“The tradition of a baseball guide goes back to the 1860s and to Henry Chadwick, ‘Father Baseball.’ Through thick and (sometimes) thin, guides were published by the Spalding and Reach companies, by the Commissioner’s Office and by The Sporting News. Serious students of baseball can rejoice that the Emerald Guide project has stepped into the breach, reviving a custom without which we would all be the poorer.”
Gillette Gillette Palmer Palmer Nelson Turocy
“The Emerald Guide has earned its place within arm’s reach of my desk, since nearly every piece of last season’s baseball info can be found between its covers.”

THE EMERALD GUIDE TO BASEBALL 2014 vii
INTRODUCTION The Emerald Guide to Baseball is our attempt to fill the gap in the historical record created by the recent demise of the Sporting News Baseball Guide. First published in 1942, Sporting News Guide was truly the annual book of record for our National Pastime. It is our great privilege to document for posterity a slice of recent baseball history in our new book. The Emerald Guide is available in both a printed version and in a downloadable PDF format. The 2014 edition of the Emerald Guide runs nearly 600 pages and covers the season; it also includes a 2014 directory of Major League Baseball. Historically, the primary purpose of annual baseball guides has been the publication of the official league standings plus the official team and individual statistics for both Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball. Many other types of content have been included in the annual guides over the years, but these core statistics were always the book’s raison d’etre. Our new Emerald Guide follows faithfully in that tradition, containing the official batting, pitching, and fielding statistics for every team and every player in the Major Leagues plus extensive lists of league leaders. As with the TSN Guides, the Minor League Baseball section in our book includes the Mexican League but does not include independent leagues, foreign leagues, or winter leagues (aside from standings and leaders for the Dominican and Venezuelan Summer Leagues). Another key function that the annual guides have historically filled is presenting information on the upcoming major league season. The World Wide Web has become the place most fans look for such information in recent years, but it is still important for this information to be recorded for posterity. The Web is a wonderful tool but too much of its content is ephemeral. We are proud to publish in our new Emerald Guide an enormous amount of information that was never included between the covers of the old TSN Guides. We hope you like the editorial mix we chose. Our book does not include every type of information that the old Sporting News Guides printed, however.
DIRECTORY AND 2014 MAJOR LEAGUE PREVIEW Contact information for Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball, and many other related organizations important to the baseball community is contained in the Directory section. The 2014 edition of the Emerald Guide includes the following information for each major league team: • Schedules for spring training and the 2014 regular season; • Front office directories, including executive officers and baseball operations staff; • Minor league affiliates, including managers and coaches; • Spring training rosters, including non-roster invitees; • Radio, television, and cable TV broadcast information, including Spanish-language broadcasts; and • The most comprehensive lists of career batting and pitching leaders for each franchise ever printed in an annual guide.
2013 SEASON IN REVIEW This section begins with a substantive essay documenting the major events in the world of baseball in 2014, both on and off the field. Also included are: • Detailed standings and breakdowns; • Complete batting/pitching/fielding statistics; • Top qualifiers and department leaders; • Active career leader boards; • Notable performances; • Day-by-day game logs; • All-Star Game box score and play-by-play; • Postseason box scores and play-by-play accounts; • Postseason register; • Umpires roster; • Transactions logs; • Coverage of the June first-year player draft; • Major league debuts; and finally, • The most detailed baseball necrology ever published.
EXPANDED STANDINGS Expanded Standings for the major leagues and include team home/ away records, records in one-run and extra inning games, records vs. LHP/RHP, records vs. each division, in interleague play, and vs. each opponent. Also shown for the NL and AL are total and average attendance, head-to-head Won-Lost records, and head-to-head Runs Scored/Runs Allowed data. Final wildcard standings are shown with each team’s expected win total and “luck” calculation. Also listed are club payrolls (from Cot’s Baseball Contracts) and the franchise values as reported annually by Forbes magazine. The 2014 Ballpark Factors are calculated by Pete Palmer of ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia. [NOTE: Interleague games are not included in the ballpark factor computations.] Similar, though less extensive information is presented for each minor league.
BATTING, PITCHING AND FIELDING STATISTICS Comprehensive team and individual batting statistics include separate listings for designated hitters and pinch hitting. Regarding players with stints for multiple clubs, statistics are broken out separately, as well as showing thier season totals summed. The alphabetic listing includes pitcher batting results and is followed by the names of those who appeared in games without garnering a plate appearance. Fielding statistics are broken out by position. Leader boards in over 45 batting and pitching categories show the Top Five performers in each major league. Minor league leader boards cover 42 batting and pitching categories.
ACTIVE CAREER LEADER BOARDS The Top 25 active career batting and pitching leaders are also listed in 62 major categories.
TRANSACTIONS Transactions Logs contain all moves pertaining to each club’s 40-player roster, listed chronologically.

THE EMERALD GUIDE TO BASEBALL 2014
DAY-BY-DAY GAME LOGS Day-by-Day Game Logs summarize the most comprehensive set of daily data to appear in print for each club, including Runs Scored, Runs Allowed, Hits, Hits Allowed, Errors, Relative Position in Standings, Streaks, Day/Night, Attendance, Multiple Pitchers of Record, and Home Team Home Runs. A separate table lists each teamís games started by position as well as its most frequent lineup used.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS Outstanding pitching and batting performances are documented with the date of occurance shown. A table follows that lists records set and records tied by individuals and clubs, plus individual career milestones of note.
ALL-STAR GAME AND POSTSEASON Box scores and play-by-play accounts are shown for the Midsummer Classic and all games of the Fall Classic. Box scores for Division and Championship Series games are included as well as composite postseason registers for batters and pitchers.
MAJOR LEAGUE DEBUTS The Major League Debut section contains all players who made their first big-league appearance in 2014. The players are listed by club, with date of birth, place of birth, position, height/weight, bats/throws, and signing data (date, draft year, round, overall pick number, and recommending scout).
FIRST-YEAR PLAYER DRAFT The First-Year Player Draft includes a complete listing of players (mostly amateur) selected in the annual June cavalcade, including their full name, date of birth, height/weight, bats/throws, position, school, level, and bonus amount (if known).
NECROLOGY The Emerald Guide necrology documents the passing of each major leaguer with a brief baseball epitaph, not merely a regurgitation of a statistical line. The minor league necrology is the most thorough ever published. Among other features, it recognizes the military service of the deceased players.
UMPIRE REGISTER The Umpire Register shows the full name, date of birth, place of birth, debut year, crew assignment, uniform number, ejections, and number of games broke out by position for all active men in blue.
SIDEBARS Throughout the Emerald Guide, we have included other significant historical information for reference purposes. A list of these sidebars appears at the end of the Table of Contents. Sidebars include the annual award winners for the Baseball Writers’ Association of America awards with voting totals. Other important major league and minor league awards, including those from the Sporting News and Baseball America are also shown.
Winners of the Most Valuable Player, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year awards are listed. Ex Post Facto selections for MVPs, Pitchers of the Year, and Rookies of the Year are included, as picked by the editors of the ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, for every year and league in which those awards were not originally given. Other sidebars include a listing of all members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame (sorted by type of election and year inducted) as well as results of each World Series, League Championship Series, and Division Series. Also included is a historical listing of top selections of the First-Year Player Draft, with bonus amounts.
HISTORY OF ANNUAL BASEBALL GUIDES Since professional league play began in 1876, there have been dozens of different types of annual baseball books that have used the term guide in their titles. However, to a well-read baseball fan, the term annual guide normally refers to a series of official or quasi-official books that published the official batting, pitching, and fielding statistics for both the minor leagues and major leagues for the previous season. The most important series of annual baseball guides were: • The Spalding Guides, 1876–1939; • The Reach Guides, 1883–1939; • The combined Spalding-Reach Guides, 1940–41; and • The Sporting News Guides, 1942–2006. Note that the season covered in each guide was the year before the publication/cover date. Also note that the titles for these annual guides often changed over the years. For example, the Sporting News series of guides had five different titles from 1942 through 2006. All except the first edition in 1942—which was entitled the Official Baseball Record Book—contained the phrase “baseball guide.” The Spalding Guides from 1908–1924 did not contain minor league statistics. During this period; Spalding also published annual Spalding Record books, which contained the missing minor league information as well as somewhat less major league coverage. The unofficial 1943 Baseball Guide and Record Book published by the Sporting News truncated its minor league statistics. Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis put out a very extensive official guide for 1943 that was complete. Barnes also published an official baseball guide in 1945 (covering both the 1943 and 1944 seasons) and in 1946.

THE NATIONAL GAME: 2013 YEAR IN REVIEW BY GARY GILLETTE WITH STUART SHEA
Despite experiencing goodly portions of both controversy and scandal, the Grand Old Game ended 2013 in pretty good shape. Financially, baseball has unquestionably never been healthier. Off the field, MLB fought back hard to assert its authority and to preserve its image when the Biogenesis scandal broke and when Alex Rodriguez challenged the commissioner’s authority after being suspended. On the field, the 2013 division races and postseason were not nearly as exciting as a year earlier. The Boston–St. Louis 2013 World Series, however, was dramatically more compelling than 2012’s lackluster Fall Classic. The lack of close races was offset by an extra helping of small-market teams qualifying for the postseason—especially Pittsburgh, which enjoyed its first winning season and its first October baseball in 20 long years.
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
With lucrative new national television contracts set to begin in 2014, and with several clubs anticipating a windfall from their upcoming local TV rights negotiations, baseball’s management and players were very optimistic about their future prosperity. The dark lining to that silver cloud was the continuing signs of the National Pastime’s shaky popularity, even if they have apparently not yet hurt the sport’s bottom line.
BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS The new year had hardly finished ringing its bell when baseball activity resumed after its traditional late-December hiatus. On January 2, the Cubs announced the signing of 29-year-old starting pitcher Edwin Jackson to a four-year, $52 million contract that many thought excessive; the veteran right-hander’s performance in the first year of the deal (8–18, 4.98) did nothing to dispel such criticism. Five days later, the Rangers took a flier on 37-year-old Lance Berkman, signing the DH–first baseman for a year. Berkman provided little punch for their $10 million investment, turning in his poorest offensive performance since his debut in 1999. A slightly more successful comeback-type signing came the following day, when Cleveland inked starting pitcher Scott Kazmir to a minor-league contract. At 29, the well-traveled southpaw made the team and went 10-9 with a surprising 4.04 ERA. The transaction wires went largely quiet until January 16, when the Mariners, Athletics, and Nationals pulled off a three-team swap. Seattle shipped catcher John Jaso to Oakland, which sent pitching prospects A.J. Cole, Blake Treinen, and Ian Krol to Washington. The Nats sent outfielder Mike Morse back to Seattle, where he had made his big-league debut in 2005. While Jaso was helpful to Oakland, the Nats clearly did the best in the trade. The following day, Washington further beefed up its pitching, signing free-agent closer Rafael Soriano for two years ($22 million), with a vesting option for a third season. On January 21, Cleveland again lucked out with a Triple-A deal, signing free-agent Ryan Raburn. Cut loose by Detroit after 2012, the infielder-outfielder played for just $1 million while hitting .272 with 16 homers in 86 games and parlaying his performance into a new two-year agreement. Three days later, the Braves stole the headlines, acquiring outfielder Justin Upton and third baseman Chris Johnson from Arizona in exchange for third baseman Martin Prado, pitching prospects Randall Delgado and Zeke Spruill, and two minor-league infielders. Two weeks earlier, Upton had refused a trade to Seattle. He and brother B.J., a free agent newly signed by the Braves, were expected to add dynamism to Atlanta’s offense. While Justin hit creditably, his older brother suffered through a nightmare campaign. Johnson had a surprise breakout campaign at age 28, batting .321/.358/.457. Prado manned third base capably for the Diamondbacks, while Delgado showed promise when inserted into the rotation. By the time February rolled around, few key free agents remained unsigned. The Mets didn’t sign any of them but did add veteran outfielder Marlon Byrd
for a $700,000 pittance on the first of the month. Byrd, at age 36, enjoyed a solid comeback season with New York and Pittsburgh. Oakland and Houston consummated a trade on February 4. The Athletics acquired shortstop Jed Lowrie and reliever Fernando Rodriguez from the Astros in exchange for power-hitting first baseman Chris Carter, catching prospect Max Stassi, and young hurler Brad Peacock. It was a classic present-versus-future kind of deal, with Billy Beane’s club filling a hole at shortstop and the Astros stocking up. The 26-year-old Carter hit 29 homers for offensively-strapped Houston but batted .223 and led the majors by striking out 212 times. Peacock was hit hard in 14 starts, while Stassi continued to develop in the minors as a power-hitting receiver. The metrics did not rate Lowrie as a good shortstop, but he provided solid offense (.290/.344/.446). Rodriguez did not appear in the majors after suffering an elbow injury in spring training. Two major signings were announced on February 8. The Mariners, deciding it would be wiser to lock up pitcher Felix Hernandez sooner rather than later, cancelled the final two years (2013–14) of his contract and signed their star right-hander to a new seven-year, $175 million contract. It was the richest deal for a pitcher ever; the beneficiary, “King Felix,” turned 27 two months later. On the same day, the Pittsburgh Pirates made their most significant offseason move, signing free-agent pitcher Francisco Liriano. The two sides had agreed on a contract in December 2012 but, after Liriano broke his right (non-throwing) arm, the Pirates voided the deal. Eventually they settled on a two-year deal worth $7 million, all but a million of which was to be paid in 2014. Despite starting the year on the DL, Liriano—who had gone 6–12 with two clubs in 2012—was a big surprise in 2013, pacing the Bucs with 16 wins and a 3.02 ERA and capturing NL Comeback Player of the Year honors. In mid-February, the last arbitration-eligible player signed a contract meaning that, for the first time since 1977 (when arbitration proceedings were suspended as MLB and the players’ union negotiated the new system of free agency), no arbitration case went to a hearing in the 2012–13 offseason. In the previous five years, fewer than six arbitration hearings were held per season on average. The Indians made a splash on February 15 when they corralled free-agent outfielder Michael Bourn, one of the last remaining big names on the market. Bourn, having just turned 30, signed for four years and $48 million with a vesting option for 2017. Unfortunately, Bourn did not enjoy a good season at bat, posting a .316 OBP and stealing only 23 bases in 35 tries. On February 22, the White Sox traded organizational pitcher Jeff Soptic to the Giants for spare cornerman Conor Gillaspie. The 26-year-old Gillaspie, a former first-round pick, trapped behind Pablo Sandoval on the Giants’ depth chart, ended up Chicago’s regular third baseman. Taking it down to the wire was free-agent pitcher Kyle Lohse, who didn’t sign with Milwaukee until March 25. The 34-year-old Lohse, who had topped the NL in starts and winning percentage with the Cardinals in 2012, inked a three-year, $33 million pact. He went 11–10 with a 3.35 ERA for the Brewers. Desperate for offensive help, the Yankees on March 26 packed off two minor-leaguers in exchange for outfielder Vernon Wells, who had been relegated to a bench role with the Angels. Wells, 34 and due $42 million in the last two years of a 10-year contract he had signed with the Blue Jays, fashioned an early-season hot streak for the Yankees but ended the season with very weak stats. Even before clubs convened for spring training, injuries began to pile up. In addition to Liriano’s January broken arm, several other players suffered.
2013 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON IN REVIEW
69
Twins pitcher Carl Pavano ruptured his spleen shoveling snow at his Vermont home in late January, had the damaged organ removed, and missed the 2013 season while recuperating from the life-threatening accident.
missed most of the 2013 campaign as well after his offseason hip surgery, and Curtis Granderson and Phillip Hughes also began their seasons with disabling injuries that hampered their performances.
Cardinals hurler Chris Carpenter, sidelined for most of 2012 due to thoracic outlet syndrome, began feeling renewed symptoms while trying to throw in February 2013. The veteran hurler was unable to answer the bell and eventually missed the entire season, after which he announced his retirement.
Other name players who started the season disabled, and were hampered all year by their injuries, included Florida first baseman Logan Morrison, Pittsburgh pitcher Charlie Morton, San Diego third baseman Chase Headley, and Toronto infielder Brett Lawrie.
The Yankees had already placed Alex Rodriguez on the disabled list following offseason hip surgery, and the Oakland Athletics knew that pitcher Bartolo Colon would begin the year on the suspended list due to his 50-game penalty after a failed drug test.
In the Reds’ spring camp, closer Aroldis Chapman’s desire to start caused a ruckus before a much more serious note was struck on March 24, when third base coach Mark Berry was diagnosed with cancer of the tonsils and lymph nodes. Berry underwent treatment and remained with the club all year.
Cardinals shortstop Rafael Furcal, whose 2012 season ended in August with a strained elbow, underwent the Tommy John procedure in early March, missing the entire 2013 season.
Several prominent baseball figures retired before Opening Day 2013. Umpires Derryl Cousins (who had worked in MLB since 1986), Tim Tschida (in the majors since 1986), and Ed Rapuano (big-league arbiter since 1990) announced their retirements on March 7. Cousins had umpired the seventh-highest number of games in major league history.
Milwaukee cornerman Mat Gamel, out since May 2012 with a torn knee ligament, reinjured the surgically repaired knee in mid-March and missed the entire season. In addition, outfielder Corey Hart began the 2013 campaign on the DL after a knee procedure which eventually shelved him for the entire season. The Phillies released infielder Yuniesky Betancourt on March 24. Three days later, the shorthanded Brewers signed the well-traveled infielder and used him in 137 games. In late March, the Braves disabled pitcher Brandon Beachy and catcher Brian McCann, both of whom had undergone surgeries in 2012. McCann returned quickly, but Beachy, whose surgery had sidelined him for much of the 2012 campaign, could only manage to make five late-season starts in 2013. White Sox hurler John Danks, recovering from 2012 shoulder surgery, began the year on the DL and was not right (4–14, 4.75) when he returned to action. “Tommy John” elbow ligament transplant surgery claimed many pitchers in 2013. The Cardinals’ season began with a thud as closer Jason Motte, who had led the NL with 42 saves in 2012, was disabled March 29 with a right elbow strain that was eventually diagnosed as a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He missed the entire season, but St. Louis was able to patch together a good enough bullpen to win the NL pennant anyway. Another closer, Ryan Madson, signed with the Angels and was expected to contribute after having his elbow rebuilt in 2012, when he spent the season on the DL with the Reds. But Madson never fully recovered and was released in August without pitching in a game for Los Angeles. The Atlanta Braves lost a key piece of their bullpen when Jonny Venters went down in spring training with a torn elbow ligament. Surgery sidelined him all year. Miami’s Juan Oviedo (formerly known as Leo Nunez) missed the entire season while recovering from his 2012 Tommy John procedure. He has not played in the majors since 2011. The Dodgers’ pitching suffered for much of 2013, partly because Chad Billingsley could make just two starts in between opening the season disabled with a sore elbow and getting an elbow ligament transplant. Neftali Feliz of the Rangers, who underwent Tommy John surgery in late 2012, began the season on the DL. He returned earlier than expected in September and made six scoreless relief appearances. Joakim Soria, also of Texas, began the year recuperating from his 2012 elbow surgery, but eventually pitched 26 times. In what was a prelude to a lost season, the Mets opened the season with pitchers Johan Santana, Jenrry Mejia, Scott Rice, Shawn Marcum, and Frank Francisco on the DL. None but Rice ended up making significant positive contributions, and Santana’s career looked like it was over. The Yankees didn’t fare much better. Derek Jeter’s fractured ankle, suffered in the 2012 postseason, hampered him all season as the Yankees’ great was disabled three separate times. Mark Teixeira started the year disabled and played just 15 games because of a serious wrist injury. Alex Rodriguez
Yankees great Mariano Rivera went out on his own terms, announcing in the spring his intention to retire following the 2013 season, thus setting the stage for a celebratory farewell tour around the majors. Injuries forced pitchers Brandon Webb of Arizona, who twice led the NL in wins and who won the 2006 NL Cy Young award, to call it quits at age 33 on February 1. Kevin Millwood, who won 169 games in his 16-year career, hung ‘em up on February 13, the same day that 37-year-old infielder Julio Lugo announced his intention to retire. Veteran catcher Brian Schneider also announced his retirement in February, as did first baseman Nick Johnson, never able to regain his stroke following years battling wrist injuries. A passel of veterans were released in spring training and did not appear in the majors in 2013, including Rod Barajas, Matt Capps, Aaron Cook, Chone Figgins, Bill Hall, Rodrigo Lopez, Joe Mather, Xavier Nady, Garrett Olson, Ronny Paulino, Juan Rivera, George Sherrill, and pitcher Chris Young. Meanwhile, the comeback attempts of Jolbert Cabrera, Ramon Castro, Bobby Crosby, Kelvim Escobar, Mike Jacobs, Jason Lane (hoping to return as a pitcher), Dallas McPherson, and Corey Patterson ended with spring training releases. Safety was a major topic during the spring. First, batters were mandated (by the 2011 CBA) to wear the new, safer, and somewhat larger batting helmets to protect against head injuries. The excess weight of the helmets caused some pushback, but all players had to wear them unless they were already using a double-ear-flap model. Developing a protective cap liner for pitchers was a goal the commissioner’s office had hoped to accomplish by the start of 2013 season, but by the end of spring training MLB was not satisfied with the progress on the new product. Communication between some non-native pitchers and their catchers, coaches, and managers in 2013 was facilitated when the commissioner’s office in March approved the use of interpreters during mound visits. The spring ended with news of megadeals for two popular superstars. The Tigers and 30-year-old pitcher Justin Verlander agreed on March 29 to a contract extension from 2015 through 2019 for $140 million, making the Detroit ace the highest-paid pitcher (per year). Verlander’s contract also has a $22 million vesting option for 2020, contingent on the number of appearances he makes. Buster Posey, the 2012 NL MVP, signed his own record-breaking extension the same day with the Giants that ranked as the biggest ever for a player with fewer than four years of service. Posey, 26, will earn $167 million over the nine-year span, with payments escalating to $21.4 million each season from 2018–21. It included a club option for 2022.
HALL OF FAME The picturesque village of Cooperstown’s annual midsummer festivities were notably flat in 2013 as, for the first time since 1960, no living person

was inducted into the Hall of Fame. The three posthumous honorees, moreover, were so remote as to inspire only tepid interest, especially when compared to the hoopla around the late Ron Santo’s induction a year earlier. Though the Hall announced attendance of 2,500 at the induction ceremony, estimates by others were 1,000 or fewer. A rain delay at the ceremony’s start didn’t help, though it did seem fitting. (Estimates of typical attendance at the July induction range from ten to twenty thousand.) Despite a crop of well-credentialed players on the BBWAA ballot, including first-timers Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, the writers failed to elect anyone to the Hall in 2013. The low level of support for the two controversial superstars—Bonds named on 36.2% of the ballots, Clemens on 37.6%—was about the same.
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
It was the first time since 1996 that the writers did not anoint anyone for enshrinement. Holdover Jeff Bagwell (third year of eligibility) gained a few votes to reach 59.6%, as did Tim Raines (sixth year, 52.2%). The highest vote-getters in the polling were second baseman–outfielder Craig Biggio, named on 68.2% of the ballots in his first year, and pitcher Jack Morris, with 67.7% support in his 14th and penultimate year. Other superstars who made their debut on the bronze ballot in 2013 were catcher Mike Piazza (57.8%), pitcher Curt Schilling (38.8%), and outfielder Sammy Sosa (12.5%). Two other big-name sluggers of the Steroids Era saw their already weak support drop further in 2013. Mark McGwire received only 16.9% approval in his seventh go-round, while Rafael Palmeiro dropped to only 8.8% in his third year—perilously close to the 5% minimum that would trigger removal from the writers’ ballot, a fate his former Rangers teammate, twotime AL MVP Juan Gonzalez, suffered after 2012. Elected by the Pre-Integration Committee in December 2012, Deacon White, Hank O’Day, and Jacob Ruppert posthumously received their bronze plaques on July 28. Also honored that weekend were 2013 Ford C. Frick Award winner Tom Cheek and J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner Paul Hagen. White was one of baseball’s earliest superstars. As a standout catcher and third baseman, he played with nine different clubs in three leagues from 1871–1890 and was a pioneer in many elements of the early game. White led the National Association in batting in 1875, then topped the young National League in batting with a .387 mark in 1877 as the first baseman of the pennant-winning Boston Red Stockings. As the oldest player in the league, White was a regular on the world champion 1887 Detroit Wolverines. O’Day was one of the most famous umpires in baseball history, suiting up for more than 4,000 games, including the first modern World Series in 1903 and 10 World Series overall. He called balls and strikes over an astounding span of 41 years from 1884–1927 and was the home plate umpire during the infamous “Merkle’s boner” game in 1908. O’Day pitched in the majors from 1884–1890, playing a prominent role in the 1889 NL pennant race. His full-time umpiring career began in 1897, taking a couple of seasons “off” to manage the Reds (1912) and Cubs (1914). As co-owner of the New York Yankees from 1915–23, and as sole owner until his death in January 1939, Jacob Ruppert built a second-rate franchise into the most famous and dominant in the game. He purchased Babe Ruth from the Red Sox, hired future Hall of Fame executive Ed Barrow away from the Red Sox, installed future Hall of Fame manager Miller Huggins in the Yanks’ dugout, and built Yankee Stadium. Ruppert’s Bronx Bombers won 10 AL pennants and seven World Series. Cheek, the late voice of the Blue Jays, broadcast every Toronto game on radio from the club’s debut in 1977 through June 2004. He underwent emergency brain surgery in the middle of the 2004 season, returned to the mike later that season, but passed away in 2005. Hagen has covered the National Game for almost four decades, mostly while based in Philadelphia. Currently a columnist for MLB.com, the hardworking Hagen was the national baseball writer for the Philadelphia Daily News for a decade, after spending 15 years as the feisty tabloid’s Phillies’ beat writer.
In early September, the Hall of Fame announced a restructuring of the its Ford C. Frick Award selection procedures, modeled after the 2010 restructuring of the way managers, executives, umpires, and long-retired players are considered. The three eras defined were the “Broadcasting Dawn Era” from the 1920s through the early 1950s, the “Living Room Era” from the mid-1950s through the early 1980s, and the “High Tide Era” from the mid-1980s to the present. Nominees from each era will be considered on a rotating basis every third year. The 2014 Frick Award will come from the High Tide Era. In December, at the 2013 Winter Meetings, the Golden Era Committee elected three accomplished and popular managers to the Hall of Fame: Bobby Cox, Joe Torre, and Tony La Russa. The distinguished managerial careers of each of these three skippers began in the late 1970s. Cox managed for 29 seasons with the Blue Jays and Braves, winning five NL pennants and one world championship in Atlanta. Torre also managed for 29 years with the Mets, Braves, Cardinals, Yankees, and Dodgers; he was the helmsman for six AL pennant-winners with New York. Torre’s Bronx Bombers also won four World Series in five years from 1996–2000. La Russa was the lonely man in the dugout for an amazing 33 years with the White Sox, Athletics, and Cardinals. He won three AL pennants and one world championship in his second act with Oakland from 1988–90; in his third act, he fared even better, winning three NL pennants and two World Series in St. Louis in the 21st century. The 2014 Spink and Frick Award winners, writer Roger Angell and broadcaster Eric Nadel, were also announced at the 2013 Winter Meetings. They will be honored at the Hall of Fame’s Awards Presentation in Cooperstown the day before the 2014 Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. Angell, a New Yorker magazine senior editor, has written eloquently about baseball for more than half a century in that literary magazine as well as in many books. He was the first non-BBWAA writer ever to receive a Spink Award. Nadel has broadcast Texas games for the last 35 years, beginning in 1979. He has worked exclusively on radio since 1982 and been the radio voice of the Rangers since he was promoted to the lead chair in Arlington in 1995. A year that began with the shock of the writers’ shutout of Steroids Era candidates ended with a resumption of the roiling controversy when speculation during the final months of 2013 about the 2014 BBWAA vote was both overheated and overwrought. Even though baseball fans seem to care less and less about steroids now that PED testing has been greatly enhanced, now that offense has declined dramatically from its 2000 apogee, and now that the big boppers of the 1990s and early 2000s have retired, baseball writers and Hall of Famers can’t seem to wean themselves from making sweeping moral judgments about the fitness of PED users, both adjudicated and admitted. In January 2013, the lede of the Associated Press story about the BBWAA election was the dramatic statement, “Nobody was happier about the Hall of Fame shutout than the Hall of Famers themselves.” Furthermore, when ESPN.com posted the AP story, it featured this pull-quote from Hall of Famer Goose Gossage: “If they let these guys in ever—at any point—it’s a big black eye for the Hall and for baseball. It’s like telling our kids you can cheat, you can do whatever you want, and it’s not going to matter.” Hall of Famer Al Kaline was more reasonable and temperate in his comments in the AP piece. “I’m kind of glad that nobody got in this year. I feel honored to be in the Hall of Fame. And I would’ve felt a little uneasy sitting up there on the stage, listening to some of these new guys talk about how great they were. “I don’t know how great some of these players up for election would’ve been without drugs. But to me, it’s cheating. Numbers are important, but so is integrity and character. Some of these guys might get in someday. But for a year or two, I’m glad they didn’t.”

Kaline’s attitude seemed to be less popular than Gossage’s sentiments, which were completely in line with the feelings of many pundits, especially in the older cohorts. Others, however, either rejected consideration of real or suspected PED usage as irrelevant to the Cooperstown question, or else they adopted an attitude something like, “So what? Cheating is as old as baseball itself.”
It was clear that Major League Baseball was playing hardball; why anyone should have been surprised is the only question. Combined with the excellent reporting and the incriminating records revealed by the New Times and documents acquired by investigators, the techniques worked quite well. By early June, Bosch had agreed to cooperate with MLB; the rest was a foregone conclusion.
Speculation—both reasonable and wild—about suspected users fanned the flames, and the smoldering debate surrounding the 2013 BBWAA election roared back to life as the year ended and the 2014 BBWAA election loomed. A full-fledged, steroids-enhanced, toxic baseball cultural war blazed, with the public perception of the Grand Old Game’s legacy at stake.
The ultimate result was the suspension of 14 players, seven major-leaguers and seven minor-leaguers, all of whom had at least a little bit of previous big-league experience. Twelve suspensions were announced by MLB on August 5; all 12 agreed to accept 50-game suspensions, so there were no appeals and no protestations of innocence afterward.
PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS Though PEDs were in the baseball news for most of 2013, Major League Baseball’s reputation seemed to escape largely unscathed. In fact, the furor around the Hall of Fame election and the seamy details of the Biogenesis scandal might actually have diminished the taint of the Steroids Era even further. Another January event that helped MLB’s image was Lance Armstrong’s long-awaited public admission that he had doped and cheated in multiple ways throughout his record-setting cycling career. Armstrong’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, broadcast on January 17, answered some questions, skipped over a lot of others, and generally made baseball’s PED problems look a helluva lot better in comparison. On January 10, MLB and the Players Association announced significant new efforts to strengthen their joint program to deter and detect usage of performance-enhancing drugs. The headlines mostly mentioned the new program for random blood testing during the season for human growth hormone (hGH). This was a first for a major sports league and a logical third step, as MLB had first implemented random blood tests for hGH in the minor leagues in 2010. The second step was effected in 2012 as part of the new Basic Agreement, with random blood tests of major-leaguers during the offseason and during spring training, plus hGH tests for reasonable cause at any time. Less well-covered by the media, but probably as important, was the implementation of “longitudinal testing,” whereby MLB would collaborate with the World Anti-Doping Agency’s Montreal laboratory to establish and store baseline Testosterone-to-Epitestosterone (T/E) ratios for players. Those profiles will make detecting doping via exogenous testosterone much easier. Just when the Hall of Fame debate had simmered down, a new story broke that would remain in the headlines all year. On January 29, the weekly paper Miami New Times ran a piece that alleged an “East Coast version of BALCO” had been supplying more than a dozen major-leaguers, along with athletes in other sports, with PEDs. All the baseball players named initially were Latino; most had connections to Miami—many to the University of Miami and its famed baseball program. The Biogenesis “anti-aging clinic” was run by Anthony Bosch, a slippery person with a sketchy past who was not a doctor, though he acted like one. The clinic, permanently closed by the time the piece ran, was located across a major highway from the Miami campus. Major League Baseball issued a statement the same day saying, “[W]e have been actively involved in the issues in South Florida. It is important to note that three of the players allegedly involved have already been disciplined under the Joint Drug Program.” The trio—unnamed by MLB but named by the New Times—were Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon, and Yasmani Grandal, all of whom had been slapped with suspensions in 2012. MLB’s wide-ranging Biogenesis investigation spawned a ton of reports and rumors, including allegations that the commissioner’s office was bullying potential witnesses and buying documents. In March, MLB’s lawyers stepped up the pressure on Bosch and his associates by suing them under the novel theory that, by providing PEDs to players, Biogenesis was guilty of “tortious interference with MLB’s contractual relationships.”
The August 5 suspensions included three active big-league regulars (Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera, Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, and Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta), one active big-league relief pitcher (Phillies Antonio Bastardo), one disabled big-leaguer (Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli), six active minor-leaguers (pitcher Fautino De Los Santos at Double-A in the Padres’ system, pitcher Sergio Escalona at Double-A in the Astros’ organizations, catcher Jesus Montero at Triple-A for the Mariners, outfielder Fernando Martinez at Triple-A in the Yankees’ chain, outfielder Cesar Puello at Double-A in the Mets’ farm system, infielder Jordany Valdespin at Triple-A with the Mets), and one former minor-leaguer (pitcher Jordan Norberto, released by the Athletics earlier in 2013). The two biggest names ensnared by the scandal were former MVPs Ryan Braun and Alex Rodriguez. Braun had already accepted a suspension for the rest of the 2013 season on July 22, meaning he would miss 65 games. Rodriguez maintained his innocence and vowed to fight MLB house-to-house via the arbitration process in the Basic Agreement, via the legal system, and via the court of public opinion. Due to his appeal, Rodriguez was able to continue to play for the rest of the season. Braun ‘fessed up in the limited, carefully managed way of celebrities with expensive and experienced public relations advisers. The memory of Braun’s full-throated lies as he gamed the system and defended his supposed chastity a year earlier after failing an October test engendered a storm criticism of his relatively light punishment. At the time of his suspension, the Brewers were stuck in last place, 19 games back in the NL Central, and Braun was dealing with a thumb injury that had earlier disabled him for a month. The Brewers’ slugger was the target of criticism for initially acknowledging mistakes without any specificity; the opprobrium was so widespread and so severe that Braun issued a much more contrite and detailed statement exactly one month later. The biggest announcement on August 5 was the unprecedented suspension of superstar Alex Rodriguez for the rest of the 2013 season as well as for all of 2014. The effect would have been a 211-game ban, plus any postseason games, except that Rodriguez chose to appeal. MLB’s statement said, “Rodriguez’s discipline under the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including Testosterone and human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years. Rodriguez’s discipline under the Basic Agreement is for attempting to cover-up his violations of the Program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the . . . investigation.” Rodriguez was already suffering through a miserable 2013, which followed his humiliating performance in the 2012 postseason. Surgery in January on his left hip had put him on the DL. His name was intimately linked to Bosch and Biogenesis in many reports and rumors, and Rodriguez was accused of trying to sabotage MLB’s investigation. A planned minor-league rehab assignment in late June had descended into farce well before A-Rod injured his left quad on the last day of rehab in late July. The club and A-Rod, along with their platoons of lawyers and doctors, disagreed publicly and privately on many things. The team and Rodriguez traded inflammatory charges and countercharges about

his injuries and readiness to play for more than a month, as a continuing drumbeat of reports indicated that MLB’s Biogenesis suspension announcement was looming. After a short second rehab stint in early August, A-Rod returned to the Yankees lineup on the day his suspension was announced. While awaiting his appeal hearing, Rodriguez played third and DH’ed for New York with a batting line that was about the same as his mediocre 2012—that is, far below what is expected of the highest-paid player in history. The Rodriguez arbitration hearing began on September 30, generating waves of new headlines and oceans of new leaks before, during, and after. A-Rod and his retinue were not shy about making invidious allegations about MLB on the record in various media, provoking generally more temperate but definitely snarky replies. The MLBPA, believing Rodriguez’s suspension to be overly harsh, was forced to endure silently the histrionics as it attempted to defend one of its member’s rights.
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
Before the complicated hearing was a week old, Rodriguez had filed suits in state courts against MLB over its Biogenesis investigation practices and against the Yankees’ team doctor over A-Rod’s hip injury. In November, when the hearing resumed, Rodriguez’s attorneys tried to go nuclear by forcing Commissioner Selig to testify in person. When their request was denied, A-Rod stormed out of the hearing and aired his anger at length on New York’s WFAN radio. The hearing was adjourned on November 22, with arbitrator Fredric Horowitz expected to announce his decision sometime in January. Two days after the hearing concluded, the Cardinals signed free-agent shortstop Jhonny Peralta to a four-year, $53 million deal—the largest ever for a player previously suspended for PED usage. The contract raised hackles among those who believed that it was wrong for Peralta to “profit” from his use of PEDs. Several big-leaguers were openly critical of the signing, though notably none of those were members of the St. Louis club. Public comments from players condemning PED usage appeared throughout 2013, indicating a change in attitude among the fraternity of majorleague players about the propriety of that kind of cheating. Yet the same players defended or forgave their teammates when they confessed, were exposed, or were disciplined, indicating that the desire for clubhouse harmony is much stronger than the revulsion towards PEDs. Though it didn’t make the headlines on August 5, MLB cleared the names of Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez and Orioles third baseman Danny Valencia, who had been linked to Biogenesis in the media. As the hysteria surrounding PEDs dissipates, it is important to remember that not all players are users, not all players condone cheating, and oft-repeated rumors and speculation are often wrong. The big “get” for MLB’s testing program in 2013 not related to Biogenesis was the odd story of former AL MVP and six-time All-Star Miguel Tejada, who was suspended on August 17 for 105 games for failing two tests for amphetamines in 2013. MLB’s Joint Program calls for a 25-game suspension for a second failure and 80 games for the third, and it was the third time in his career that the Royals’ infielder had failed such tests. Combining the two penalties produced the 105 number. Tejada previously had enjoyed an ADD-related Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for Adderall, but it expired on April 15. Reportedly, Tejada forgot to apply for an extension of his TUE, failed one test, then failed the second test while trying to get his TUE reinstated. The reason that Tejada could not get his TUE renewed was undisclosed, but the 39-year-old veteran had been linked to Biogenesis. On August 21, MLB issued a brief statement “in response to media reports pertaining to Miguel Tejada.” The statement said simply, “The Office of the Commissioner investigated all allegations regarding players associated with Anthony Bosch and Biogenesis. The investigation found no violation by Miguel Tejada of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.” The opaque text was limited only to Biogenesis-related transgressions, since Tejada had obviously violated the program to incur his suspension.
Unlike the Biogenesis suspensions, which were thought by many to be too light, Tejada’s sanction struck many as too severe, given that he had been taking Adderall all along and that more than 100 MLB players are permitted to use Adderall. At the end of November, the independent administrator of MLB’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program issued his annual report, covering the 40-player MLB team rosters from the end of the 2012 World Series to the 2013 Series finale. More than 4,000 urine tests and 1,369 blood tests were conducted, resulting in eight big-leaguers being disciplined, all for stimulants. Thirteen big-leaguers were disciplined for other reasons under the program, all related to the Biogenesis investigation. The 122 Therapeutic Use Exemptions granted in 2013 were three more than the previous season and about 10% higher than in 2011. All but three TUE’s were for ADD. MLB also suspended 60 minor-leaguers in 2013, most for failing tests for PEDs, stimulants, or “drugs of abuse” (i.e., recreational drugs). The number of suspensions in the minors was down dramatically from the 105 announced in 2012 and was the lowest total since 2007. A few of the 60 suspensions were meted out for failing to take a drug test or for undisclosed violations. All but three of the suspensions were for 50 games (mostly for first-time PEDs or second-time drugs of abuse); two of the remaining bans lasted 100 games. The baseball year in PEDs ended with a broadside from longtime scribe Murray Chass, a Spink Award winner and former New York Times reporter assigned to baseball’s labor beat. Chass now writes for his own Web site and isn’t shy about expressing controversial opinions that probably would never see ink at the paper of record—except possibly on the gray old lady’s op-ed page. In addition to listing players on his Hall of Fame ballot that he would not vote for because of known or suspected cheating, Chass ripped the selections of La Russa and Torre a few weeks earlier. Chass argued that the two august managers either knew or should have known about cheating in their own clubhouses, and that they benefitted substantially from the performance of their PED-enhanced players. Chass pointed out the obvious double standard of many of the moralists, who view cheaters with disdain or disgust even as many others in baseball profit from their “juicing.” The reaction to Chass’s piece—some concurring, a few disagreeing, but most remaining silent—said volumes about the fallout from the post–Steroids Era controversies of 2013. Not many fans seemed to care anymore, and most of those who did seemed to want the whole sordid mess put behind them so they could enjoy the National Pastime again.
WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC In the 2013 World Baseball Classic, the Dominican Republic provided several firsts. Led by tournament MVP Robinson Cano and a dominant bullpen, the Dominican team went unbeaten in eight games en route to the championship, becoming the only unbeaten WBC champion in the three Classics played. The Dominicans defeated Puerto Rico, 3–0, in the championship game in San Francisco on March 19 to become the first team other than Japan to win a WBC title. It was the third victory of the tournament over Puerto Rico for the Dominicans, who disappointed by failing to advance past the first round in 2009. Dominican starter Sam Deduno and four relievers combined on a three-hit shutout in front of 35,703 fans. Deduno, also a member of the Minnesota Twins, allowed two hits and struck out five in five innings. The right hander, who turned 30 in 2013, went 2–0 with 17 strikeouts and a 0.69 ERA for the tournament. Tampa Bay’s Fernando Rodney closed out the championship game by earning his seventh save of the tourney, a WBC record. In eight WBC appearances, Rodney allowed no runs and just one hit. Cano went 15-for-32 (.469) to break the record of 13 hits set in the first WBC in 2006 by Japan’s Nobuhiko Matsunaka.
2013 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON IN REVIEW
Managed by Tony Pena, the Dominican Republic reached the championship game by winning three games in each of the first two rounds. In the first round, played in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Dominicans defeated Venezuela, Spain, and Puerto Rico. In the second round, played in Miami, the Dominican Republic defeated Italy, the United States, and Puerto Rico. The Dominican Republic defeated the Netherlands, 4–1, in the semifinals at AT&T Park in San Francisco on March 18. In the other semifinal game on March 17, Puerto Rico defeated Japan, 3–1. The United States team, managed by Joe Torre, failed to advance past the second round. The US went 2–1 in the first round, losing to Mexico before defeating Italy and Canada. The US won its initial second-round game, defeating Puerto Rico, 7–1. The Americans didn’t win another game, however, losing to the Dominican Republic (3–1) and Puerto Rico (4–3). The 3–3 record in 2013 left the US with a 10–10 record in the three World Baseball Classics. Mets third baseman David Wright was a bright spot for the US, batting .438 with a homer and 10 RBIs. The tournament drew a total attendance of 885,212, topping the 2009 figure of 801,410. Television viewership records for the WBC were set in the Dominican Republic, Japan, Puerto Rico and Taiwan.
NOTABLE ACHIEVMENTS In a year in which scoring was down by four percent to 8.3 runs per game, most of the important records set were pitching or fielding marks. MLB offense declined for the fourth time in the past five years in 2013, producing a record number of extra-inning tilts plus three more no-hitters, totaling 21 no-hitters in the past five seasons, including one in the postseason. Prior to 2008, baseball had averaged less than two no-no’s per campaign. Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey no-hit San Francisco, 3–0, on July 2 at the Great American Ball Park for his second no-no in two years. San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum fired a no-hit game against San Diego, 9–0, on July 13 at Petco Park. On the season’s last day, Miami’s Henderson Alvarez shut down a half-strength Detroit lineup, 1–0, on no hits at Marlins Park. That game was remarkable in that it ended on a walk-off wild pitch. New York’s Mariano Rivera further enhanced his stellar reputation by extending his MLB career records for saves (652) and games finished (952) before retiring at the end of the 2013 season. The great Yankees’ closer made 1,115 appearances in his storied career, good for fourth all-time behind three left-handed relievers—only one of which (John Franco) was also a closer. Texas closer Joe Nathan saved 43 games, tying Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers at 341 for 10th place on the all-time list. Andy Pettitte of the Yankees had an enjoyable 2013 season before retiring (again). The 41-year-old left-hander started his 500th game on June 3; in his next start on June 8, he posted his 250th career win. As official scorers become increasingly reluctant to post an “E” on the scoreboard, Baltimore set MLB records for fewest errors (54) and highest fielding percentage in a season (.991). Alex Rodriguez set a new MLB career record for grand slams with his 24th bases-loaded slam on September 20, breaking a tie with Lou Gehrig. Alex Rios rapped six hits, including a triple, for the White Sox on July 9 against the Tigers. Rios also swiped two bases, yet scored only one run. Edwin Encarnacion belted two round-trippers for the Blue Jays in the seventh inning on July 26. Toronto blasted Houston for eight runs in that inning, with Encarnacion leading it off with a big fly and then later icing the cake with a grand slam. Boston’s preeminent designated hitter, David Ortiz, extended his existing career DH records in eight categories, including at-bats, runs, home runs, and RBIs. “Big Papi” also set a record for most career hits by a designated hitter, passing Harold Baines in 2013.

MLB games averaged a total of 15.1 strikeouts in 2013, a new high. In the positive strikeout category, the Tigers’ pitching staff set a new MLB record by fanning 1,428 enemy batsmen last year. Three Detroit starters finished the season with 200 or more K’s, tying the existing MLB record. In the negative strikeout category, the Astros set a new MLB team record for failing to make contact by striking out 1,535 times in a season, while Astros’ hitter Rick Ankiel set an ignominious mark by whiffing 10 consecutive times from April 2–8.
MIDSUMMER CLASSIC Baltimore’s Chris Davis, on his way to tying Reggie Jackson for the most home runs (37) before the All-Star break by an American League player, was the overall leading vote getter with more than eight million votes. Davis also became the second player (after Ichiro Suzuki in 2001) to lead the fan balloting in his first All-Star appearance. Junior league hurlers thoroughly dominated the 2013 All-Star game, limiting the National League to three hits in a 3–0 win at New York’s Citi Field. Six Tigers were selected, the most of any club in the majors, including the AL starting pitcher, Max Scherzer, who had won his first 13 decisions of the season and did not suffer a loss until his final start before the Midsummer Classic. Scherzer and Chicago’s Chris Sale retired the first nine NL batters, allowing the AL to take the lead with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera began the fourth with a double, scoring on a sacrifice fly by Jose Bautista. The top of the fifth began with a double by Baltimore’s Adam Jones, who scored on a groundout by teammate J.J. Hardy. The senior circuit managed to get a runner into scoring position in the bottom of the fourth when Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen stole second after pinch-running for Carlos Beltran, who had singled. Seattle’s Felix Hernandez easily got out of that jam with two straight groundouts, and the NL wouldn’t mount any kind of threat again until the ninth. Meanwhile, Cleveland’s Jason Kipnis drove in the final run of the contest with a ground-rule double in the top of the eighth. AL skipper Jim Leyland of the Tigers then pulled a shocker by bringing Yankees great Mariano Rivera in to pitch the last half of the eighth. Leyland explained that he wanted Rivera, who had already announced he would retire at season’s end, to throw a meaningful inning in what would be the final All-Star appearance for the peerless closer. Rivera set down the NL in order; although it wasn’t a save situation, he was rewarded with the game’s MVP award in a sentimental pick. Texas closer Joe Nathan officially closed out the first AL win since 2009 after surrendering a two-out double to Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt.
THE PENNANT CHASE: AMERICAN LEAGUE As the 2013 season dawned, perhaps no team had endured as much upheaval in the previous year as the Red Sox. Following a 2012 season replete with finger-pointing, clubhouse revolts, and a thorough offseason housecleaning, Boston replaced embattled manager Bobby Valentine with former BoSox pitching coach John Farrell. Boston exercised uncharacteristic fiscal restraint while rebuilding, buying low while picking up free-agent players such as Shane Victorino and Mike Napoli, both coming off career-worst seasons. Under Farrell’s steady hand, the club blew out of the gate with an 18–8 record in April, including a season-opening streak of 16 games, in which Sox starters allowed three runs or less. Everything didn’t go smoothly in Beantown, though, as new closer Joel Hanrahan hit the DL early in April with a hamstring injury. In May, he required elbow surgery which shelved him for the year. Bullpen second-fiddle Andrew Bailey met a similar fate, undergoing shoulder surgery in July. Koji Uehara, at 37 originally slotted for setup duty, stepped into the breach and excelled as the Carmines’ stopper, at one point retiring 37 straight batters.

Mostly, though, where things had gone horribly wrong for the Olde Towne Team in 2012, they went surprisingly right in 2013. DH David Ortiz recovered from a strained Achilles tendon to post a .959 OPS with 103 RBIs. Victorino rebounded to have one of his better years offensively and play a golden right field. Leadoff hitter and center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury ran wild, leading the league with 52 swipes while getting caught only four times. Projected to be a dogfight, the AL East division race did not disappoint. While Yankees stars like Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira languished on the disabled list in April, a patchwork crew of subs including Travis Hafner and Brennan Boesch filled in ably. The Bombers began to fade in May, suffering a four-game sweep at the hands of the Mets, yet at the end of May, only two games separated the Sox, Yanks, Orioles, and Rays.

Tampa Bay stumbled to a 12–14 record in April before righting the ship and matching Boston’s 79–57 record for the rest of schedule, good for runnerup honors in the East. As usual, the Rays had practiced fiscal responsibility in the 2012–13 offseason, shipping James Shields and Wade Davis to the Royals for prospects and waving goodbye to free-agent center fielder B.J. Upton. Also per usual, the well-managed club found a way to contend with replacement parts like first-sacker James Loney, grabbed off the scrap heap on a one-year deal. Rookie Wil Myers (obtained in the Shields’ deal) impressed in a half-season of play, and young hurlers Matt Moore and Alex Cobb stepped forward to notch 28 wins between them.

Justin Masterson rebounded to win 14 and post a 3.45 ERA, striking out 195 hitters in 193 innings. Scott Kazmir (10-9) and Corey Kluber (11-5) contributed as well. Playing for their postseason lives, the Tribe faced the loss of Masterson to an oblique injury on September 2. The Indians went 21–6 in September, riding a late surge to close the season that earned them a Wild Card berth and placed them but a game behind the Tigers. Kansas City was filled with hope heading into the season, after winning 25 games in the spring, more than any team in MLB history. Carrying some of that success over into the regular season, the Royals sat in first place for most of April, buoyed by new acquisitions Ervin Santana and James Shields, while Greg Holland established himself as a dominant closer, striking out 103 batters in 67 innings. In May, the club regressed, skidding to an 8–20 mark. Although KC would rebound with a 64–46 showing the rest of the way, the damage was done and the Royals finished third. Minnesota was not expected to do much, and it obliged expectations by skidding to its third consecutive 95-plus–loss record (66–96), though it eked out a fourth-place finish over the White Sox. Chicago, of which much more was expected, saw its fortunes sink as an aging and inefficient lineup fell apart, scoring the fewest runs in the league.
Having surprised in 2012, Baltimore proved itself in 2013. Slugger Chris Davis savaged AL pitching for 37 home runs before the All-Star break and finished with 53 homers and 138 RBIs. Adam Jones contributed a career .285/33/108 year. The Birds’ offensive firepower and 50 saves from Jim Johnson, however, could not cover for a mediocre starting staff as the O’s tied the Yankees for third in the East.
In the West, Oakland continued mixing and matching its way to contention. Oakland sought to shore up its offense with Japanese newcomer Hiroyuki Nakajima at shortstop, acquired inconsistent outfielder Chris Young from Arizona, and added infield depth by getting Jed Lowrie from Houston. It was a prescient move, as Nakajima flamed out in the spring and opened the season on the DL. Installed in his place, Lowrie delivered with a .290 effort.
The Blue Jays, expecting and expected to contend after acquiring big names like Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes, and R.A. Dickey in offseason trades, never took flight in 2013. Melky Cabrera, signed as a free-agent, spent the season battling injuries and proved to be little help as Toronto finished last.
Although unimpressive in a September 2012 tryout, the A’s handed Josh Donaldson the job at the hot corner, a move that paid off handsomely. On the mound, a rejuvenated Bartolo Colon earned six wins in the first two months of the season.
In the AL Central, heavy preseason favorite Detroit didn’t coast to the postseason as many expected, fighting off a surprisingly strong challenge from Cleveland. A couple of the Tigers’ big stars struggled during the season. After several years of dominance and a record offseason seven-year, $180 million contract extension, Justin Verlander turned in a merely very good year, bottoming out with an ugly 6.41 May ERA. Prince Fielder lost power in the second half, hitting only nine homers after the All-Star Break, presaging his awful October performance. The Tigers had plenty of hitting and pitching power in reserve, however. Following a Triple Crown performance in 2012, Detroit superstar Miguel Cabrera won another MVP award with 44 home runs, 137 RBIs, a careerhigh and AL-best .348 average, and a 1.078 OPS. Max Scherzer leapt to ace status as he began the season with a 13–0 run and finished at 21–3 with a 2.90 ERA and a Cy Young trophy. The rest of the Detroit rotation was impressive, as Anibal Sanchez went 14–8 with a league-leading 2.57 ERA while Doug Fister and Rick Porcello combined to win 27 games. Setup pitcher Joaquin Benoit inherited the closer role in June, stabilizing a relief corps in crisis and collecting 24 saves. The end of June found Detroit and Cleveland deadlocked atop the AL Central. By August 5, Detroit had opened up a little breathing room, as Cleveland sat four games back. That same day, however, shortstop Jhonny Peralta was suspended for 50 games as part of the Biogenesis investigation. In anticipation, the Tigers had traded in late July for defensive wizard Jose Iglesias, who replaced Peralta at short while vacuuming up every ground ball within a statute mile. Cleveland suffered through its worst month of the season in August with a 12–16 record, but refused to fade away. After 2012’s disappointment, the Indians hired Terry Francona as manager and overhauled the
Smarting from a Wild Card Game elimination in 2012, the Rangers blazed to a seven-game lead in the AL West by May 15. Storm clouds followed the club all year, however, in the shape of injuries. Key starter Matt Harrison got roughed up by the Astros in the season opener, lost his next start, then checked out for the season due to a pair of back surgeries. Alexi Ogando was lost to tendinitis in May, then two bouts of shoulder trouble in subsequent months. Ian Kinsler couldn’t avoid the injury bug either, sentenced to sit with a muscle strain after a hot start with seven homers and an .869 OPS in his first 40 games. The Athletics continued to scrap out wins, catching up to the Rangers in late June. Texas kept the heat on, aided by a superlative season from Yu Darvish, who blew away 277 hitters in 209.2 innings, Firing on all cylinders in August, Texas caught Oakland with a 20–7 mark, while Oakland went 14–13. Fortunes were reversed in September as the Rangers, wounded by the loss of Nelson Cruz to a 50-game Biogenesis suspension, suffered through a 5–15 stretch before rebounding to win their last seven games and finish 5 games off the pace (before the playoff), good for a tie with the Rays for the second Wild Card berth. Despite hopes that adding Josh Hamilton and enjoying a full sophomore season from Mike Trout might restore the Angels, Los Angeles stumbled early with a 9–17 April. Hamilton stayed healthy but was not especially productive, while slugger Albert Pujols endured his worst year in the majors, hitting a weak .258 and getting shelved by the end of July with foot and knee injuries. The pitching staff suffered as well, with C.J Wilson’s 17 wins offset by Joe Blanton’s 2–14, 6.04 implosion. Seattle enjoyed a surprising year from Japanese hurler Hisashi Iwakuma, who arguably outpitched M’s ace Felix Hernandez. Relying on too many allor-nothing power hitters, the Mariners ended up last in the AL in BA and 13th in on-base and suffered the consequences.
2013 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON IN REVIEW
Even worse suffering was reserved for Houston fans, as the new AL West citizens skidded to a predictably wretched 51–111 record after trading away virtually every bona fide big-leaguer on their roster. The Astros’ actions were derided by some pundits as unfair, even though they were simply taking advantage of the way the system works to stockpile a large supply of young talent and good draft picks. The second year of dueling Wild Card entries involved real drama in the AL, as Cleveland turned up the heat at the right time, winning 10 straight to close out the season and grab the first Wild Card slot outright. Although the Rangers endured a poor September, Texas won its last seven games to force a playoff with the Rays for the second Wild Card berth. Texas died at home, falling at the hands of David Price, who pitched a complete game for the Rays in their 5–2 victory.
THE PENNANT CHASE: NATIONAL LEAGUE Some teams rebuild, but St. Louis just reloads. Matt Carpenter, a third baseman by trade, took over at second in the hopes of adding some offensive pop to a solid core of veterans. Adam Wainwright was two years removed from Tommy John surgery, Chris Carpenter looked to be lost for the season, and Jaime Garcia continued to battle injuries. After sitting out for nearly two months with elbow pain, closer Jason Motte was lost for the year due to surgery in early May. There were few worries on the pitching front, though, as the Cards had a plethora of capable youngsters to plug into their rotation and bullpen. April proved to be an adjustment period for the club as it clawed out a 15–11 record. Carpenter hit second in the lineup initially, but caught fire in May as he grew accustomed to leading off. Shelby Miller, one of the young guns assigned to fill a gap in the rotation, fashioned a 1.40 ERA in his first eight starts, including a brilliant one-hit, 13-strikeout complete game against the Rockies on May 10. At the end of April, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were all within a game of St. Louis. In May, St. Louis appeared to hit its stride. When Garcia was shut down for the season due to shoulder surgery on May 24, the team called up rookie Michael Wacha from the minors. Wacha won his debut against the Royals on May 30, as Cardinal rookies posted a combined 10–2 record for the month, leaving the Redbirds with the top record in the majors at 35–18. Despite the pace set by St. Louis, the Reds and the Pirates tracked close behind. After enduring a record skein of 20 consecutive losing seasons, Pittsburgh’s 17–9 June mark left the Bucs two games ahead of the Cards, with the teams knotted at 56–37 at the 2013 All-Star break. The Pirates, buoyed by fine seasons from ultimate MVP Andrew McCutchen and from A.J. Burnett, were never more than four games out, but they slipped out of first for the final time on September 17. Pittsburgh finished three games out, winning the NL’s upper Wild Card berth. The Reds returned a strong cast for 2013, but couldn’t avoid injuries to their pitchers as they had the previous season. A surprising 14 wins from Bronson Arroyo could not compensate for the loss of top gun Johnny Cueto, who fell victim to a strained lat that sidelined him both for a month at the start and also from late June to mid-September. Ryan Ludwick did not reprise his strong 2012, as an Opening Day shoulder injury limited him to 38 games and two homers, yet Cincy still won 90 games, good enough for the lower NL Wild Card slot. A disastrous 6–22 May doomed Milwaukee to fourth place, bookended by Corey Hart’s lost season and Ryan Braun’s Biogenesis-related suspension late in the year. A lack of starting pitching (4.46 rotation ERA) didn’t help either. Meanwhile, the Cubs marked yet another rebuilding year, doomed to last place in the Central by an underperforming attack that was next-to-last in the NL in runs per game. As the newest iteration of the best team money could buy, the Dodgers initially looked like the most overpaid team ever, as well as one of the most

fragile. A potentially strong rotation lost Ted Lilly, Stephen Fife, and Chris Capuano to injury, Zack Greinke suffered a broken collarbone in a brawl, and Chad Billingsley checked out for the season with elbow surgery. In May, an ineffective Josh Beckett was shut down for surgery as well. The Dodgers’ bats did not get much of a break, as Hanley Ramirez opened the season with a torn thumb ligament, then strained a hamstring soon after returning to duty. Slugger Adrian Gonzalez battled nagging ailments. By June 21, the young Arizona squad looked to be the cream of the NL West crop, and Los Angeles was mired at dead last with a 30–42 record. A series of moves were underway, however, that would transform LA’s season. First, Cuban rookie Yasiel Puig was recalled in early June to help replace injured outfielders Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford. At the same time, Ramirez returned from the DL. Finally, strikeout machine Kenley Jansen took over as closer from the ineffective Brandon League. The flashy Puig lit a spark under the team with a .436 average and 1.180 OPS in June, while Ramirez hit .369/.418/.655 in June and July. In early July, the Dodgers picked up starter Ricky Nolasco from the Marlins to bolster their rotation, though it would be September before they regained the services of Kemp. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw was tying together a Cy Young season. With all the important pieces in place, the club closed out 2013 with a 62–28 record and buried the rest of the division. Arizona had few superlatives beyond a breakout year for masher Paul Goldschmidt and a solid season from young pitcher Patrick Corbin. San Francisco and San Diego tied for third in the West. Coming off their 2012 world championship, the Giants were a big disappointment as the team’s rotation faltered, though Tim Lincecum delivered a high note with his July nohitter. Meanwhile, a poor starting staff backed by a strong bullpen made for a mediocre Padres team. Outside of its big three of Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez, and Michael Cuddyer, Colorado fans did not have much to cheer for as the Rockies finished last again, even though they improved 10 games over 2012. In the East, the Braves got off on the right foot and barely looked back. With visions of upsetting the favored Nationals, Atlanta started 12–1 in April even though catcher Brian McCann was recovering from shoulder surgery, which gave veteran minor-leaguer Evan Gattis a chance to play. Thrust into a starting role, Gattis hit six homers in April and repeated the feat in May. The club was also weakened by the early absences of starter Brandon Beachy (elbow surgery), Freddie Freeman (strained oblique), and Jason Heyward (emergency appendectomy). Meanwhile, the Nats began the season as a trendy pick, but poor starts from multiple players slowed down their express. Serial slow starter Adam LaRoche played to form, Dan Haren launched a bad season, and secondsacker Danny Espinosa flamed out and was shipped to the minors in June. Atlanta occasionally stumbled before July 26, when the Braves embarked on a 14-game winning streak. The tear pushed the Nationals to 15.5 games back on August 9, sealing Washington’s fate. Freeman helped slam the door, compiling a .952 OPS in the second half. The Mets repeated their 74–88 showing of a year earlier, having failed to solve their hitting and pitching deficiencies and finishing a distant third. David Wright stood alone as the power threat in New York’s lineup once John Buck and Marlon Byrd were shipped to Pittsburgh on August 30. In the nether reaches of the East Division, aging Philadelphia continued its decline as the Phillies sank below .500 for the first time since 2002. Domonic Brown supplied a bright spot with 27 home runs, as popular manager Charlie Manuel took the fall, getting fired on August 16 and replaced by Ryne Sandberg. Meanwhile, the Marlins lost 100 and ended with the worst record in the league, though the electric debut and promising future of rookie pitcher Jose Fernandez gave Miami fans some comfort.
OCTOBER CLASSIC BASEBALL The Grand Old Game enjoyed a pretty successful October in 2013, the second year for the new Wild Card format. As in 2012, the determination of

the second Wild Card slot in one league came down to the last day of the season, with a playoff 163rd game between Texas and Tampa Bay in the AL determining who would advance to the AL Wild Card play-in game. Positive media coverage in the postseason was enhanced by the feel-good stories of underdog teams like the Pirates, Indians, and Athletics winning postseason berths, as well as by the presence of four glamorous teams in the LCS. The storied October rivalry between St. Louis and Boston, who had previously met in the World Series in 2004, 1967, and 1946, also helped. Only two of MLB’s seven postseason series were contested to the limit, though the other five October series finished only one game short of the maximum. The Fall Classic was much more competitive than the Giants sweep of the Tigers a year earlier, with four of the six games between the Red Sox and Cardinals decided by one or two runs.
WILD CARD GAMES
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
The Pirates used home field advantage in the NL Wild Card game to their decided advantage, jumping on Cincinnati early and cruising to a 6-2 victory over the Redlegs. Cincy ace Johnny Cueto, making only his third start since June because of injuries, got through the first inning unscathed, but allowed two solo homers in the second to Marlon Byrd and Russell Martin, and gave up another run in the third. Cincinnati got one back in the top of the fourth, but the Pirates countered with two more in the bottom of the same frame, effectively ending the contest. The Bucs’ bats were so good that eight of the nine starters, including pitcher Francisco Liriano, had at least one safety, four had two, and Martin, who added another solo blast in the seventh, had three. On the mound, Liriano was as masterful as Cueto was subpar, surrendering just four hits and a walk in seven innings. Ohio’s other big league team didn’t fare any better the next night, as Cleveland fell to the Rays 4–0 in the AL Wild Card contest. Cleveland starter Danny Salazar retired the first six Tampa batters before giving up a leadoff home run to Delmon Young in the top of the third. The Rays got two more in the fourth when James Loney and Evan Longoria scored on a double by Desmond Jennings, and plated their final tally in the ninth on a single by Yunel Escobar. Tampa’s Alex Cobb was far from dominant on the mound, allowing eight hits and a walk in 6.2 innings, but earned the victory by pitching out of serious trouble twice in the middle innings. Cleveland loaded the bases with one out in the fourth, but Cobb got Asdrubal Cabrera to ground into a double play. Cobb surrendered hits to the first two in the bottom of the fifth, but got out of that with a strikeout of Michael Bourn and two groundouts.
AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES Detroit and Oakland met in the AL Division Series for the second year in a row. Like the previous encounter, the 2013 series went to the limit. Both teams were in the top three in the league in ERA and runs. The series kicked off at O.co Coliseum in Oakland in front of 48,401 fans. Game 1 featured the eventual AL Cy Young award–winner Max Scherzer against Bartolo Colon who, after serving a drug suspension in 2012, returned with an 18–6 record and 2.65 ERA. Detroit struck first, scoring three runs to begin the game. Austin Jackson led off the game with a double before Torii Hunter got plunked. With runners on first and second, the AL batting champion Miguel Cabrera hit a groundball single into center field, scoring Jackson and pushing Hunter to third. Colon got a two-for-one by inducing Prince Fielder into a double play, scoring Hunter. Victor Martinez next shot a linedrive to left for a double, then scored on an Alex Avila single. Scherzer hurled his first pitch with a 3–0 lead and didn’t look back. In seven innings, the hard-throwing righty allowed three hits and two walks, striking out 11. Brandon Moss led off the home seventh with a single ahead of Yoenis Cespedes, who slugged a homer to deep left-center off Scherzer, bringing the Athletics within one run. That was one run too much, however, as Drew Smyly and Joaquin Benoit nailed down the 3–2 win for the Tigers.
Game 2’s pitching duel featured a veteran ace against a young upstart. Detroit’s Justin Verlander and the Athletics’ Sonny Gray went toe-to-toe, striking out a combined 20 hitters in a closely-fought contest that went down to the wire. Verlander tossed four-hit ball in his seven innings of work, walking one and striking out 11. Rookie Gray matched him through eight frames (four hits, two walks, nine strikeouts). This game was decided by the bullpens. Still scoreless in the bottom of the ninth, Al Alburquerque was nicked for singles by Cespedes and Seth Smith, then intentionally walked Josh Reddick. With the bases loaded, Detroit manager Jim Leyland summoned Rick Porcello to face young catcher Stephen Vogt. Three pitches later, Vogt smacked a liner to short center, plating the game’s only run for a 1–0 Athletics triumph. Changing venues did not make it any easier for Detroit in Game 3. Taking the mound at Comerica Park, Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez appeared shaky from the beginning. The AL ERA leader only went 4.1 innings as he gave up six runs on eight hits, with two walks and six strikeouts. The keys were that the Bengals’ right-hander coughed up three gopher balls in the loss to Oakland, and that A’s starter Jarrod Parker kept the ball in the park, limiting the opposition damage to three runs. Coco Crisp led off the Oakland third with a single, then stole second. He scampered home on a two-out error by third baseman Cabrera on a Cespedes grounder into the gap. The Athletics upped their lead to 3–0 in the fourth after Reddick led off with a round-tripper to deep right field, Vogt tripled, and Crisp lofted a sacrifice fly to left-center. In the bottom half of the fourth, Detroit tied it up on singles by Torii Hunter and Prince Fielder, a double by Martinez, and a single by Jhonny Peralta. The long ball continued to haunt Sanchez, who gave up two homers during a span of three batters in the fifth: first a solo shot by Brandon Moss, then a two-run dinger by Smith after Cespedes had singled. That completed the scoring, as the relief corps took over on both sides in the 6–3 A’s win. Game 4 was a do-or-die situation for Detroit, as the hometown nine sent Doug Fister to the mound to face Dan Straily. It looked bleak for the Motor City fans when the visitors took a 3–0 lead into the bottom of the fifth. Meanwhile, Straily looked sharp, allowing no hits through four; however, the rookie right-hander was reached for a pair of singles to lead off the fifth. The next batter, Peralta, evened things up with a three-run poke to deep left field. Then the game got crazy. Called on to replace Fister at the start of the seventh, Scherzer immediately let Oakland go ahead on leadoff single by Vogt, a sacrifice bunt, and Crisp’s single to center. Detroit backed Scherzer with two in the bottom half of the frame, including a home run to right by Victor Martinez that was reviewed for possible fan interference. In the top of the eighth, Scherzer loaded the bases with none out, then showed his dominant side by striking out the next two batters and getting pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo to line to center. The Tigers added three more runs with two out in the bottom of the eighth to make it 8–4, with Omar Infante driving in two on a double off Brett Anderson. In the top of the ninth, the A’s threatened against Benoit. Crisp’s leadoff single and a one-out walk set the stage for a two-out, two-RBI single by Cespedes. With the score 8–6 and Cespedes on second, the hard-throwing Detroit closer finally ended the see-saw affair by striking out Smith. Returning to the Coliseum for the decisive Game 5, the Athletics were hoping that Gray could again match Verlander. It didn’t happen, though, as the Detroit ace gave up just two hits and a walk through eight innings while striking out 10. Gray made it through five innings, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks, including a two-run homer to a hurting Miguel Cabrera in the fourth. Detroit won the game 3–0, taking the series 3-games-to-2. The other AL Division Series pitted the AL East titleholder Boston against Wild Card Tampa Bay. During the regular season, the Red Sox led MLB in scoring; the teams carried comparable pitching staffs with team ERAs of
2013 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON IN REVIEW
3.74 for the Rays and 3.79 for the Red Sox. In the end, the Carmines’ attack controlled the series from the start. Game 1 at Fenway Park quickly turned into a debacle for Tampa Bay. The Rays took a 2–0 lead off Jon Lester on solo shots by Sean Rodriguez in the second and Ben Zobrist in the fourth. In the bottom half of the fourth, though, everything fell apart for Rays starter Matt Moore when he was cuffed around for five runs on six hits, including three doubles. Four batters and two more two-baggers into the sixth, it was 7–2 and Moore was lifted. Ellsbury’s single one out later upped the Sox’ lead to six. Lester lasted 7.2 innings for the win. The BoSox scored four more in the eighth off the Rays’ Jamey Wright to make the final 12–2. In Game 2, the Rays stuck closer to the Sox but never had a lead. Tampa Bay ace David Price allowed two runs in the bottom half of the first, including a solo shot to deep right-center by Boston slugger David Ortiz. The Rays cut the deficit in half in the second on a sacrifice fly to deep right-center by Delmon Young, after Ben Zobrist led off with a walk and was singled to third. With back-to-back doubles leading off the third, Boston scored twice more to make it 4–1. Mike Napoli led off the fourth with a walk; he was forced at second by Jonny Gomes, who scored on Stephen Drew’s two-out triple to left. The Rays recouped a pair on James Loney’s two-out double off Sox starter John Lackey in the fifth, but Dustin Pedroia doubled home Jacoby Ellsbury, who had begun the home fifth with a single, to keep the Olde Towne Team ahead by a 6–3 margin. Lackey allowed another run in the sixth before the Boston fire brigade took charge, with Craig Breslow, Junichi Tazawa, and Koji Uehara allowing only one hit over the remaining 3.2 innings. Ortiz hit a second home run in the eighth off Price as Boston won 7–4. Alex Cobb took the mound for Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field in the thriller of the series, with Game 3 being decided with two out in the bottom of the ninth. Boston drew first blood from the Rays’ righty in the first on a weak groundout to third by Pedroia, scoring the speedy Ellsbury on Zobrist’s throwing error. Through the fourth, it was a taut game. In the fifth, the tension grew as a Cobb wild pitch with Pedroia at bat scored Ellsbury, who had doubled with one out. Shane Victorino, who had singled Ellsbury to third, then scored on an Ortiz single. Before you could say 3–0, however, TB’s Evan Longoria tied it up in the bottom half of the frame with a three-run homer to deep left off Boston starter Clay Buchholz. The two teams exchanged runs in the bottom half of the eighth and top half of the ninth, both scoring on groundouts. Closer Uehara took the mound in the bottom half of the ninth inning. With two out, backup catcher Jose Lobaton stepped into the batter’s box and launched a big fly to deep right-center for a 5–4 Tampa Bay victory. Rays manager Joe Maddon wasn’t taking any chances with the season on the line, using 22 players in Game 4, including nine pitchers. Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson didn’t make it out of the second after issuing walks to Ortiz and Napoli and a single to Daniel Nava. Every call to the bullpen seemed to work for Maddon, as it was scoreless going into the bottom of the sixth, when David DeJesus lined a single to short right to drive in Yunel Escobar, who had doubled to lead off the inning. The one-run lead would not be enough, however, as Maddon’s magic disappeared. With two out in the top of the seventh, Ellsbury singled to right, moving Xander Bogaerts to third. The Rays’ skipper then replaced Jake McGee with Joel Peralta. Ellsbury stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch to Victorino, with Bogaerts scoring. Victorino followed with a single to short to plate Ellsbury and put the Sox in the lead, 2–1. Fernando Rodney took the mound in the ninth. Unable to locate the strike zone, the Rays’ closer loaded up the bases with one out on two walks and a hit batsman. Again Maddon went to his bullpen, this time calling Chris Archer into the game. Two pitches later, Pedroia lined a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Bogaerts.

Uehara entered to pitch the home ninth with a two-run lead, retiring Wil Myers, Loney, and Longoria in order on 13 pitches. Boston won both the game and the series, 3–1.
NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES Pittsburgh’s adrenaline rush from winning the NL Wild Card game faded in the third inning of Game 1 of the Division Series when host St. Louis exploded for seven runs. The Cardinals, who put the first eight batters of the frame on base, scored every which way: from a bases-loaded walk to Jon Jay to a threerun bomb by Carlos Beltran. Starter Adam Wainwright won it for the Redbirds, limiting the Pirates to three hits and one run in the 9–1 blowout. Gerrit Cole’s six masterful innings in Game 2 allowed the Bucs to even the series. After surrendering a one-out double in the first, Cole retired the next 11 batters, allowing Pittsburgh to take a commanding lead. Cole singled in the game’s first run in the second inning, Pedro Alvarez smashed a two-run homer in the third, and Marlon Byrd and Russell Martin each drove in runs in the fifth to put the Steel City Corsairs up, 5–0. Cole and relievers Tony Watson, Mark Melancon, and Jason Grilli were so effective that the Cards managed to get multiple runners on base only once. Pittsburgh relinquished leads twice in Game 3, yet still managed to win, 5–3, with an eighth-inning rally. The Pirates plated two in the bottom of the first when Byrd’s grounder sneaked through the hole between short and third. That lead lasted until the fifth, when St. Louis tied it on a two-run single by Beltran. The Bucs took the lead back in the sixth on a sacrifice fly by Martin, but a solo shot by Beltran tied it again in the top of the eighth. The mass dejection at PNC Park didn’t last long, however, as the home team rallied in the bottom half of the inning. After Andrew McCutchen’s leadoff double, a walk to Byrd put runners on first and second with one out, before Alvarez and Martin drove in a run each with a pair of singles. Grilli saved it by retiring three straight in the ninth after a leadoff single. One win away from continuing its magical season, Pittsburgh never took a lead in either of the final two games, allowing St. Louis to advance to the NLCS for the third straight season. Michael Wacha started only three big-league games before he turned 22 on July 1, but the rookie pitched Game 4 like a seasoned veteran, as he led the Cardinals to a 2–1 victory. Matt Holliday’s two-run home run in the top of the sixth accounted for all of the visitors’ runs. That’s because Wacha, who lost a no-hit bid with two outs in the ninth inning of his last regular-season start, retired the first 15 batters he faced and didn’t allow a hit until the bottom of the eighth. Alvarez broke up the no-hitter and the shutout with a solo homer, his third long ball of the series. Redbirds skipper Mike Matheny lifted the young right-hander after he walked Martin; relievers Carlos Martinez and Trevor Rosenthal were nearly perfect in getting the last five outs. Back in the Mound City for Game 5, Wainwright continued the Redbirds’ stellar starting pitching by giving up just a single run in his first career postseason complete game. David Freese followed a walk to Jay in the second with a two-run homer off Bucs’ starter Cole. Jay made it 3–0 with a two-out safety in the sixth off reliever Justin Wilson. The Pirates had a couple of chances to win their first postseason series since 1979, but the St. Louis ace was able to pitch out of trouble in the seventh and ninth innings. In the seventh, Justin Morneau, Byrd and Alvarez all singled with two out to make it 3–1, but Wainwright induced Martin to ground into a force to end the frame. In the ninth, Morneau and Byrd again singled with two out, but Alvarez struck out to end Pittsburgh’s first October appearance since 1992. The other Division Series in the senior circuit was expected to be a tight, low-scoring affair because Atlanta and Los Angeles had the lowest team ERAs in the league. The Dodgers’ staff kept up its end of the bargain by allowing only 14 runs in four games. In contrast, NL East titlist Atlanta, who possessed an NL-best 3.18 ERA, fell apart early in Game 1 and never recovered, surrendering 46 hits and 26 runs in the series.

With the way Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was dealing, the initial game was over the minute LA plated two runs in the top of the second. Yasiel Puig singled with one out, went to third on a hit by Juan Uribe, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Skip Schumaker. Uribe then scored on a double by A.J. Ellis. Adrian Gonzalez went deep in the third to make it 4–0, and Los Angeles tacked on a fifth run in the fourth when Mark Ellis singled in A.J. Ellis. Atlanta starter Kris Medlin allowed nine hits and five runs in four-plus innings of work. Kershaw was on top of his game, allowing three hits while striking out 12 in seven innings. The Dodgers’ brilliant lefty fanned nine of the last 11 Braves he faced, including six in a row after Chris Johnson singled in Atlanta’s only run of the game in the bottom of the fourth. The Braves bounced back in Game 2 at Turner Field, though the Dodgers scored a run in the first on a one-out walk to Mark Ellis and a double by Hanley Ramirez. Atlanta tied it in the second when Andrelton Simmons doubled in Evan Gattis, and added another in the fourth when Elliot Johnson singled in Freddie Freeman.

Atlanta starter Mike Minor wasn’t perfect, giving up a run on eight hits and a walk in 6.1 innings, but the Braves’ defense turned three double plays. Ramirez clubbed a two-run shot in the top of the eighth to cut LA’s deficit to 4–3, and the visitors threatened again in the ninth when A.J. Ellis walked with one out. Speedster pinch-runner Dee Gordon tried to steal on the first pitch to pinch-hitter Andre Ethier, but Simmons caught the peg on the short-hop and was able to put the tag on Gordon. Neither starting pitcher made it past the third inning of Game 3 at Dodger Stadium. The affair started close but ended in a 13–6 shellacking, as the Dodgers equaled their franchise postseason record for runs in a game. Atlanta notched two in the top of the first, but Los Angeles countered with four in the bottom of the second, with Carl Crawford’s three-run blast being the big blow. Atlanta tied it the next inning on three consecutive singles and a pair of infield groundouts, but the Dodgers took the lead back again in the bottom of the third, as Adrian Gonzalez and Skip Schumaker singled in one each. LA plated four more, all unearned, in the bottom of the fourth, and never looked back. Juan Uribe was the hero in Game 4 after clubbing a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth that decided another back-and-forth contest and put LA in the NLCS. Crawford hit solo home runs in the first and third innings to give the hometown nine the early lead, but the Bravos tied it with two unearned runs in the fourth and took the lead when pinch-hitter Jose Constanza singled in Johnson in the top of the seventh, 3–2. Neither team scored again until the eighth, when Puig led off with a double. Uribe was supposed to bunt Puig to third, but he fouled off the first two pitches, so Dodgers skipper Don Mattingly removed the bunt sign. The fifth pitch to Uribe by reliever David Carpenter was a hanger, and the LA third-sacker drove it deep into the Dodgers’ bullpen in straightaway left for the game-winner, 4–3. Kenley Jansen struck out the side in the ninth.
AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES The ALCS featured a Detroit team that many expected to reach the World Series facing a Boston nine seeking to go from worst in 2012 to first in 2013. Anibal Sanchez led preseason favorite Detroit into battle for Game 1. Though he had the league’s finest ERA, Sanchez was generally considered the third-best pitcher on his own team, after Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. Boston answered with Jon Lester, who had enjoyed a fine season of his own with 15 wins. The Red Sox’ lineup had eclipsed the rest of the majors in runs; it squared off at Fenway Park against the Tigers’ lineup led by Miguel Cabrera, the best power hitter in baseball. Naturally, a pitcher’s duel ensued.
A cool night in the mid-50’s greeted the clubs, with a stiff breeze streaming in from center field. Both pitchers took advantage of the weather, handcuffing opposing batsmen for five scoreless innings. Then came the fateful sixth. After a one-out walk to Cabrera, Lester plunked Prince Fielder. After the lumbering Fielder was erased on a forceout that sent Cabrera to third, Jhonny Peralta singled to center for the game’s first tally. Sanchez was wild, walking six, but he also struck out 12 and kept the Red Sox hitless through six. The Detroit bullpen took over and continued the no-no show until the ninth inning, when Daniel Nava singled with one out. Quintin Berry ran for Nava and stole second with two out, giving Xander Bogaerts a chance for late-inning heroics. Bogaerts popped out to short as Detroit earned a 1–0 victory. With Scherzer and Verlander waiting in the wings, many pundits believed the Red Sox already had their backs to the wall. Detroit drew first blood in Game 2, with Alex Avila stroking a single to plate Victor Martinez, who had doubled off Boston starter Clay Buchholz in the second. The Tigers added four more runs in the top of the sixth, chasing Buchholz with homers from Cabrera and Avila. Meanwhile, Scherzer pitched with laser-like precision, striking out 13 in seven innings and not allowing a hit until the sixth, when Shane Victorino singled and scored on a Dustin Pedroia double. With a 5–1 lead, Detroit went to its bullpen in the eighth, calling on Jose Veras, who got Stephen Drew to ground out on the first pitch. After Will Middlebrooks doubled to left, Tigers skipper Jim Leyland called on Drew Smyly, who walked Jacoby Ellsbury. Enter Al Alburquerque, who managed to strike out Victorino. Pedroia then singled, however, loading the bases for David Ortiz. Leyland called for closer Joaquin Benoit. Ortiz uncoiled on the first pitch and parked it over the right field wall as Torii Hunter leapt over the fence and landed on his head in the BoSox bullpen in a vain attempt to capture the flying cowhide. Needless to say, Carmines fans went wild as Bengals fans had a collective heart attack. Tied at 5 going into the bottom of the ninth, the visitors bungled the game away on a throwing error by Jose Iglesias and a Rick Porcello wild pitch that advanced Jonny Gomes to third. Jarrod Saltalamacchia singled as Boston won the game and evened the series, 6–5. Koji Uehara picked up the win after a 1-2-3 top of the ninth. Game 3 loomed large as the Red Sox geared up to face the fearsome Verlander on his home turf. Despite two outstanding pitching performances against them, Boston had emerged with a draw before heading to Motown. In a best-of-seven series, though, they still had to find a way to beat Detroit’s ace. Much like Game 1, the pitchers were dominant. John Lackey was every bit Verlander’s equal, posting goose eggs until Boston broke through in the seventh when Mike Napoli worked the count to 3–2 before crushing Verlander’s next pitch over the left-center field wall. It was one of the veteran righty’s few mistakes of the night, as Verlander struck out 10 while allowing only four hits in eight innings. Lackey fanned eight in 6.2 innings without allowing a run. The eighth inning offered Detroit its best chance, but bashers Cabrera and Prince Fielder both struck out with runners on first and third. Uehara paved the way for the second 1–0 shutout in the series, striking out Avila after a GDP by Peralta erased Martinez’s leadoff single. After two one-run losses in a row, Leyland shook up his lineup for Game 4, moving the slumping Austin Jackson out of the leadoff spot to the eighthole. Jackson was 3-for-33 in the postseason at that point, with 18 strikeouts. Doug Fister took the ball for Detroit, Jake Peavy for Boston. The home team loaded the bases in the second on a Martinez single and walks to Peralta and Avila. After Omar Infante flied out, the new No. 8 hitter coaxed a walk from Peavy, scoring Martinez. A fielder’s choice scored Peralta, followed by a two-run double from Hunter. Cabrera then singled Hunter home to complete the five-run rally.
2013 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON IN REVIEW
Good news continued in the fourth as Infante smacked a ground-rule double, scoring on Jackson’s infield single. Jackson stole second, was sacrificed to third, and scored when Cabrera rapped a single to center. Fister cruised with the seven-run lead, leaving after allowing a run in the sixth. The Bengals’ shaky bullpen held up this time, allowing single runs in the seventh and ninth as the Tigers won, 7–3. In Game 5, Boston faced Sanchez again, but this time the Tigers’ righthander would be on friendlier ground. Once more, he was opposed by BoSox lefty Lester. Napoli got the party started with a bang in the second, punishing a ball into the centerfield wall ivy at Comerica Park. Rookie Bogaerts and David Ross doubled, Ellsbury added an infield single, and it was suddenly 3–0. In the third, Napoli doubled and later scored on a wild pitch. Detroit chipped away, picking up runs in the fifth and sixth on singles by Cabrera and Brayan Pena to cut the lead to 4–2. In the seventh, the Tigers threatened again when Iglesias led off with a single and advanced to third on Hunter’s single. Cabrera strode to the plate to face Junichi Tazawa, who had fanned the slugger out in a similar situation in Game 3. Tazawa once again got the better of Miggy, who grounded into a double play with Iglesias scoring. The Tigers went down in order the rest of the way, falling for the third time by one run, 4–3. Boston was primed for Game 6, as all of New England looked forward to winning the pennant at Fenway. Scherzer, burned by his bullpen in Game 2, returned to the hill, and the Red Sox knew they would have to scrape for every run. Buchholz again toed the rubber for Boston. The Sox threatened when Bogaerts and Ellsbury started the third inning with walks, bringing Victorino to the plate to sacrifice them along. He popped up to the pitcher, however, and Pedroia followed by hitting into a DP, eliminating the threat. Boston broke through in the fifth, as Ellsbury singled to drive in Bogaerts after he had doubled. Detroit answered with a pair of runs in the sixth, as Martinez stroked a long single to left-center to push Hunter (leadoff walk) and Cabrera (single) home and push Fielder (walk) to third with no out. New pitcher Brandon Workman induced Peralta to bounce to second, where the routine play turned into a DP on a dreadful baserunning gaffe by Fielder, who inexplicably froze halfway to the plate. Workman punched out Avila, leaving the Tigers gasping for breath. Scherzer headed for the showers in the seventh with a 2–1 lead after Gomes doubled and Bogaerts walked. Reliever Smyly faced Ellsbury, who reached on an error by Iglesias. With the sacks now full, Veras was called to face Victorino, who lofted an 0–2 curveball over the Green Monster for the 5–2 final score. Uehara again slammed the door on the Tigers in the ninth, and the Red Sox headed to the World Series. An accidental closer for an unlikely contender, Uehara was the logical series MVP, appearing in five games, winning one and saving three, while striking out nine in six scoreless innings.
NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES In many ways the teams facing off in the NLCS presented an interesting matchup: the team with the best record in the league, St. Louis, met the club with the most momentum, Los Angeles. St. Louis brought the lumber, having scored a league-leading 783 runs, while Los Angeles offered a pitching staff with a 3.25 ERA, second in the NL. Most importantly, the Dodgers held an ace in Clayton Kershaw, coming off his Cy Young season. Game 1 in St. Louis set the tone for the hard-fought series. Zack Greinke (who owned a Cy Young himself) scaled the mound to face Joe Kelly, who had started the season in the bullpen. Kelly did as much as Redbirds’ manager Mike Matheny could ask, lasting six innings and limiting the damage to a two-run single by Juan Uribe in the third inning. Greinke lasted eight frames, striking out 10 but tripping up after whiffing the first two batters of
79
the inning by allowing Kelly to single in the bottom of the third. After Matt Carpenter walked, Carlos Beltran tied the game with a double. That was all the scoring seen in regulation. The Dodgers threatened in the 10th as Mark Ellis tripled with one out and tried to score on a fly ball to right, but Beltran gunned Ellis down at the plate to preserve the tie. In the 13th, Beltran extended his heroics with an RBI single off closer Kenley Jansen, driving home Daniel Descalso, who had singled with one out and advanced to second on a walk. Final: 3–2. Each side sent its hottest pitcher to the hill for Game 2. Kershaw took the ball for Los Angeles, while rookie Michael Wacha got the call for the Cardinals. Wacha had held the Pirates hitless for 7.1 innings in Game 4 of the NLDS and had nearly thrown a no-hitter in his last regular-season start. Hanley Ramirez sat out after being hit by a pitch in Game 1, and Andre Ethier also was hobbled and out of the lineup. After giving up a leadoff triple to Carpenter in the first, Kershaw eviscerated the hometown hitters, not allowing another hit until David Freese’s double in the fifth. Freese later scored on a sacrifice fly by Jon Jay. The run held up as closer Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side to end the 1–0 game. Ramirez returned for Game 3 in LA, despite being diagnosed with a broken rib. St. Louis put its best foot forward with Adam Wainwright, while Los Angeles started Hyun-Jin Ryu. An Ellis double in the fourth was followed by a two-bagger from Adrian Gonzalez that plated the first run. Yasiel Puig belted a triple, which the rookie prematurely celebrated as a home run but was more than enough to knock in Gonzalez. The ailing Ramirez later stroked a single to right in the eighth to bring home a streaking Carl Crawford, who narrowly missed Yadier Molina’s tag as he scored the final run in the Dodgers’ 3–0 victory. Game 4 featured a start from the Cardinals’ Lance Lynn, who had earned the Game 1 win in relief and who won 15 games during the regular season. Los Angeles countered with midseason acquisition Ricky Nolasco. The game was scoreless till the third, when Nolasco faced Matt Holliday who, after Carpenter’s RBI double, launched a mammoth shot to left field to stake the Cardinals to a 3–0 lead. Lynn endured a shaky fourth, giving up three hits and a walk, as the Dodgers scored twice to close the gap. Pinch-hitter Shane Robinson homered in the seventh to widen the lead to the final score of 4–2. In the bottom of the inning, the Dodgers threatened as Nick Punto doubled with one out. Reliever Carlos Martinez and shortstop Pete Kozma caught Punto napping, however, and picked him off. Lynn collected his second series win and the Cardinals were a win away from the World Series. Manager Don Mattingly tapped Greinke to return to the mound for Game 5 as Either sat with a microfracture in his ankle. While not dominant, the right-hander was effective, scattering six hits over seven innings. He also knocked in a run with a single in the second. Kelly could not repeat his Game 1 performance, allowing four runs in five innings, including solo shots to Gonzalez in the third and Crawford in the fifth. A.J. Ellis homered in the seventh, and Gonzalez added another blast in the eighth. Ramirez was removed for the second straight game in the seventh due to rib pain. A Cardinals rally in the ninth fell short and the Dodgers walked away as 6–4 victors. Having lost the NLCS the previous year after enjoying a 3-games-to-1 advantage, the Cardinals were eager to close out the series in Game 6 at home. The only obstacle in their way was the formidable Kershaw. Ethier and Ramirez reported for duty, despite the latter’s 0-for-6 in the previous two games. After fouling off eight pitches in the third from LA’s hard-throwing southpaw, Carpenter stroked a double to right with one out. Four singles later, St. Louis had staked out a 4–0 lead. The Cardinals chased Kershaw in the fifth by scoring five more times (three of those charged to the LA ace). Wacha held the Dodgers to only two base hits over seven innings, garnering his second win of the LCS and earning the series MVP award.

THE EMERALD GUIDE TO BASEBALL 2014
WORLD SERIES The Carmines-Redbirds Fall Classic matchup featured the teams with the best record in each league for the first time since 1999. Aside from that selling point, and the rich history of October play between the two franchises, there was an added dimension: the response to the Boston Marathon bombings that became a rallying cry for both a city and its baseball team. Honoring victims and survivors with the “Boston Strong” campaign began with a ceremony before the first game in Fenway after the tragedy, and it continued as the Red Sox embraced survivors, first responders, and the families of those who had lost their lives. Players made countless public appearances and visits to hospitals. Victims threw out first pitches and sang the national anthem. A “Boston Strong 617” jersey hung in the dugout for the rest of the season, and a “B Strong” logo was prominently featured on the Green Monster as well as manicured into the outfield grass and into a city’s heart.
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
The Cardinals brought a young yet effective pitching staff to the table, but also an offense frayed by lack of depth, especially with cleanup hitter Allen Craig out of the lineup. Craig led the majors by hitting .454 with runners in scoring position during the season, allowing him to pile up 97 RBIs in only 134 games. He missed the last month of regulation as well as the first two postseason series. Craig returned for Game 1 in Boston, playing DH in the AL park. Adam Wainwright took the mound for the Cardinals, pitted against the Red Sox’ Jon Lester. St. Louis started the game in sloppy fashion and never quite recovered. The bottom of the first began with a walk to Jacoby Ellsbury, who moved to second on a single by Dustin Pedroia. David Ortiz then hit a grounder to second baseman Matt Carpenter, who tossed the ball to shortstop Pete Kozma in an attempt to turn a double play against the lumbering Big Papi. Umpire Dana DeMuth, focused on watching Kozma tag the bag, called the runner out even as the ball dropped to the ground. A conference of the other five umpires corrected the call, leaving the bases loaded. Mike Napoli proceeded to drill a double to deep center, scoring all three runners. In the second, the BoSox returned to do more damage. Unfortunately for the Redbirds, so did their own poor play. The inning began with what can only be described as a mental error, as Wainwright called catcher Yadier Molina off a popup from Stephen Drew, only to watch as it fell between the two defenders. David Ross’s single moved Drew to second. With one out, Kozma (who had made only nine errors all season) committed his second miscue by bungling a grounder from Shane Victorino. A single from Pedroia and a long sacrifice fly from Ortiz widened the lead to 5–0. Right fielder Carlos Beltran saved a potential grand slam by banging into and reaching over the bullpen wall. After his fine play, Beltran exited the game with bruised ribs. Lester kept the Cardinals guessing, tossing 7.2 innings of scoreless ball while striking out eight. St. Louis never threatened, failing to score until a Matt Holliday homer in the ninth in Boston’s 8–1 win. Game 2 featured Michael Wacha versus John Lackey. Redbirds fans had fallen in love with the talented rookie pitcher, and with good reason: his 3–0 record in postseason play had helped carry the team to the NL pennant. Meanwhile, John Lackey had beaten Detroit ace Justin Verlander in the ALCS. The visitors struck first, as Holliday launched a triple to deep center to lead off the fourth. One out later, Molina plated the first run with a grounder to second. Wacha cruised till the sixth, when Pedroia walked, before a two-run shot by Ortiz over the Green Monster. In the seventh, the Cardinals got a walk from David Freese and a single from John Jay to put two aboard. Kozma pinch ran for Freese; a double steal put runners at second and third. Daniel Descalso worked a free pass from reliever Craig Breslow, loading the bases. Carpenter flied out to left, and Jonny Gomes unleashed a strong throw to the plate. Jarrod Saltalamacchia muffed the catch as the ball dribbled to the pitcher backing up home. Kozma scored, and Breslow’s throw to third sailed into the outfield, scoring Jay. A badly bruised Beltran followed with a
single, driving in Descalso to increase the St. Louis lead to 4–2. That would be the final score, as reliever Carlos Martinez hurled two scoreless frames and closer Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side in the ninth. Game 3 dawned in the Gateway City with the home team keeping Craig on the bench. Veteran Jake Peavy got the call for Boston, with sophomore Joe Kelly taking the hill for the hometown squad. St. Louis broke out its bats early, with Carpenter singling and advancing on a sacrifice from Beltran. Holliday, Matt Adams, and Molina each followed with safeties to put the home team up 2–0 after the first. Xander Bogaerts led off the fifth for Boston with a triple, scoring on pinchhitter Mike Carp’s forceout. A Daniel Nava single in the sixth drove in Victorino, who had led off with a walk, and tied the game at deuce. Holliday’s two-run double off Craig Breslow drove home Carpenter (single) and Beltran (HBP) in the seventh to make the score 4–2. Martinez, dependable in relief so far for St. Louis in the postseason, filled the bases with a single, a hit batter, and an intentional walk. A fielder’s choice by Nava and a single by Bogaerts plated Jacoby Ellsbury and Victorino, respectively, to knot the game at 4. The game remained deadlocked as the Cardinals came to bat in the home half of the ninth. After a one-out single by Molina, Craig earned his chance to shine, pinch hitting for Rosenthal. Boston countered with closer Koji Uehara. Craig thwacked a double to left, putting the winning run 90 feet away. What followed was madness. John Jay grounded to second. Pedroia gunned down Molina at home, then Saltalamacchia fired the ball to third in an attempt to nail Craig and force the game into overtime. But the throw caromed off third baseman Will Middlebrooks’ glove as well as the runner’s body before bounding into left field. Middlebrooks, lying flat on the ground, tripped Craig as he attempted to score. Third base umpire Jim Joyce quickly signaled that Middlebrooks had obstructed the runner as Nava made a strong throw home. Home plate umpire Dana DeMuth observed Joyce’s call and gave the safe sign even though Craig appeared to be out. Confusion reigned for several minutes until it became clear that the umpiring crew firmly backed Joyce. With Craig’s tally, St. Louis stumbled to a 5–4 victory and a lead in the series. For Game 4, Boston rolled out Clay Buchholz, who had suffered from a shoulder problem in the second half of the season. St. Louis nominated dependable starter Lance Lynn. Fielding would once again play a role as Ellsbury misplayed a single by Carpenter in the third, allowing him to advance to second. Beltran drove Carpenter home with a single. Buchholz gutted it out for four innings, allowing only the unearned run the third, before giving way to the bullpen and before the Sox’ offense got going when Ortiz doubled in the fifth. After two walks, he scored on a sacrifice fly by Stephen Drew to tie the game, 1–1. At that time Drew, who was enduring a horrific postseason offensively, was hitting .089 with 17 strikeouts in 45 at-bats. The sixth inning started easily enough for Lynn as he retired the first two batters. After a Pedroia single and a walk to Ortiz, Seth Maness was charged with dealing with Gomes, a last-minute replacement in the lineup. It didn’t work, as Gomes blasted the ball over the left field wall for a three-run homer. St. Louis cut the lead to 4–2 in the seventh on a double by pinch-hitter Shane Robinson and a single by Carpenter. With one out in the bottom of the ninth, a pinch-hitting Craig collected a single off Uehara. Kolten Wong was called in to run. Carpenter popped out, bringing on Beltran, who never had a chance to tie the game, as Uehara picked a napping Wong off first to end the game and knot the Series. Game 5 saw Lester and Wainwright face each other again, this time in St. Louis. Ortiz again brought the lumber. He followed a first-inning Pedroia double with one of his own, giving the visitors a quick 1–0 advantage. The score remained the same until the fourth, when Holliday pounded a Lester offering deep over the center field wall to tie the game. It remained tied
2013 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON IN REVIEW
till the seventh, with Wainwright fanning nine over the first six innings, then opening the seventh by claiming Nava as his 10th victim. Bogaerts followed with a single, and Drew walked. A ground-rule double by Ross plated Bogaerts, and an Ellsbury single brought Drew home. Lester tossed an effective 7.2 innings, yielding only four hits while whiffing seven and walking none. He gave way to Uehara, who pitched perfectly the rest of the way for his second save of the Series after Boston’s 3–1 win. Returning to Beantown for Game 6 presented a rare opportunity: to see the first Red Sox team to win the World Series at home since 1918. Lackey was sent to face Wacha, the hottest pitcher of the postseason. Wacha loaded the bases in the third via a single to Ellsbury, an intentional walk to the serially dangerous Ortiz, and a hit batter. Up stepped Victorino, who had missed the previous two games with a stiff back. With two out, he banged a double off the Green Monster, sending all three runners home. The fourth proved no less ominous for the visitors, when slump-bedeviled Drew greeted the rookie with a ong home run to right center. Ellsbury doubled one out later. A Pedroia fly out moved the runner to third before Ortiz was issued an intentional pass again. Enter Lance Lynn, trying to preserve the fading St. Louis hopes. Napoli singled, Gomes walked, and Victorino singled to give the Red Sox a huge six-run lead. Lackey, having pitched in relief three days earlier, was spent by the seventh, allowing three hits (including an RBI knock by Beltran), a walk, and a wild pitch before being pulled. Red Sox relievers were perfect the rest of the way, including Uehara, who came in to protect the five-run lead in the ninth. Thirteen pitches later, the 6-1 triumph was sealed and the heavily bearded BoSox streamed onto the field to celebrate in the shadow of the “B Strong” logo adorning the Green Monster. Mighty David Ortiz was a no-brainer for MVP, setting a Series record by batting .688 (11-for-16) with eight walks, two homers, and six ribbies.
TROPHY SHELF In contrast to the contentious arguments over their Hall of Fame voting, the Baseball Writers Association of America was remarkably like-minded when it came to its postseason award balloting. Thus, only one of the eight major BBWAA awards was seriously contested in 2013. For the second year in a row, relief pitchers failed to impress at awards time. Both leagues’ Cy Young Awards were dominated by starting pitchers, with only one reliever cracking the top 10 in the NL and only two in the AL. No closer received a first-place vote, and none finished higher than fourth. No bullpen denizen showed up among the top five in rookie voting in either league. [Note that, because balloting for all BBWAA awards is conducted prior to the postseason, the performances of the award winners after the end of the regular season are not discussed in this section. See “2013 Annual Baseball Awards” on page 91 for a comprehensive list of other 2014 award winners.]
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER Miguel Cabrera of Detroit repeated as American League Most Valuable Player, oddly while turning in a better performance offensively than in his combined Triple Crown–MVP season of 2012. Andrew McCutchen of Pittsburgh gained his first trophy in the National League. Cabrera became the first back-to-back AL MVP since Frank Thomas of the White Sox in 1993–94. The Detroit superstar set career highs while leading the majors in batting average, on-base, and slugging, posting a very impressive .348/.442/.636 slash line despite suffering from a groin problem that left him unable to generate much power in September and the postseason. He also finished second in the AL in runs, hits, and homers, and third in walks. The 30-year-old slugger garnered 23 of 30 first-place votes and seven second-place tallies to total 385 points.
81
Sophomore star Mike Trout finished second to Cabrera again. Five electors placed him first on their ballots, 19 listed him second, and three others named him third. He also received a fourth-place, a fifth-place, and a seventh-place vote. Trout’s second-place finish did not raise the major controversy it did in 2012, partly because his defensive ratings in center field declined. Still, the 22-year-old paced the league in runs and walks while batting .323 with 27 homers, 39 doubles, and 33 steals in 40 tries. The Anaheim center fielder wound up with 282 points, 50 more than Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, whose 53 homers and 138 RBIs topped all big-league hitters. Davis received one first-place vote. Josh Donaldson, who earned the final first-place vote while manning the hot corner for the Athletics, was fourth in the balloting with 222 points. Second baseman Robinson Cano of the Yankees finished fifth with 150 points. The top five in the AL MVP tally were named on all 30 ballots. Andrew McCutchen won the senior circuit’s MVP despite a year not quite as good offensively as his 2012 campaign. McCutchen’s Triple Crown numbers were down: he hit .317 with 21 homers and did not lead the league in any offensive category in 2013. He benefitted, however, from a summer-long narrative of being the best all-around player on the upstart Pirates as they contended in the NL Central and ultimately won a Wild Card berth. In terms of the key averages, Pittsburgh’s 26-year-old center fielder stacked up better, ranking third in the NL in on-base, sixth in slugging, and seventh in batting average. McCutchen nailed down 28 of 30 first-place votes and was named second and third once each, amassing 409 points. Trailing McCutchen with 242 points was Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who placed second on 15 ballots and third on nine (along with one fourth-place, three fifth-place, and two sixth-place votes). Goldschmidt paced the NL with 36 homers and 125 RBIs while hitting .302 with 99 walks. The fact that 19 of those walks were intentional, most in the NL, showed both his impact and lack of strong offensive support. The two St. Louis writers in the BBWAA electorate voted for Yadier Molina, who finished third with 219 points after hitting .319 with 44 doubles and 80 RBIs while contributing the signal defensive skills for which he has become celebrated. The veteran catcher for the NL Central winners was named by non-local electors in every spot except sixth and eighth on the 10-place ballot. St. Louis infielder Matt Carpenter, with 194 points, and Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman (154 points) rounded out the top fivers; both were named on all 30 ballots. Carpenter, who at 27 turned in a surprisingly good season, topped the majors in runs, hits, and doubles. Freeman, just 23, hit .319 with 23 homers for the NL East titlist Braves.
CY YOUNG AWARD When the 2013 regular season drew to a close, there was little doubt as to who would be the Cy Young Award winners. Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw continued his superb run by winning his second National League Cy Young award, garnering 29 of 30 first-place votes and 207 of a possible 210 points. The astounding 25-year-old starting pitcher also captured the trophy in 2011 and finished second in 2012. In the American League, Tigers starter Max Scherzer, who went 21–3, nailed down 28 of 30 first-place votes to run away with the award, his first. Kershaw led the majors with a microscopic 1.83 ERA and has now won three consecutive NL ERA crowns, while also topping the loop in strikeouts in two of the last three years. With a 16–9 record, the southpaw finished third in the league in wins. Adam Wainwright took the other first-place vote and 15 second-place votes to become the runner-up in NL balloting with 86 points. The St. Louis righthander led the league in wins, complete games, starts, and innings, but was seventh in ERA.

THE EMERALD GUIDE TO BASEBALL 2014
A distant third in the polling with 62 points was Florida’s 21-year-old sensation Jose Fernandez, named NL Rookie of the Year. The junior league balloting was almost as lopsided. Scherzer’s 203 points were well ahead of two Japanese right-handers, Texas starter Yu Darvish (93 points) and Hisashi Iwakuma of Seattle (73 points). Scherzer, a 29-year-old right-hander, topped the AL in wins and also in winning percentage at .875. He lowered his ERA by nearly a run from 2012 and, for the second consecutive season, finished second in the league in strikeouts. Darvish, who garnered 19 second-place nods, topped the majors with 277 strikeouts while posting a 13–9 record. Iwakuma, a 32-year-old righty from Japan who, like Darvish, was pitching in his second season in the majors, was named second six times and third 12 times. He ranked third in the AL in ERA. The other AL first-place votes went to starters Anibal Sanchez of Detroit and Chris Sale of Chicago, who finished fourth and fifth in the balloting, respectively.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR The state of Florida owned MLB’s Rookie of the Year process in 2013. Up north, Wil Myers of the Rays took the AL honors while, down south, Jose Fernandez of the Marlins nabbed the award. Myers, acquired by Tampa Bay from Kansas City in the 2012–13 offseason in a major deal that sent pitchers James Shields and Wade Miley to the Royals, hit .286 with 14 homers at Triple-A before his big-league debut June 18. The 22-year-old right fielder endured a slow start and a midseason slump to bat .293 with 23 doubles and 13 homers in 88 games as the Rays finished second in the AL East. Named atop 23 of 30 ballots, Myers also received five second-place votes and one third, garnering 131 points. One voter left Myers off the ballot. Finishing a distant second with 80 points and five first-place votes was shortstop Jose Iglesias, who debuted with Boston but was dealt to Detroit on July 30. A premier glove man from the day he first put on a uniform, Iglesias also hit a surprising .303 overall. Pitchers Chris Archer of Tampa Bay (9–7, 3.22 in 23 starts) and Dan Straily of Oakland (10–8, 3.96 in 27 starts) each received a first-place vote and finished third and fourth in the voting with 35 and 15 points, respectively. In the NL, Fernandez was about as close to a cinch as possible, appearing first on 26 ballots and second on the other four, while piling up 142 of 150 possible points. The right-hander posted a 12–6 mark and a sparkling 2.19 ERA, second in the league, in 28 starts for the last-place Marlins. Only 21 years old, Fernandez brought plenty of excitement to his appearances, showing a youthful vigor and intensity that excited fans even as it rubbed some opponents the wrong way. He was only the second Cuban native to win a rookie trophy; Tony Oliva in 1964 was the first. Yasiel Puig, 22-year-old Dodgers outfielder who became an instant sensation after a June 3 call-up from Double-A, received the other four first-place votes and 25 second-place votes, amassing 95 points despite being left off one ballot. Puig, also Cuban, hit .319/.391/.534 in 104 games while playing right field with an attitude varying from all-out to nonchalant. It is difficult to envision the Dodgers having won the NL West without his contributions. Hurler Shelby Miller of St. Louis, whose 15–9, 3.06 campaign might have been enough to win the trophy in some years, nailed down the final secondplace vote and finished third with 12 points.
MANAGER OF THE YEAR The success of the underdog Indians and Pirates in 2013 was reflected in honors for their managers. Terry Francona, in his first year running Cleveland, was named American League Manager of the Year, while National League honors went to Clint Hurdle, at Pittsburgh’s helm since 2011.
The 54-year-old Francona took the Indians, whom most had counted out in the preseason polls, to the AL Wild Card game. Cleveland improved 24 games in 2013 to finish 92–70, just one game behind the Tigers in the AL Central. The Tribe lacked a marquee offensive player, and none of their pitchers won more than 14 games; managers usually get credit for teams like that, which are perceived as overachievers. Certainly Francona helped to assemble a quality bench and a solid bullpen. He received 16 of 30 first-place votes in the balloting and collected 112 points overall. Finishing second in the balloting with 96 points (including 12 first-place ballots) was Boston’s John Farrell, who in his first campaign led the club to the AL East title. The Red Sox brought in a passel of new players during their 2012–13 offseason overhaul, and Farrell won plaudits for his ability to calm down an often fractious clubhouse. Boston improved 28 games over its last-place finish in 2012. Oakland skipper Bob Melvin, who has taken his club to the last two ALCS, garnered the remaining two first-place votes and finished third with 36 points. Hurdle’s Pirates were the surprise club of the senior circuit, winning a Wild Card berth by finishing 94–68, just three games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central. Hurdle, 56, received plenty of attention for his positive attitude and for his ability to keep his club focused and motivated. With the Bucs posting their first winning season since 1992, the skipper got 25 of 30 firstplace votes and 140 points. Don Mattingly of the NL West titlist Dodgers finished second in the balloting, garnering two first-place votes and 68 points despite almost being fired before LA caught fire in June. Atlanta’s Fredi Gonzalez, whose club won an easy NL East crown despite injuries and poor performance from some key regulars, was third, with three first-place votes and 43 points overall.
CHANGING OF THE GUARD The Indians finalized a management shift on January 10 when MLB approved Paul Dolan—Cleveland’s president and CEO since 2011—as the club’s “control person” (i.e., the official club representative and decisionmaker for all MLB purposes). Paul’s father Larry, the Indians’ owner since 2000, stepped down a month before turning 82. The 2013 season was anything but calm in Texas as the Rangers underwent a drawn-out and traumatic front-office upheaval. In March, the Rangers promoted GM Jon Daniels to president of baseball operations and named Rick George, the club’s COO, as president of business operations. Rangers’ CEO, Hall of Famer, Lone Star state baseball legend, and now former president Nolan Ryan was reported to be very concerned that his role was diminishing, though the club tried to put a smooth patina on affairs. As the season progressed, it became clear that Daniels had won the battle with Ryan, and the resulting controversy embarrassed the organization. George resigned in July to become the University of Colorado’s athletic director as some of Daniels’ decisions went directly against Ryan’s advice. Ryan, meanwhile, fumed when the Rangers traded three young pitchers— most notably C.J. Edwards—to the Cubs for Matt Garza in July. He was also reported to be personally offended when Daniels fired bench coach Jackie Moore, a longtime ally of Ryan’s, in October. On October 17, the final curtain came down on the season-long drama when Ryan resigned as club CEO, effective at the end of the month. The team’s co-chairmen and principal owners, Ray Davis and Bob Simpson, reportedly tried to convince Ryan to stay but eventually bought out Ryan’s ownership shares. A week later, Davis was confirmed as the Rangers’ control person by MLB. Ryan became president of the Rangers in 2008 under former owner Tom Hicks. In 2010 he, along with Chuck Greenberg, Davis, and Simpson, purchased the club in a bankruptcy auction. The following year, Greenberg left the organization after losing a power struggle with Ryan.
2013 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON IN REVIEW
MLB’s other Texas franchise also underwent an important change in the front office. For multiple reasons, Houston president and CEO George Postolos resigned on May 13. Formerly president of the NBA Houston Rockets, Postolos was responsible for creating the “new Astros”—sweeping out every vestige of the old Astros under the purview of owner Jim Crane. But there’s a difference between getting rid of players who can no longer help you and shoving out valuable institutional memory in the person of broadcasters, front-office workers, and coaches. With the club’s relentless rebuilding program underway, it was going to be difficult in 2013 for fans to root for the Astros, knowing they would be very bad—and it became even harder with an almost entirely new broadcast team, with new advertising signs marring the view over Minute Maid’s left-field wall, and with the very poor market penetration of Comcast SportsNet Houston. Postolos was saddled with much of the blame for the bitter battle between Comcast—the team’s exclusive TV rightsholder—and Houston-area cable operators, who apparently were negotiating for lower rate for Astros’ television games than the size of the market would justify. While Crane credited Postolos with helping to facilitate the sale of the franchise from Drayton McLane in 2011, little has gone right on or off the field for Houston since then. Rumors swirled that Nolan Ryan would step into Postolos’s shoes, but it was Ryan’s son, Reid, who replaced the Astros’ president three days after his forced resignation. Reid Ryan came to the Astros as president and CEO of Ryan-Sanders Baseball, which owned and managed minor-league franchises in Corpus Christi and Round Rock, Texas. On July 17, San Diego hired NFL Miami Dolphins executive Mike Dee as their new president and CEO. Though the moves were reported to be unrelated, the Dolphins two months later hired Tom Garfinkel—whom Dee had replaced in San Diego—as their new president and CEO. Garfinkel had been with the Padres for four years and, before that, executive vice president and chief operating officer with the Diamondbacks.

Michael Hill, Miami’s nominal general manager for the last six years, was promoted on September 29 to president of baseball ops and will now get to actually run the club, likely subject to Loria’s widely reported handson ownership style. Assistant GM Dan Jennings was promoted to GM to replace Hill. In the City of Brotherly Love, the Phillies’ performance up till Manuel’s firing (53–67) argued strongly for a new direction, but the club’s front office— which defended its belief in scouting and traditional statistics and its lack of faith in newer analytical metrics—certainly shared the blame for the club’s rapid fall from contention. The 69-year-old Manuel, the club’s skipper since 2005, won five division titles, two pennants, and a World Series with Philly. GM Ruben Amaro was in tears when announcing the change; several months later, Manuel would rejoin the organization’s front office as an adviser. The ouster of the popular veteran skipper paved the way for Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg to take the reins of a big-league club for the first time. Sandberg, who began his professional career with the Phillies before his infamous 1982 trade to the Cubs, was initially an interim replacement but, on September 22, the temporary tag was removed. Sandberg guided the Phils to a 20–22 record over the last six weeks of 2013. Perhaps the most obvious and expected axing was the Cubs’ decision to relieve manager Dale Sveum of his duties, which occurred the day after Chicago’s season had ended with a sorry 66–96 mark. Sveum’s job was nearly impossible—to maintain respectability during a full-scale rebuilding process—and it became even harder when youngsters Starlin Castro, Anthony Rizzo, and Darwin Barney struggled at the plate and some veteran pitchers flamed out. In his two seasons, Sveum compiled a 127–197 mark in the Wrigley dugout. Chicago named Rick Renteria, formerly bench coach of the Padres, as the club’s new skipper on November 7. The 52-year-old California native is the Cubs’ first Latino manager in more than three decades. The club’s choice of Renteria was likely influenced by the fact that most of the team’s top minorleague prospects are Latino.
Garfinkel left after the Padres’ new owners had been in charge only 11 months, and the Padres gave him credit for helping smooth the transition from Jeff Moorad’s troubled regime to Ron Fowler’s. The departure reportedly was due to a difference in philosophy with the new ownership, and Garfinkel said that an NFL job had always been his priority. Dee had been part of Larry Lucchino’s management team in San Diego from 1995 through 2002 before shifting to the Red Sox, where he served as COO as well as president of Fenway Sports Group. The Dolphins released Dee from his contract to allow him to return to the Padres.
Cincinnati also changed helmsmen, firing Dusty Baker on October 4, three days after the Reds were defeated by the Pirates in the NL Wild Card game. Baker’s charges had lost their final six games, including the play-in contest, which helped seal his fate. The veteran skipper posted a 509–463 record in the hot seat at Great American Ball Park in six seasons.
The 2013 season featured only one managerial change during the season: Philadelphia’s Charlie Manuel on August 16. Five other clubs made changes following the season. Only one MLB club, the turmoil-racked Marlins, changed its general manager in 2013.
In November 2012, Washington’s Davey Johnson had announced his intention to retire after the 2013 season, and he followed through on that promise. The Nationals named former Giants and Diamondbacks star third baseman Matt Williams as their new manager on October 31. Williams had actually been hired at least a week before, but the announcement was delayed until the World Series ended.
Two days before the end of the regular season, meddlesome Miami owner Jeffrey Loria shook up his front office by firing president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest. Beinfest, the club’s de facto GM, had run the Marlins since Loria acquired them before the 2002 season. Beinfest’s team won a world championship in 2003 as a Wild Card entrant, and they were widely credited (until 2011) for remaining competitive on a small budget. In reality, though, Beinfest’s charges finished as high as second only one other time from 2003–14, and their competitiveness was generally limited to hanging around in the Wild Card race till August. Beinfest spent freely in the 2011–12 offseason to build an expensive veteran team that would seriously contend during the inaugural season of Marlins Park. That team collapsed in June 2012, though, finishing last in the NL East and generating a massive salary purge that ensured another last-place finish in 2013—and sealed Beinfest’s fate.
Cincy’s new manager on October 22 was an internal promotion: Bryan Price, Baker’s pitching coach. Price became one of only three former pitchers currently managing an MLB club; it is the 51-year-old Price’s first managerial assignment at any level.
Detroit’s Jim Leyland, 68, ceded his post shortly after the Tigers were eliminated by the Red Sox in the ALCS. In his eight seasons running the Tigers, Leyland won a pair of AL pennants, three Central Division titles, and one AL Wild Card berth, with an overall 700–597 mark, helping to completely change the perception of the previously downtrodden franchise. On November 3, the Tigers named former big-league catcher Brad Ausmus— who wrapped up an 18-year playing career in 2010 before spending three years as a special assistant in the Padres’ front office—as their new manager. Lloyd McClendon, Detroit’s batting coach, interviewed for the Detroit job, but ended up getting hired by Seattle to replace Eric Wedge, who had resigned on September 27 (effective at season’s end). Wedge, Seattle’s manager since 2011, believed he would be fired not just for

the team’s 2013 performance (71–91), but also because of his deep philosophical disagreements with GM Jack Zduriencik, president Chuck Armstrong (who retired on January 31), and CEO Howard Lincoln. A piece in the Seattle Times on December 7, written by Geoff Baker, painted a picture of dysfunction, dissension, and torpor, laying the blame at the top three levels of management. Baker reported that he had spoken to more than two dozen Mariners employees, former employees, and associates for the story. Apparently confirming his intention to retire after 2014, Commissioner Allah H. (Bud) Selig promoted Executive Vice President for Economics & League Affairs Rob Manfred to MLB’s Chief Operating Officer on September 30. Selig had not filled the position after former MLB President and COO Bob DuPuy had resigned three years earlier. Michael Weiner, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association since he succeeded Don Fehr in late 2009, passed away on November 21, a month short of his 52nd birthday. Weiner had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in August 2012, but remained active with the union as long as he was physically able.
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
The well-liked Weiner earned respect from both labor and management and received credit for helping rebuild the toxic player-management dynamic in the late 1990s into the relatively peaceful relationship that has prevailed since the early 2000s. Previously the union’s general counsel, he had worked at the MLBPA since 1988. Former big-league first baseman Tony Clark, director of player services for the MLBPA, was named acting director of the Players Association the day before Weiner’s death and was confirmed as executive director two weeks later. Former Cardinals and Phillies catcher and longtime broadcaster Tim McCarver announced during the 2013 season that he would leave his post as Fox Sports’ primary analyst following the World Series. McCarver, who first went behind the mike on Phillies broadcasts in 1980, did sign up for a homecoming of sorts, agreeing to call 30 games on Fox Sports Midwest for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2014. Popular Boston TV analyst Jerry Remy took the rest of the season off from the Sox’ broadcasts when his troubled son Jared was arrested after Jared’s wife Jennifer Martel was murdered on August 15. The Dodgers let go of road TV announcers Eric Collins and Steve Lyons and, for 2014 away games that Vin Scully does not call, will instead feature Charley Steiner and Orel Hershiser. On those games, Nomar Garciaparra will replace Steiner in the radio booth, working alongside Rick Monday. Milwaukee added TV announcer Matt Lepay to its crew for approximately 35 games to augment regular play-by-play man Brian Anderson, who continues to increase his national profile with network games. Radio legend Bob Uecker, 79, a member of the Brewers’ radio team since 1972 and lead voice for the club for more than 30 years, announced that he would cut back on traveling in 2014. Other broadcasting changes included former Blue Jays commentator Jack Morris taking a job with Minnesota’s radio-TV crew, while Cubs radio color man Keith Moreland resigned his job in November 2013 and was replaced by former infielder Ron Coomer. The Mets changed radio affiliates for 2014, shifting to WOR after being with WFAN since 1983 (when it was WHN). Across town, the Yankees also shifted radio homes, taking over the vacant slot at WFAN after leaving WCBS. The Marlins relocated to WINZ on the radio dial after being carried by WAXY for six seasons.
FAREWELL AND AMEN Stan Musial passed away on January 19, 2013, in suburban St. Louis at age 92. Considered by some the greatest National Leaguer ever, Musial played his entire 22-year career with the Cardinals and amassed 3,630 hits— fourth-most of all-time—along with a .331 lifetime batting average.
Winner of seven batting titles, Musial also clubbed 475 home runs and topped the NL in doubles eight times and runs five times. Ty Cobb said of him in 1952, “No man has ever been a perfect ballplayer. Stan Musial, however, is the closest to being perfect in the game today.” Born in Donora, Pennsylvania, Musial seemed a natural. Originally a pitcher, he took quickly to the outfield and became a regular with St. Louis at age 21. He remained an above-average offensive player until his final game on September 29, 1963. Defensively he was smooth, starting more than half of his career games at first base, playing the rest in left field, right, or center. A left-handed hitter, Musial used an odd batting stance, and his ability was anything but conventional. Musial was a remarkably consistent hitter, posting very similar stats at home and on the road. He also hit lefties well. Voted NL MVP three times, he also finished second on four occasions. He was an All-Star in 20 of his 22 seasons. Riding his big bat, the Cardinals won world championships in 1942, 1944, and 1946, but did not reach the postseason again in Musial’s career. He served one year in the service in 1945. Following his playing days, Musial served as a vice president for the Cardinals from 1964–66 and spent the 1967 season as general manager. Following the team’s World Series win, he left the job to devote more time to his business interests. He was selected for enshrinement in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969, receiving more than 93% of the vote. Virtually everyone inside and outside the game speaks of “Stan the Man” with great respect and warmth. It would take a giant to push the death of Earl Weaver from the headlines, but that’s what happened on January 19, when Weaver and Musial passed on the same day. The diminutive Weaver, who skippered the Orioles from mid-1968 through 1982 and again in 1985–86, died while on a team cruise at age 82. Known both for his forward-thinking strategies and his constant arguing with umpires, Weaver managed Baltimore to six AL East Division titles, four AL pennants, and one world championship in 1970. Five times, his clubs won 100 or more games in the regular season. Born in 1930, he started his managerial career at age 25 when it became apparent that he lacked great playing skills. Weaver moved up the ladder, spending four years in the Eastern League before advancing to the reins of the Rochester Triple-A club in 1966. He began the 1968 season as one of Baltimore manager Hank Bauer’s coaches, taking over in July. From the start, Weaver used his full roster, keeping everyone busy. He platooned at multiple positions, he selected starting pitchers and then put defenders behind them to take advantage of their best pitches, and he adjusted his strategy and tactics to the players he had. He was known for keeping detailed statistical information on player tendencies on index cards—remarkable for the time. Weaver understood that plenty of helpful players were available—maybe not stars, but good enough to help a team win. Weaver also managed a bevy of great players and stars, including Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Eddie Murray, Ken Singleton, Mike Flanagan, Boog Powell, Jim Palmer, Bobby Grich, and Paul Blair. Only under Weaver’s watch, however, did players like Mike Cuellar, Rich Dauer, Pat Dobson, Curt Motton, John Lowenstein, Dick Hall, Gary Roenicke, Don Stanhouse, Don Buford, and others become important contributors to championship teams. Umpires didn’t think much of the irascible Baltimore skipper, however, ejecting him 91 times. Some arbiters, though (notably Ron Luciano), enjoyed the banter and byplay because Weaver knew the rule book inside and out. “The Earl of Baltimore” mentored several future managers and coaches, including Davey Johnson, Don Baylor, Tony Muser, Johnny Oates, Dave Duncan, and Flanagan. Weaver stepped down after the 1982 season, but returned for two unsuccessful campaigns later in the decade before retiring. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1996.
2013 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON IN REVIEW
Paul Blair, one of Weaver’s top players, passed away on December 26, 2013. One of the best defensive center fielders of his era, he was 69. Blair won eight Gold Gloves in a 17-year big-league career that began in late 1964. He spent most of his time with the Orioles, also playing with the Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds. The Mets signed Blair in 1961, but lost him in that winter’s first-year draft. Baltimore made him a major-league regular at age 21 due to his wonderful range, hands, and arm in center field, but it took Blair years to develop as an offensive player. In 1969, at age 25, he batted .285 with 32 doubles, 26 homers, and 20 steals and scored 102 runs: Blair appeared to be on the way to superstardom. Unfortunately, on May 31, 1970, he was beaned by the Angels’ Ken Tatum, suffering a broken nose. Although he claimed to be unaffected, only occasionally after that did Blair contribute much offensively, though he continued his superb work in center field. Well-liked and friendly, Blair was nicknamed “Motormouth” and was a particular favorite of Orioles pitchers for understandable reasons. Two Milwaukee Braves stars of the 1950s, shortstop Johnny Logan and outfielder Andy Pafko, passed away during 2013. Logan, who died August 9 at age 87, made his debut in “The Show” with the Boston Braves in 1951, two years before the franchise moved to Milwaukee. He played with the team until 1961 when, as the team’s dynasty was slipping away, he was dealt to Pittsburgh. A tough customer, Logan was a good shortstop with range and a strong arm, who stood his ground and could turn the double play. His on-field fistfights with Reds infielder Johnny Temple were legendary, and Logan—just 5’11”—even charged the much bigger Don Drysdale on one occasion. While not an offensive star, Logan reached double digits in homers six times, drew his share of walks, was a good contact hitter, and batted .268 in his career. He was an NL All-Star in 1955 and from 1957–59. Without him, it’s doubtful that the Braves could have won the 1957 World Series. Known for his malapropisms (“The immoral Babe Ruth,” “I shall perish this memory forever”), Logan was beloved in Wisconsin. He worked to preserve the history of the Braves and was a frequent visitor to County Stadium and Miller Park, remaining in the Milwaukee area for life. Pafko, who hailed from Boyceville, Wisconsin, 70 miles from the Twin Cities, died at age 92 on October 8 in Michigan. He grew up milking cows and attending a high school so small it did not have a baseball team. Pafko debuted with the Cubs in 1943 after winning the PCL’s MVP award. Two years later, the center fielder finished fourth in NL MVP voting as Chicago won the pennant. The right-handed hitter batted .300 three times in his career, clubbed as many as 36 homers, and twice drove in more than 100 runs. In the outfield, Pafko’s arm was so strong that people simply stopped running on him. While never a superstar, he was beloved by Cubs fans; in the late 1940s, he was the best player the Cubs had. Dealt to Brooklyn in mid-1951, he remained there for a season and a half before being sent to Milwaukee for $50,000 and infielder Roy Hartsfield in January 1953. Pafko became an immediate favorite of the Braves’ rooters, enjoying two solid seasons as a regular right fielder before a young man named Henry Aaron made Pafko a part-timer in 1955. “The Boy from Boyceville” was a member of the 1957 world champions and the 1958 NL pennant-winners, finishing his career with the 1959 Milwaukee squad that lost the NL playoff to Los Angeles. Following his playing career, Pafko managed and scouted for several seasons in the Braves’ chain and also worked for the Montreal Expos. An excellent hitter and a winner of eight Gold Gloves at first base, George Scott died on July 28 at age 69 in his birthplace of Greenville, Mississippi. “The Boomer” finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting for his performance with the 1966 Red Sox. The following season he hit .303 with 19 homers as Boston’s “Impossible Dream” squad nabbed the AL flag.

The powerful Scott intimidated pitchers with his vicious right-handed swing. While he paced the AL in strikeouts his rookie season, he learned to cut down his swing and put the ball in play. He was prone to slumps, but enjoyed some excellent seasons at bat and in the field, where he was graceful and smooth. After being included in a 10-player October 1971 trade to the Brewers, Scott blossomed in Milwaukee. In 1973 he led the AL with 295 total bases and hit .306/.370/.488, and two years later topped the league with 36 homers, 109 RBIs, and 318 total bases. He never reached those heights again but, after returning to Boston in 1977, cranked out another 33 homers and 95 RBIs. His back, and his career, quickly declined after that. Scott finished with 1,992 hits, a .268 lifetime batting average, and 271 home runs. Scott never received a big-league job offer following his MLB playing career. He played in Mexico in the 1980s and also managed independent league in the 1990s and early 2000s. Virgil Trucks, one of the more notable starting pitchers of the 1940s and 1950s and a very interesting figure, passed away on March 23 in Calera, Alabama. He was 95. Nicknamed “Fire” for obvious reasons, the 5’11” righty played for five teams in the majors from 1941 through 1958, wearing Detroit’s Olde English D from 1941 through 1952 and again in 1956. While known as an extremely hard thrower, Trucks credited his success to the development of a changeup and slider. Trucks had a 177–135 career record, and would have won more games had he not missed all but one start in 1944–45 to the war effort. He won 30 games in his first two full seasons with Detroit before going into the navy, and notched double figures in wins 10 times in his career. Trucks enjoyed perhaps his best year in 1949, when he was 19–11 and topped the AL in shutouts and strikeouts. He enjoyed one crack at the postseason. In 1945, Trucks returned from the service in time to make one late-season start, then took the hill twice in the World Series against the Cubs. He won Game 2, 4–1, going all the way, but was knocked out in the fifth inning of Game 6. The strangest year in Trucks’ career was 1952, when he went 5–19 but threw two no-hitters. Following his playing career, he coached in the majors until 1974. He was part of a musical family: his nephew Butch and great-nephew Derek are accomplished blues-rock musicians, both members of the Allman Brothers Band. Umpire Wally Bell died on October 14 at age 48 in Youngstown, Ohio, of a heart attack. Bell worked his way up from the low minors to become one of the best at his profession, working more than 20 years in the majors and being called on for numerous postseason assignments. Bell was promoted to the majors in 1992. Known as a fair, hustling umpire who enjoyed good relationships with both fellow arbiters and players, Bell underwent open heart surgery in 1999 but came back strong. He umpired an NL Division Series just a week before his passing. He is the first active umpire to pass away since John McSherry in 1996. On August 28, retired umpire Frank Pulli died at age 78 in Palm Harbor, Florida, from Parkinson’s disease. Pulli was among the game’s most respected arbiters, working in The Show from 1972 through 1999, before resigning with 21 other umps during a labor dispute engineered by the head of the Major League Umpires Association at the time, Richie Phillips, who also passed in 2013. In his nearly 30 years on the field, Pulli officiated four World Series and six League Championship Series. Pulli was the first umpire to order the use of an instant replay, checking a dugout camera monitor at Pro Player Stadium on May 31, 1999, to determine whether a ball hit by Cliff Floyd had crossed the outfield fence. While reprimanded for the move, Pulli was shown to be an innovator when MLB began using replay in limited situations in 2008. Though his on-field career ended with the ill-fated mass resignation, Pulli became an umpire supervisor and helped implement the QuesTec system that tracked pitch location and plate umpire performance. One 2013 passing was a man who had tremendous impact on the game, yet wasn’t a player, owner, umpire, GM, or broadcaster. Dr. Lewis Yocum,

one of the nation’s foremost orthopedic surgeons, died May 25 at age 65 in Manhattan Beach, California, after a battle with liver cancer. Yocum received his medical degree in 1973, joining the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles in 1977, a premier destination for sports surgery. Dr. Frank Jobe pioneered reconstructive elbow surgery with Dodgers left-hander Tommy John in 1974, and Yocum became one of the new technique’s prime practitioners, operating on many of baseball’s top players. Also the Angels’ team doctor, Yocum was in his 36th season with the club. Three weeks before his death, the franchise dedicated its training room to him.
BUSINESS MATTERS The Grand Old Game did extremely well, business-wise, in 2013. Franchise values skyrocketed as industry revenue was estimated to be $8 billion or more, a new high. The increase was mostly related to the soaring value of local TV rights, as the big jump in national TV rights will not occur until 2014 when the lucrative new contracts with Fox, ESPN, and Turner kick in.
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
At the big-league box office, attendance (i.e., ducats sold) was down one percent to 74,026,895. The average MLB game saw a “crowd” of 30,514 tickets. MLB blamed the decrease on bad weather, with 37 postponements in 2013 as opposed to 21 the year earlier.
GREENBACKS The cost of going to a big-league ballgame was up less than one percent in 2013 on average, according to Team Marketing Report’s annual Fan Cost Index (FCI). The FCI calculated the cost of taking a family of four to an MLB game (including parking, eating, drinking, and buying souvenirs) as $207.80. The average MLB ticket price was $27.48, up two percent. The Red Sox ($336.99), Yankees ($324.30), and Cubs ($298.20) held onto the top three spots in terms of family cost, with Boston and New York also being the only clubs with average ticket prices greater than $50. The Marlins were ranked as the eighth-most expensive by FCI. Miami dropped ticket prices four percent and overall costs five percent after its huge price increases in 2012 when moving into the new ballpark. The decreases obviously weren’t big enough to offset 2012’s debacle and 2013’s 100 losses, though, as the club finished last in the NL at the gate and experienced a 29% second-year drop-off in per-game attendance. The six least expensive teams were all in small markets, with the Diamondbacks being the budget champions at $122.53, even with a seven percent hike in ticket prices and overall. The Padres, Rays, and Indians all had FCI’s between $150–160. The biggest changes from 2012 to 2013 were the Nationals, up 19% to $236.46 after their first October appearance, and the Angels, up a whopping 35% to $196.16 despite their not going to the postseason in the previous three seasons. The value of MLB franchises skyrocketed in 2013 according to Forbes magazine’s annual rankings. Forbes’ analysis was that megabucks national TV contracts negotiated by MLB in 2012, the soaring value of local sports TV rights to RSNs, MLB’s investment fund, and the value of MLB’s Advanced Media (i.e., MLB.com) subsidiary combined to push the average franchise value up 23% to $744 million. Four clubs were worth a billion or more: the Yankees at $2.3 billion, the Dodgers at $1.615 billion, the Red Sox at $1.312 billion, and the Cubs at $1 billion even. In MLB’s less well-heeled neighborhood, four franchises were valued at less than a half-billion: the Rays at $451 million, the Royals at $457 million, the Athletics at $468 million, and the Pirates at $479 million. Those four clubs, however, appreciated an average of 40% each in the past year, as all MLB clubs appreciated 10% or more, save the Angels at 9%. Forbes calculated that average club revenue was up 7% to $227 million, with average operating income (before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) down 9% to $13.1 million. The Yankees and Red Sox led the revenue parade, with New York taking in an estimated $471 million and Boston
$336 million. Eighteen other clubs had revenue between $200–300 million. The remaining 10 had revenue from $167–199 million. Only six clubs lost money in 2012, though it is notoriously difficult to figure out sports teams’ income due to the many ways team owners can take value out of their properties while reducing their apparent profit. The annual Forbes’ estimates for MLB—the industry standard for two decades—are published in March and based mostly on 2012 numbers. In 2013, there was a second set of educated estimates about the fiscal status of the National Pastime, published in October by Bloomberg News. Bloomberg’s valuations were substantially higher than Forbes’, with the average franchise value at $1 billion. Ten MLB clubs topped the billion-dollar mark: the Yankees at $3.4 billion and the Dodgers, Red Sox, and Mets at $2.1 billion. Bloomberg rated six clubs as worth less than $600 million: from the Rays at $530 million to the Marlins at $595 million, with the Royals, Indians, Rockies, and Athletics in-between. The difference between the two sets of estimates was largely due to two factors: Bloomberg included team equity in Regional Sports Networks, while Forbes did not. Additionally, while Bloomberg also used 2012 numbers, it could factor in 2013’s positive fiscal trends in baseball because it published its estimates seven months later. Aggregate MLB team payroll in 2013 was $3.3 billion, making the average team payroll about $110 million. The average MLB player salary was up seven percent to $3,320,089 by management’s calculations. While preseason speculation had the Dodgers deposing the Yankees’ customary perch with the highest payroll, the East Coast plutocrats and their $237 million payroll topped the West Coast plutocrats and their $236.9 million outlay. The Astros’ ruthless rebuilding program left them with only $29.3 million in player compensation; the Marlins at $42.3 million were the only other team below $50 million. The MLBPA, which uses a slightly different calculation, said that the average salary in 2013 was $3,386,212, up five percent. The union set the Astros’ average salary at $549,603—barely above the big-league minimum of $490,000 and the lowest for an MLB club since 1999. The Marlins average salary dropped from 2012’s $3.77 million to $830,069 after their 2012–13 offseason payroll purge. The Players Association noted that it was monitoring both clubs for compliance with the revenue-sharing provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which mandates revenue-sharing be used to improve a team’s competitiveness. MLB’s Competitive Balance Tax (known as the “Luxury Tax”) was applied to two clubs in 2013: the Yankees, of course, and the newly-minted, freespending Dodgers. New York paid $28 million for exceeding the payroll ceiling of $178 million, while LA paid $11 million. It was business as usual for the Bronx Bombers, who have now paid more than a quarter-billion dollars in luxury tax penalties since the tax was implemented in 2003. It was the first time that the Dodgers achieved that distinction. The crucial factor underlying so much of the business of baseball in 2013 was the anticipation of the doubling of national TV revenue in 2014. In late 2012, MLB negotiated new eight-year deals with its TV partners ESPN, Fox, and Turner for 2014–21. ESPN will pay $700 million per season for its regular-season package, plus any tiebreaker games, plus one Wild Card game. Fox will pay $525 annually from 2014–21 for its game of the week, the All-Star Game, two Division Series, one LCS, and the World Series. Turner will pay $325 annually for the other two Division Series, the other LCS, and Sunday afternoon games for the second half of each season. All three networks received a smorgasbord of other valuable broadcast and digital rights. MLB’s total haul was $12.4 billion ($1.55 billion per annum), more than double its 2013 payments. Prime evidence of the explosion in value of regional TV rights was that, in late January, the Dodgers shocked everyone by announcing a 25-year deal with Time Warner Cable (TWC) worth a reported $7–8 billion. A month earlier, the club had reportedly been on the verge of a $6 billion, 25-year

deal with Fox to set up a similar RSN, but that deal apparently foundered during negotiations with MLB as to how it could be structured to shelter most of its value from MLB’s revenue-sharing levy. Fox Sports’ Prime Ticket has carried about 100 Dodgers TV games annually since 1997, and the RSN—not the cable system operator TWC—had been the heavy favorite to partner with the Dodgers on the new venture.
accept in order to buy the Nationals. Now, with other clubs reaping huge sums in return for long-term sale of their TV rights to regional sports networks, the Nationals are pushing back. Despite an attempt by MLB to broker a resolution, the dispute seemed nowhere near a solution at year’s end.
The TWC-LA partnership would create SportsNet LA, a new regional sports network packaged and financed by Time Warner but owned by the club. When it takes to the air in 2014, it will become the seventh RSN in the LA area. The valuation on the complex deal depended on several assumptions, but the fact that TWC apparently guaranteed the revenue to the club set up a sticky discussion with MLB.
Under their new management for a full season, the Dodgers led MLB with paid attendance of 3,743,527. The Cardinals and Giants placed second and third with 3.4 million each. The Yankees continued their streak of leading the AL in attendance for 11 consecutive years, with 3,279,589 tickets spinning the turnstiles in 2013. The four clubs were the only teams averaging more than 40,000 per game.
During the Dodgers’ bankruptcy procedure in federal court, MLB had agreed that the fair-market value of the Dodgers’ TV rights was $84 million per year, escalating at four percent annually. With an estimated average annual value of $280–320 million, the TWC deal would provide a huge windfall for the club if most of the revenue would be excluded from revenue-sharing. However, the caveat was that Los Angeles had to assume the risk of ownership in order to keep money above the $84 million AAV, and the unprecedented SportsNet LA structure involved almost no risk to the Dodgers.
At the nether end of the scale, three teams failed to draw 20,000 per game: the Indians (1.6 million), the Marlins (1.6 million), and Tampa Bay (1.5 million). Miami saw the biggest drop (29%) from 2012, while Toronto saw the biggest rise (21%). The Dodgers, Nationals, and Orioles saw tickets sold rise by 12–13%, The Phillies saw patronage drop 16%; the Brewers, White Sox, and Twins each declined 10–11%.
The amount of lucre at stake was huge ($1-2 billion), depending on how much above the $84 million was subject to the 34% revenue-sharing levy for 25 years. Guggenheim Baseball Management, owners of the Dodgers, negotiated with MLB for months before a tentative agreement was reported in June that would allocate about $2 billion to the revenue-sharing pot over the life of the deal. That was supposedly as much as one billion more than the Dodgers’ new owners had expected to pay. Meanwhile in Houston, Comcast Sports Net (CSN) Houston filed for bankruptcy. The RSN had never really gotten on track after its October 2012 launch, as local cable operators had balked at the carriage fees it asked for. As a result, more than half the homes in the Houston market could not even receive the channel and, therefore, were not able to watch the Astros. The Astros finished last in their division in 2011, 2012, and 2013, losing an average of 108 games each season—giving the RSN little leverage in its carriage negotiations with non-Comcast cable systems and satellite providers. The poor market penetration, combined with the Astros’ execrable play, led to a September Astros game scoring an unheard-of 0.0 Nielsen rating. Overall, Houston’s TV games (all on CSN) were viewed in an average of only 9,000 households. The Astros owns 46% of the channel’s parent company, with the NBA Rockets owning 32% and Comcast holding the final 22%. The messy situation led a federal judge to issue an order in September that prevented the parent from declaring bankruptcy, at least temporarily. The Astros believed that Comcast—despite its equity stake—chose this unusual tactic to avoid paying the club the money it owed. CSN did not pay the Astros for the final months of the season, claiming that it hadn’t enough revenue; the club was scheduled to receive at least $50 million from CSN Houston in 2013. The Astros appeared to want the RSN to fail so they can sell their TV rights on the open market. The NBA team appeared to be obstructing the Astros while hoping to have the Rockets bought out a premium price. Comcast appeared to be banking on a Chapter 11 filing to keep the network alive while renegotiating the RSN’s debts. The other raging argument over the value of local TV rights centered around the nation’s capital, where the Nationals were demanding a huge increase (to $100-120 million) in the annual rights fee they receive from MASN. MASN, an RSN that broadcasts both the Orioles and the Nationals, is controlled by the O’s, with the Nats holding a small minority stake. The RSN initially countered with $34 million per annum, up from the $29 million Washington currently receives. The bitter disagreement was the legacy of the wretched TV deal that MLB forced Washington owner Ted Lerner to

Minor League Baseball fared better, with total attendance of 41,553,781 representing a two percent increase over 2012. The Triple-A Indianapolis Indians took the total attendance crown with 637,579 fans (8,980 per game). Their International League rivals, the Columbus Clippers, had the highest average attendance in the US with 9,212 (635,613 total). The Monterrey Sultanes of the Triple-A Mexican League had the highest average in the minors with 11,145 (590,692 total). Previous attendance leaders Lehigh Valley (IL) and Sacramento (PCL) also topped 600,000. The Class A Dayton Dragons of the Midwest League were the only club below Triple-A in the top 15, drawing 579,946 for an average of 8,405. The Dragons continued to tout their sellout streak, which reached 983 games by the end of the season. This has become a charade, however, as Dayton’s final 2013 game featured thousands of empty seats, and the club was practically giving away tickets to potential postseason games (that were not played). In independent minor-league baseball, the three viable leagues were doing reasonably well. The strongest indie, the Atlantic League, averaged 4,152 tickets sold per game for its eight teams, down six percent from 2012. Three Atlantic franchises—Sugar Land, TX; Long Island, NY; and Somerset, NJ) drew 5,000-plus per opening. The American Association’s 13 teams averaged 3,435, down two percent; the Frontier League’s 13 clubs averaged 2,439, up two percent. The AA’s Winnipeg, MB, club led the indies with average attendance of 5,880, while its Kansas City, KS, club drew 5,420. The five teams of the struggling Can-Am League averaged less than 2,000 per game, down five percent. In Texas, where independent baseball has struggled for years, the United League drew only 1,225 per game and lost one of its five teams. No viable indie league arose on the West Coast, and the future of indie ball in Texas appears to rest on the planned expansion of the Atlantic League after the huge success of Sugar Land in the Houston suburbs. Spring attendance was up slightly in both Florida (1,682,262) and Arizona (1,743,443), boosted by exhibition games against teams playing the 2013 World Baseball Classic. The quadrennial WBC also extended spring training by one week. Average attendance was down 536 from 2012 to 6,691. Two Cactus League games were played in Tucson between the White Sox and Diamondbacks in a nod to the city that hosted one or more big-league spring camps from 1947 through 2010.
NIELSENS Sports Business Journal reported that 2013 local TV ratings for ballclubs were mixed, with 14 teams seeing higher ratings and 15 teams seeing lower ratings. (Toronto is not monitored by Nielsen.) The Tigers repeated their 2012 distinction by pulling the best local ratings in baseball: an eye-popping 9.60 on Fox Sports Detroit. Many big-market clubs saw major declines

in their Nielsens, including both Gotham teams, the White Sox, Phillies, and Rangers. Significantly, the Yankees on YES have suffered from a 44% erosion in viewership since2007; the Mets on SNY, 51%. Ratings for MLB’s precious “jewel events” continued to be very weak. The highlight was the Red Sox–Cardinals Fall Classic, which drew an 8.9 Nielsen rating, up 17% from 2012’s sweep of the Tigers by the Giants that produced the lowest World Series ratings ever. The ALCS on Fox netted a 4.9 rating, up 23% from Fox’s 2012 NLCS coverage; the NLCS on Turner netted a 3.2, down 16% from its 2012 ALCS (comparisons made by network instead of LCS because of the differential coverage of broadcast and cable). The All-Star Game received a 6.9 Nielsen rating, up one percent from its record low in 2012. Ratings for baseball’s semi-precious jewels were also anemic. The muchtouted Wild Card Games delivered only a 3.0 Nielsen for TBS, the same as in their rookie year in 2012. The four Division Series on TBS/TNT averaged a 2.5 rating, up four percent from 2012.
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
Fox, with its enormous investment in baseball, touted the ratings as a “grand slam”: “This year marks the first time since 2001 that all of MLB’s jewel events—All-Star Game, Division Series, both League Championship Series and World Series—posted year to year audience increases. “ True enough, but that’s not so impressive when some of those increases are from all-time nadirs and the rest from near-historic lows. The fact remains that the 2013 World Series averaged only a 15 Share, meaning that 85% of TV sets in use while the Fall Classic was being contested were tuned to something else. Nuf ced.
PALACES OF THE FANS The major ballpark news of the year was Atlanta’s startling announcement on November 11 that the Braves would leave Turner Field after 2016 for a $672 million new ballpark development 10 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta in booming but congested Cobb County. While negotiations had been ongoing for some time, the news had not leaked in advance as is typical for deals of this magnitude. The club advanced many reasons for the move, but they boiled down to three major factors: money, money, and money. First, the City of Atlanta was not willing to pay $200 million for renovations to Turner Field that the Braves wanted. The reason was that, earlier in 2013, the city had committed more than $200 million of scarce public money to subsidize construction of a $1.2 billion, new retractable-roof downtown stadium for the NFL Falcons. Second, the local burghers in Cobb County were willing to subsidize the Braves’ ballpark’s construction with a reported $450 million of their taxpayers’ money. Third, and key to the deal, the Braves would control lucrative development rights to land adjacent to the new ballpark, where the club and the county plan commercial and residential development that they expect will make the combined project a billion-dollar entertainment destination. In late November, Cobb County commissioners approved the Braves’ plan and more financial details were disclosed. The County’s upfront subsidy was set at $300 million, but the Braves were also given the right to trim the project cost by up to $50 million without diminishing the public contribution—in effect, potentially making the club’s real share of the cost substantially less. The team will sign a 30-year lease. When the lights are turned out at Turner, it will become the first retro ballpark to be abandoned, after only 20 seasons of baseball and only 25 years after the opening of Camden Yards revolutionized the business of baseball. A week after the Braves announced their move, Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed said that Turner Field would be demolished after it is vacated, to make room for new development. South of Atlanta on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the Rays’ attempt to find a way to get out of their ironclad lease for Tropicana Field seemed to be making headway when St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster became personally involved
in negotiations in the spring. By late summer, however, Tampa Bay owner Stuart Sternberg was again angry and Commissioner Bud Selig was threatening to have MLB intervene—although what leverage MLB might have was unclear. Selig later backed off, and Foster’s failed reelection bid in November left things up in the air, pending the new mayor’s accession to office in 2014. Across the country from Georgia and Florida, Oakland’s quest for a new ballpark got curiouser and curiouser in 2013. By the end of the year, the shifting of the ground in Northern California caused some to believe that real movement might soon come, but whether the temblors were precursors of a major seismic event or simply advance warning of another year of jabbering and legal maneuvering is anyone’s guess. The year began with the disclosure that the commissioner’s office had given the Athletics preliminary guidelines regarding their desired relocation to San Jose. Neither Oakland nor MLB, curiously, would reveal or discuss what those guidelines were, with MLB saying only that its “committee continues to work hard on this complex, complicated situation.” That would be the curious committee appointed in March 2009 that has yet to publicly meet or to announce anything even though Commissioner Selig said MLB was working “at a rather quick pace” and that the issue was “very much on the front burner—on January 12, 2012. In an unexpected turn of events, the City of San Jose sued MLB in June, claiming the Lords of the Realm had conspired to prevent the Athletics from moving there. The allegations shocked!—shocked!—Major League Baseball. MLB won the first round of courtroom skirmishing when San Jose’s principal antitrust arguments were dismissed, though the federal judge allowed immediate appeal of his ruling while he considers the rest of the lawsuit. Things got more bizarre when MLB’s lawyers revealed in court the existence of a secret letter from the commissioner to Oakland owner Lew Wolff, curiously dated the day before the San Jose suit was filed. MLB legal eagles said the letter had denied whatever the Athletics had asked for, though they refused to disclose the curious letter’s contents. Baseball’s barristers were mighty cagey as to how they parsed their language, so it’s unclear what the commissioner had turned down, though it was reported in December that the curious letter did not rule out a move to San Jose. MLB won a firefight on a different battlefield in November when it curiously threatened to force the A’s to play their home games in San Francisco. The ploy quickly paid off, as the Oakland stadium authority caved in and let the Athletics have a new, two-year lease, on terms very favorable to the club. In any case, Wolff seemed not to have read the secret letter, as his ardor for a new home in San Jose was curiously undiminished. At the end of the year, though, Wolff sorta kinda indicated a semi-hemi-demi interest in the downtown Oakland waterfront site advocated by those seeking to keep the team in the city. That site has many attractive features, as well as many curiously serious obstacles, and its viability and its overall cost continued to be debated heartily. In the Mound City, ground was finally broken in early 2013 by the Cardinals and their commercial development partner on Phase I of a greatly scaleddown Ballpark Village development adjacent to Busch Stadium. The original, overly ambitious plan—which curiously represented a key element of the club’s argument for public subsidy when the new ballpark opened in 2006—was for a $650 million development on the 10-acre site. That plan failed for multiple reasons, though, including the advent of the great recession in 2008. Phase I of the new development is being built around the “Gameday experience” enhancements of “Cardinals Nation” (including the new Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum) and a Budweiser Brew House. In Beantown, the Cardinals’ 2013 World Series opponents were also quite interested in controlling the gameday experience of fans headed for Fenway Park. Just before the postseason began, the Red Sox agreed to pay $7.34 mil-

lion over 10 years for two permanent easements. The first was the lucrative usage of adjacent Yawkey Way as a giant outdoor concession stand and retail shop on game days. The other was for air rights to the portion of Lansdowne Street where the superstructure of Fenway’s chic and pricey Green Monster seats protrude. The club had previously been paying about one-quarter of that amount for the two encroachments. In Chicago, 2013 began with a PR offensive by the Cubs around the theme that it was unfair to prevent them from doing whatever they wanted at Wrigley Field if they were willing to pay for it. Curiously, the various restrictions arising from playing in an historic ballpark located in a residential neighborhood were all known when Tom Ricketts purchased the team in 2009. Attempting to put 2012’s disaster behind them—when promising negotiations with the city to subsidize Wrigley renovations collapsed after a huge political flap caused by papa bear Joe Ricketts—the club seduced several pundits into writing about the enormous amount of revenue the club was deprived of in Wrigley. The quest to create an unbelievably high number—a national writer estimated $73 million annually; a Chicago writer estimated $75–100 million—was underwritten with ridiculous arguments. One was that the Cubs forego millions because they can’t sell naming rights to Wrigley (they can do so anytime they choose, of course). Another was that the Cubs shouldn’t have to pay the city and county sports amusement tax. (completely unrelated to Wrigley, of course.) In March, the mayor of suburban Rosemont surprised everyone by curiously offering the Cubs a 25-acre parcel if they wanted to relocate there and build a new ballpark. The site had a host of drawbacks, and the offer was widely derided for many sound reasons, not the least that it was adjacent to busy O’Hare International Airport. Curiouser, the Cubs—who couldn’t win on the field—won big-time off the field when they received City Council approval in July of their $500 million renovation and redevelopment plan for Wrigley Field and its environs. The agreement included allowing three extra night games annually for a total of 33, plus several additional non-game events like concerts. Commercial development in the plan includes a new $200 million hotel across Clark Street from the historic ballpark. Perhaps the most controversial components are the erection of an enormous LED scoreboard behind left field and a large neon advertising sign behind right field. The team, however, did not commence construction because of threatened lawsuits by adjacent rooftop owners, with whom the Cubs were negotiating. In December, the Cubs scored another big victory by getting Council approval for more changes, including the narrowing of Waveland Avenue and Sheffield Street bordering Wrigley in order to let the team push the left field and right field walls back. In early January, the Dodgers formally unveiled their $100 million upgrade to Dodger Stadium under the direction of superstar ballpark architect Janet Marie Smith. The renovations, already underway, include the de rigueur giant LED scoreboard behind the left field pavilion and a supplemental large video board behind right field. Other improvements were being made to the clubhouses, bullpens, outfield concourses, and infrastructure. The unusual part was a deliberate refusal by the club to make a long-term commitment to actually playing in the renovated Stadium—further fueling rumors that have been buzzing for years about a new downtown ballpark that would make Chavez Ravine available for a new NFL stadium. At the other end of the giant Los Angeles–Orange County metro, the Angels were talking about spending up to $150 million to spruce up their home. In return for paying for those renovations over the next decade, the City of Anaheim curiously offered development rights to more than 100 acres of Angel Stadium’s surrounding parking lots to Angels owner Arte Moreno for 66 years at the curious price of a solitary buck per year. Since the club is obligated by its current lease to pay for renovations anyway, Moreno’s leverage in this curious negotiation was his ability to opt out of the club’s
89
lease after 2016. The implicit threat to move, however, would not be credible if it weren’t for the curious September vote by Anaheim’s city council to extend the opt-out clause till 2019—curiously giving the team time to find a new site and put together financing for a potential new ballpark. At year’s end, everything was up in the air as “ballpark estimates” of the value of the development rights ranged well north of $100 million—though, curiously, no one professed to actually have studied the issue. Rangers Ballpark in Arlington also enjoyed additional renovations before the season, this time behind home plate. A new retail store was added there, the concourse was opened up so fans could see the field from that area, and an extra row of seats behind the dish cut down on foul territory a bit. Normally an excellent hitter’s park, the Rangers’ home was close to neutral in 2013; whether the effect was an aberration or a permanent change will be seen in coming seasons. The Mariners and Padres pulled in their outfield fences somewhat for the 2013 season, hoping to pump up offense and reduce the “Death Valley” reputation of both Safeco Field and Petco Park. The short-term effect in San Diego was a big jump in long balls hit by left-handed batters, though overall scoring actually dropped a bit. In Seattle, the change produced substantially more offense in 2013. In November, Harris County voters refused to approve spending $217 million to renovate the vacant Astrodome into a convention center. Eventual demolition of the first roofed stadium—immodestly called the “Eighth Wonder of the World” when it opened in 1965—seemed almost inevitable, and some exterior portions of the giant structure were imploded in December. Three weeks after the vote in Texas, another ballpark roof made news. In this case, it was a proposed retractable roof that the Nationals curiously wanted, even though Nationals Park was not designed for such an addition. With an estimated price tag of $300 million, the pitch the club made earlier in 2013 to Washington mayor Vincent Gray didn’t go anywhere, probably because the District of Columbia is indebted for more than a half-billion dollars after paying more than 95% of the $700 million tab for the Nats’ new home. In Arizona, the Cubs played their last spring home game at HoHoKam Stadium in Mesa on March 28. After 35 springs at the site—17 years in the current stadium that opened in 1997—Chicago will move about three miles west in Mesa in 2014 to much more upscale Cubs Park, with its anticipated adjacent “Wrigleyville West” commercial development. Oakland signed a 20-year lease with the City of Mesa in March to make HoHoKam (with up to $17 million in city-subsidized upgrades) its spring training home beginning in 2015. The Athwletics will be leaving Phoenix Municipal Stadium, their spring home since 1982. The Athletics trained in Mesa from 1969–78, the last three of those years at the original HoHoKam Stadium.
HOT STOVE LEAGUE While the free agent class of 2013–14 may not have excited some of the pundits, the Hot Stove League ran at high heat after the 2013 World Series. Setting the stage even before the Fall Classic ended, the White Sox signed Cuban slugger Jose Abreu on October 29 to a six-year, $68 million contract on October 29. A revised posting system between MLB and NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball) was announced in mid-December, limiting posting fees to $20 million—though the fee is only payable if the MLB club actually signs the Japanese player. The changes also allow more than one club to negotiate with a posted player if their posting fees are the same. Since the posting fees for star Japanese pitchers Daisuke Matsuzaka in 2006 and Yu Darvish in 2012 each exceeded $50 million, the revised agreement was a clear victory for mid- and small-market MLB clubs that might hope to land a premier import in the future. Foremost in speculation over the winter was the future of Japanese freeagent pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, who had compiled an amazing 24–0 mark

with a 1.27 ERA in 28 games for Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of the NPB Pacific League in 2013. On December 24, Tanaka declared his intention to leave Japan for Major League Baseball.
Washington also signed Nate McLouth for two years plus an option ($10.75 million), and acquired pitcher Jerry Blevins from Oakland for minor-league outfielder Billy Burns.
During a process in which Casey Close, the pitcher’s agent, effectively controlled information about the 25-year-old lefty’s suitors, the Yankees, Cubs, White Sox, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks were known to be bidding for Tanaka’s services, which also would include having to send Rakuten a posting fee of $20 million to compensate the club for its loss.
On December 3, Colorado shipped starting center fielder Dexter Fowler to Houston for pitcher Jordan Lyles and outfielder Brandon Barnes. The Rockies have several young outfielders waiting in the wings and also acquired Drew Stubbs from Cleveland on December 18. The Astros also added reliever Jesse Crain for one year ($3.25 million) and starter Scott Feldman for three ($30 million), both via free agency.
New York also brought several free agents to the Bronx in an attempt to regain a postseason spot, corralling outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury (seven years, $153 million) and Carlos Beltran (three years, $45 million), catcher Brian McCann (five years, $85 million), and infielder Kelly Johnson (one year, $3 million). The deals put the deep-pocketed club very close to the luxury tax line for 2014 unless New York makes some other moves to unload salary. The Bombers’ aggressive pursuit of those players came in part as a way to address the departure of All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano, who rejected a below-market offer from New York and decamped to Seattle, signing a 10-year, $240 million contract on December 12.
2013: YEAR IN REVIEW
In addition to extending a big welcome to Cano, the Mariners—looking to shed their losing ways while fighting off rumors of front-office dysfunction— also signed outfielder Corey Hart (one year, $6 million) and acquired Logan Morrison from Miami, indicating that the club felt the need to burnish its image after four consecutive fourth-place finishes and four losing seasons. The sweeping up of free agents began in haste in mid-November. Philadelphia GM Ruben Amaro Jr., not averse to bringing aboard veterans that might provide a quick fix, signed outfielder Marlon Byrd on November 12 (two years, $16 million).. Amaro, lacking trade chips to bring in young talent and apparently not having financial discretion to bid for upper-tier players, also signed pitcher Roberto Hernandez (the former Fausto Carmona) for $4.5 million for 2014. Philly even brought back one of its former stars, 40-year-old outfielder Bobby Abreu (who sat out 2013). San Francisco, which finished well out of the hunt in 2013, addressed its pitching problem on November 18 by signing Tim Hudson, late of the Braves. Hudson, 38, was captured for two years at $23 million—a high payout unless Hudson recovers fully from the fractured ankle he suffered last July. Aside from adding free-agent outfielder Michael Morse (one year, $6 million), the Giants otherwise stood pat. The offseason’s most intriguing trade came on November 20, when the Tigers sent first baseman Prince Fielder to the Rangers in exchange for second baseman Ian Kinsler. The deal worked well for both, opening first base in Detroit for Miguel Cabrera, while Texas can now insert hotshot young infielder Jurickson Profar into the lineup. Fielder, 29, played every game for the Bengals for the second straight season, but hit just .279 with 25 homers, well below his norm. A dreadful postseason (.225 with only one extra-base hit in 40 at-bats), plus some insensitive comments that riled the fans in Motown, paved the way for his exit. Kinsler slumped to .277 with 13 homers in 2013; Detroit agreed to send an additional $30 million to Dallas down the road to make the expensive deal work. The NL champion Cardinals were active after the World Series. On November 22, they dealt spare infielder David Freese and reliever Fernando Salas to Anaheim for outfielder Peter Bourjos, a speedster with a sterling glove. Two days later, St. Louis signed 32-year-old free-agent shortstop Jhonny Peralta, formerly of Detroit, who had served a 50-day PED suspension from early August to late September. Peralta, who reeled in a four-year, $53 million deal, will replace the offensively-challenged Pete Kozma. The Winter Meetings saw a spate of trades. Detroit made another big splash December 2, sending pitcher Doug Fister to the Nationals for southpaw pitching prospects Ian Krol and Robbie Ray and spare infielder Steve Lombardozzi. Fister, 30, will add to Washington’s already impressive rotation, while the Tigers hope that Ray’s and Krol’s will rebut the widespread criticism of the trade. A day later, the Bengals signed free-agent closer Joe Nathan (two years, $20 million),
Two other closers changed teams on December 3. The Orioles sent Jim Johnson to the Athletics in exchange for second baseman Jemile Weeks, who spent most of last year in the minors. As part of a three-team deal, Arizona shipped Heath Bell (who had lost his job in midseason) and cash to Tampa Bay for Short-Season Class A pitcher Justin Choate and a player to be named (Double-A outfielder Todd Glaesmann on December 13). The rest of the tricornered trade had Cincinnati send catcher Ryan Hanigan to the Rays, while the Diamondbacks sent pitcher David Holmberg to the Reds. The Diamondbacks filled their closer’s role two weeks later, shipping young third baseman Matt Davidson to the White Sox for Addison Reed, who at age 24 clocked 40 saves in 2013. Chicago was happy to convert Reed for Davidson, who they see as a future everyday player. This was the second deal between the two clubs within a week; on December 10, the White Sox had acquired center fielder Adam Eaton from the D-backs in exchange for southpaw starter Hector Santiago. The Diamondbacks wanted, and got, controllable young pitchers; the White Sox wanted, and got, controllable young position players with upside. Arizona immediately converted Santiago and fellow lefty Tyler Skaggs into Anaheim slugger Mark Trumbo, consummating the trade on the same day. The Angels essentially rebuilt their rotation while giving up a player with excellent power but no real position. Other name free agents signed during or just after the Winter Meetings included catcher A.J. Pierzynski (Boston, one year at $8 million), and starting pitchers Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes (both by Minnesota). Nolasco inked for four years and $49 million, while Hughes commanded $24 million for three years. The Mets signed outfielder Curtis Granderson for four years and $60 million and fortysomething starter Bartolo Colon for two seasons and $20 million. The Marlins dusted off their checkbook for a three-year, $21 million contract for catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, heretofore of Boston, and Rafael Furcal, who missed 2013 recovering from Tommy John surgery. The former All-Star shortstop received a one-year contract with a $3 million base and many incentives. Shortly after Christmas, the Rangers snagged one of the offseason’s top prizes, inking free-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo for seven years at $130 million. Texas, whose offense was often fitful in 2013 despite playing in an excellent hitter’s park, now appears much more impressive. The Royals, believing that they are finally ready to challenge for a division title, beefed up. Detroit’s Omar Infante departed on December 16 for KC, which proffered the 32-year-old infielder a four-year, $30 million deal. Kansas City also traded outfielder David Lough to Baltimore for infielder Danny Valencia, signed free-agent catcher Ramon Hernandez to a minor-league deal, inked left-handed starter Jason Vargas, and dealt left-handed pitcher Will Smith to Milwaukee for outfielder Nori Aoki. Many desirable free agents remained unsigned as of the end of 2013, including pitchers Bronson Arroyo, Scott Baker, Grant Balfour, Matt Garza, Ubaldo Jimenez, Paul Maholm, Fernando Rodney, Ervin Santana, infielders James Loney and Kendrys Morales, and outfielder Nelson Cruz. Plus, of course, big prize Masahiro Tanaka was still being stalked by several clubs. — Frank Kras, Jason Nielsen, Joel Rippel, and Doug White also contributed to the Year in Review essay.
