Paul Wilson Research Paper

738 Words3 Pages

On July 16th, 1996 The New York Mets roughed up the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 7 to 5. One player who contributed to this win was a rookie by the name of Paul Wilson, who just came off six weeks of rest for his right shoulder. Although it was the return of Paul Wilson, there was another Met that over shadowed Wilson, and this guy was Jerry DiPolo. Mr. DiPolo came into the game during the fifth inning with runners on second and third and no outs. Outstandingly enough, he walked off that mound not conceding one run to the Phillies, which gave the crowd something to cheer about and he picked up the win, in just one inning that he pitched. Especially with the weather being as bad as it was with rain, which is a baseball player’s worst nightmare while playing. He needed to take other precautions while pitching. New York moved only 6 games back of the Wild Card leader and DiPolo’s E.R.A was reduced to a 4.06. With this win it gave the Mets players a positive look for winning the series after what they had accomplished in this game and taking a 1-0 series lead even though it is just the regular season.

This would be his first time ever playing on a board court and he took a very relaxed approached to this tournament by just getting some work on adjusting his eyes and feel to the court. He also wanted to keep the point going during practice to further accustom himself to the venue. At this tournament there were quite a few Long Island competitors as well as international ones and they competed just as well at this time.

    A first half half hat-trick by Joe Burgess set up a 34-10 victory for the Bears over Wyong Roos at Morrie Breen Oval. Both teams had eight wins a piece heading into this round and a victory today was important for their semi final aspirations. It was Wyong who would take the early lead with a successful Tyler Cornish penalty kick. That goal would be the only joy Roos fans would have as the Bears stuck their claws in.

  • Why Is Wrigley Field Significant In Chicago

    1308 Words  | 6 Pages

    To start there have been many famous “moments” at Wrigley such as: Ernie Banks’ 500th home run (1970), Kerry Wood 20 strikeout game, Sammy Sosa's 60th homerun in 1998, 1999, and 2001, and Greg Maddux’s 3000th career strikeouts. Another well known famous moment that happened at WRigley was Babe Ruth’s “called shot” during the 1932 world series. Ruth pointed to centerfield suggesting where the next ball would go and Ruth hit a home run there.

  • Voros Mccracken: Luck Played A Role In Baseball

    244 Words  | 1 Pages

    Because self-made men and the American dream are praised so heavily in the United States, we rarely give luck its due credit. It’s strange and unsettling to think that something is completely beyond our control. People reject this idea so much so that Voros McCracken, the pioneer of DIPS theory, received endless hate mail for suggesting that luck played a role in baseball. Posted late at night on a low traffic website, his theory that pitchers had little effect on allowing hits revolutionized the entire sport of baseball. He noticed that defense-independent pitching statistics (DIPS), like strikeouts, walks, and home runs, stats that don't involve a team’s defense, have an extremely high correlation from year to year.

    William Wilcox put up one of his farms, of 254 acres, for sale in 1893. At the age of 65 and widowed he was cutting back on the strenuous effort required to keep all his properties maintained and productive. He would still farm (and a well known respected local farmer he was) on his main homestead on the shores of Horseshoe Lake. His home was nicely nestled by the creek that fed all the lakes from First, Second and Third Lakes through Blackstone, Crane and Little Blackstone until arriving at Georgian Bay. The thought of being one's own boss and the freedoms associated with it seemed to attract Philip.
