    Traditionally in the MLB, Major League Baseball, a player’s relative worth was measured by his recent successes. The qualitative opinions of scouts, batting average and the number of strikeouts were a few of the various metrics used to gauge a player's value (Lewis 2003). In 2002, general manager Billy Beane of the cash-strapped Oakland Athletics revolutionized baseball. He argued that current player evaluation was inaccurate and inefficient and that the use of new “analytical gauges” of player performance was more telling of player contribution. Beane effectively unveiled the hidden value from overlooked players-hence introducing Moneyball to the one true American pastoral, Major League Baseball. Consequently, sabermetrics: the application of statistical analysis to objective evidence, has been accepted into the game and continues to impact aspects of player evaluation through its continual evolution and search for other undervalued traits to more precisely measure a player’s monetary value.…

    In what I would call baseball's modern era many of the key roles are now played by a single person rather than a different person on any given day. Most pitchers are now thankful to last solid six innings, players hardly make it an average of five years, and those past their prime are downgraded to the designated hitter. No wonder the Babe Ruth era continues to fascinate.…

    Baseball played an influential role in giving people hope throughout the Great Depression. One of the main reasons why baseball improved the morale of the people in the 1930s is because some of the great stars in the history of the game emerged during this ten year period.
