hostName = '.typepad.com'; The Baseball Boys Great Baseball Related Sites Aaron Gleeman At Least The Red Sox Have 1918 Baseball Almanac Baseball Blogs ... Main Jack "the Hack" Wilson and the Myth of the No. 2 Hitter (Pirates) During days of yore (OK - 1990), I bought a dice-and-card-based baseball simulation called Pursue the Pennant. My partner here at The Baseball Boys, Eric, and I used to play from time to time, along with our buddy Lando. The game served as a pretty accurate simulation and a fun time. Heck, it even made room for a bunch of crazy plays like hitting a bird with a batted ball. We would sit around the dining room table throwing dice around, making LaRussian pitching changes, and pulling sometimes ill-advised double switches. That game provided a great deal of my strategic knowledge of baseball. In playing Pursue the Pennant, I also continuously made another error. I batted Jay Bell second every time out, which is not so bad, because he was a decent hitter, but I wasted his decency by asking him to bunt and hit-and-run. I sacrificed a good hitter's opportunities by voluntarily turning them into outs. Why? Because that's what a No. 2 hitter does. I know better now. This brings me to the Jack Wilson issue. I've heard some folks calling for Wilson to regularly hit in the second spot and McClendon seems inclined to experiment in just such a vein. The argument seems to be that Wilson can get the bat on the ball and is a good bunter, so he can do the scrappy things like sacrificing and advancing the runner. Add to this the fact that he's hitting 414/419/690, and you've got yourself a nifty No. 2. Let me tell all of you, putting Wilson in the No. 2 spot is FOLLY.

BEER DRINKERS AND HELL RAISERS HACK WILSON He was all muscle: a barrel-chested powerhouse with blacksmith arms, and bulging thighs and calves on short legs that tapered to tiny feet. He had an 18" collar and size #6 shoe. Hack Wilson was a physical oddity in baseball and a physical phenomenon. Sporting 195 pounds on a 5'6" frame he was the prototype for a slugger in the new age of the lively ball.....a man who swung first and asked questions later! A man who was the perfect fit for the roaring twenties when excess were never considered to be too excessive, he was a man of extremes. There are two reasons for his nickname......one is that it was from George Hackenschmidt, an old-time wrestler, or from a resemblance to Lawrence H. "Hack" Miller, a player who preceded him in on the Cubs. Either way, the name was a perfect fit. The Cubs got Wilson from the Giants because of a clerical error. Sent by the Giants to their farm team at Toledo (AA) he was acquired in a postseason draft by the Cubs for $5,000. Giant protests to Commissioner Landis were denied and from that point on Wilson's career went on a rollercoaster ride. Batting cleanup in the Cubs' awesome lineup of hitters, he became one of the NL's most feared hitters.

How Hack Wilson ‘Fouled Away’ his baseball career March 26, 2000 Elisabeth Sherwin gizmo@ dcn.davis.ca.us In 1930, Chicago Cub Hack Wilson enjoyed one of baseball’s finest seasons ever, driving in 191 runs while hitting 56 homers, setting new records. Yet four years later Wilson was out of professional baseball. He died penniless at age 48 and few baseball fans today remember Hack Wilson. Local sportswriter Clifton Parker remembered Wilson. Parker has written a book called "Fouled Away: The Baseball Tragedy of Hack Wilson" (McFarland, $29.50, 2000). Parker grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa., in the same part of the country as Wilson. A graduate of Penn State and the University of Florida, Parker has always been a baseball fan. He is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research, a group devoted to statistical and historical research. "I could never hit a curve so I became a writer," he said. He ran his own business in Davis for several years, Parker Public Relations, and wrote some fantasy fiction on the side. "You find a link between fantasy and baseball," he said in a statement few coaches would dispute.

Other Resources History Inspired by the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at New York University, the Baseball Hall of Fame was established in 1936 with the selection of five players: Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, and Honus Wagner. The Baseball Writers Association of America (BWAA) chose eight more players for induction when the hall formally opened in Cooperstown, NY, on June 12, 1939. They were Grover Cleveland Alexander, Eddie Collins, Lou Gehrig, Willie Keeler, Napoleon Lajoie, George Sisler, Tris Speaker, and Cy Young. The location of the hall and the year of its opening were chosen because of the myth that Abner Doubleday had invented baseball at Cooperstown in 1839, although the myth had been pretty thoroughly discredited by the time the Hall of Fame opened. (See Doubleday Myth Elections were originally held at three-year intervals, in 1939, 1942, and 1945, but annual elections began in 1946. From 1958 through 1966, they were held every two years, then became annual once more in 1967.

Batting Notes: Rankings were based on seasons from 1893 to 1998 and more than 400 plate appearances (ab+bb+hpb) were required. Percents for AVG and SLG were based on at bats. Percents for 2B, 3B, HR, SO and BB were based on plate appearances. SB% was based on SB attempts and more than 25 SB's were required to qualify. OPS was based on AVG+SLG. Runs Created was based on Bill James' formula as follows: =(([h]+[bb]+[hpb]-[cs])*([h]+[2b]+2*[3b]+3*[hr]) +.26*([bb]-[ibb]+[hpb])+.52*([sh]+[sf]+sb])) /([ab]+[bb]+[hpb]+[sh]+[sf]) The purpose of his formula was to create the ultimate statistic characterizing the total offense production of a player. However, it favors players with more games played, so for example, George Brett's .390 batting avg season ranks as his 2nd most productive even though it was easily his most productive per plate appearance. So, I calculated OPS too for comparative purposes.

He pushed Owens back several times and then emphasized his feel- NEVER THIS was 65 wins and 42 losses with a 2.45 ERA. He did have a 3-1 record in World Series play. He lasted for seven years and died in 1980 and is forgotten for the most part by the baseball world. Well, maybe not. He retired and lived out his remaining days in Winston-Salem. He served as Forsyth County Sheriff and was fondly thought of by the local townspeople. When it came time to build a new Minor League ballpark there was only one name considered and so now the Winston-Salem Warthogs play in the Ernie Shore Sports Stadium. Some of the alumni who have played there you may have heard of: Wade Boggs, Cecil Cooper, Dwight Evans, Harvey Haddix, Sparky Lyle, Jim Lonborg, and Wilbur Wood. EVERY once in a while some baseball historian mentions his perfect game which is now not considered his, but that is every once in a long, long, while.

Richie Allen Richie "Dick" Allen finished his basketball career (1955-59) as Lawrence County's third all-time high scorer, with 1,931 points. As a minor league baseball player with Little Rock, Ark. in 1960, he was the first African-American to play in the Philadelphia Phillies organization. With the Chicago White Sox in 1972 under Manager Chuck Tanner, he was named the American League's Most Valuable Player, after leading the league with a .308 batting average, hitting 37 home runs and 28 doubles and batting in 133 runs.

Sign Our Guestbook STAN HACK Stats from www.baseball-reference.com For most of the past four decades, the Cubs have been riding roughshod, but it wasn't always so. During Stan Hack's 16 years with the club, they played in four World Series, and the happy-go-lucky hot corner man was a big part of that success. He was the top lead-off batter of the 1930's, scoring at least 100 runs seven times. He was a smooth fielder, with an accurate if not shotgun arm. Stan Hack had a lifetime average of .301 and hit .348 in those World Series. He was a great bunter, and twice led the league in steals. Unlike most hitters of that era, Hack hit well to all fields. The Cubs of that era were fairly stable; first base was Charley Grimm, followed by Phil Cavaretta, both Chicago legends (Grimm managed during much of Hack's career), Billy Herman, who came up about the same time as Hack at second, Billy Jurges at short and Hack at third.

40. Wilson's Lost RBI Has Historians Bothered baseball doesn t take a position itself on records, Thorn said. I can say there s a good case to be made for hack wilson s 191 RBIs. http://www.thedailystar.com/sports/1998/07/15/hack.html

Wednesday, July 15, 1998 Classifieds Community News Contacts Our Locale ... Sports Wilson's lost RBI has historians bothered Owen S. Good Cooperstown News Bureau Their official scorer made 10. Unless you understand what it means to give Wilson another RBI in 1930. That's the season when he gathered a major-league record 190, according to nearly every book in print since then. It should be 191, says a group of baseball researchers who have put a Cooperstown man in charge of getting baseball to accept the new total. "I think it's important that everything that happens in baseball should be kept very accurately," said Clifford Kachline, a former historian for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. And Juan Gonzalez of the Texas Rangers threatening the record this year is all the more reason to make the change now, he said. "With Gonzalez having a possibility," Kachline said, "it would be totally unfair to change the record afterward, that is, change the error, when it was known beforehand." At its annual convention in San Francisco last week, the Society for American Baseball Research's records committee asked Kachline, 76, to go forward with lobbying baseball and the major statistics houses that follow it to change the number.
