The American Association Almanac

As I move toward the start of the writing process in roughly one week for the spring issue (Vol. 15, No. 1) of the American Association Almanac , I'm wrapping up the work on the eight principal databases I've been constructing since the end of November. They concern the leading triples hitters for each team of the original American Association from 1902 to 1962. Each spreadsheet is designed to make automatic calculations for the percentages I'm most interested easier to perform. My intention in posting this blog was to post an example of one whole file. At this point I'm not sure I'll be able to do that, however, I will offer a sample at the very least. Each spreadsheet covers the career record for each team's top triple hitters. This could include those who led over time or who was among the team's top three producers during a given season. No less than 110 players are listed in any one team's spreadsheet. The totals for each player are derived and sort

This issue of the American Association Almanac (Vol. 14, No. 2) was published in October 2018. Its primary focus is game-by-game descriptions of the American Association postseason which took place on two levels: a four-team playoff followed by a match-up between the winners of those series. Having originated with the Fall 2017 issue covering the seasons 1932-1941, this series will culminate with the playoffs of the 1962 season.
