball 100 is a one-of-a-kind work by award-winning sportswriter and lifelong student of the game Joe Posnanski. In the book’s introduction, Pulitzer Prize–winning commentator George F. Will marvels, “Posnanski must already have lived more than two hundred years. How else could he have acquired such a stock of illuminating facts and entertaining stories about the rich history of this endlessly fascinating sport?” Baseball’s legends come alive in these pages, which are not merely rankings but vibrant profiles of the game’s all-time greats. Posnanski dives into the biographies of iconic Hall of Famers, unfairly forgotten All-Stars, talents of today, and more. He doesn’t rely just on records and statistics—he lovingly retraces players’ origins, illuminates their characters, and places their accomplishments in the context of baseball’s past and present. Just how good a pitcher is Clayton Kershaw in the 21st-century game compared to Greg Maddux dueling with the juiced hitters of the nineties? How do the career and influence of Hank Aaron compare to Babe Ruth’s? Which player in the top ten most deserves to be resurrected from history? No compendium of baseball’s legendary geniuses could be complete without the players of the segregated Negro Leagues, men whose extraordinary careers were largely overlooked by sportswriters at the time and unjustly lost to history. Posnanski writes about the efforts of former Negro Leaguers to restore sidelined Black athletes to their due honor and draws upon the deep troves of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and extensive interviews with the likes of Buck O’Neil to illuminate the accomplishments of players such as pitchers Satchel Paige and Smokey Joe Williams; outfielders Oscar Charleston, Monte Irvin, and Cool Papa Bell; first baseman Buck Leonard; shortstop Pop Lloyd; catcher Josh Gibson; and many, many more. The Baseball 100 treats readers to the whole rich pageant of baseball history in a single volume. Engrossing, surprising, and heartfelt, it is a magisterial tribute to the game of baseball and the stars who have played it.

Book Synopsis 2005 Fantasy Baseball Scouting Report: for 5x5 AL Only Leagues by : Henry Lee
Download or read book 2005 Fantasy Baseball Scouting Report: for 5x5 AL Only Leagues written by Henry Lee and published by Squeaky Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What differentiates this new series of books from the books and magazines people have used in the past is that each of the six books focuses on a different league - 5x5 mixed, AL-only, NL-only, 4x4 mixed, AL-only, and NL-only. The projections and dollar values for players can vary up to 50% from league to league. Drafting with the help of a magazine not tailored to your league specifications is a recipe for disaster - yet millions of people do so every year. With your Fantasy Scouting Report in hand, you can rest assured that your projections are accurate. Each book also has special Quick Lists designed to help you find what you need in the limited time you have between picks. Players are ranked by actual scoring category points so you can compare players intelligently and quickly. Categories like ERA, WHIP, and BA are weighted for IP and AB, vitally important but often overlooked. Also included is a unique quantitative analysis of the best prospects for 2005.
