Teaching Mathematics in Primary Schools

This book tells the extraordinary history of baseball in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, where the game was first mentioned in a legal document in 1791. In this western Massachusetts region, often captured in the iconic paintings of Norman Rockwell, the model for the sport as we now know it was born. Home to one of the oldest baseball stadiums in the country still in use, the Berkshires has contributed over one hundred major league players including two native born who are in the Baseball Hall of Fame. With over 40 rarely seen photographs and comprehensive lists and information on players, each turn of the page brings new appreciation for baseball as America's favorite pastime.

The Federal League formed in 1913 as an “outlaw league” in six cities across the Midwest. In 1914 it added two teams and declared itself a major league. The league’s owners “stole” players from the two existing major leagues and put teams in some of the same cities. Both the American and National Leagues struck back. After the 1915 season, with several Federal League teams struggling financially, the two more-established leagues bought out several teams. This caused the collapse of the Federal League.The impact of the Federal League on baseball is still felt today. The league filed one of the first antitrust lawsuits against Organized Baseball. The case ended up in the court of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who looms large in baseball history. Although that case was settled, a later lawsuit went all the way to the Supreme Court. The Court decided that baseball is entertainment and thus not subject to antitrust law. This decision has had a wide-ranging effect on the business of baseball. For a physical reminder of the Federal League, one can still see the ballpark built for the Chicago Whales, now known as Wrigley Field.This book contains biographies of a number of the key players and executives, and game accounts of some of the most interesting games during the league’s brief existence. The book represents the collaborative work of many SABR members. The enthusiasm for this book on the Federal League was so great that 54 members quickly signed up to make the book a reality.

What are Major League Baseball's greatest comeback games? This book set out to collect the stories of those games, but rather than throw together an anecdotally-determined collection of games, SABR decided to see if there was an objective measure, a way to determine which was the greatest comeback game of all time, and to rank the games. Retrosheet's Tom Ruane created a master list of 630 games and ranked them mathematically in terms of how unlikely the win was, and therefore how great the comeback had been. The games in this volume are presented in rank order, from number 1 through 64.We also added the greatest postseason comeback games. These seven contests are presented in a separate section devoted to postseason games. And to make sure that every current team in MLB was represented in this volume, we treated the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants as different from the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, and added the greatest comeback by the Colorado Rockies, Texas Rangers, and several other teams. In the end, every major-league team in represented in Baseball's Greatest Comeback Games, but the Phillies lead the list with six comeback wins in the top 64. Tied for second for most comebacks are four American League teams: the Red Sox, Indians, Tigers, and Yankees.This book was a team effort by 60 members of the Society for American Baseball Research, who researched and wrote about all 80 games presented herein.
