Question about Land Shark Stadium

cwyers — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:33:25 -0000

Hi, my name is Colin Wyers and I'm a writer for The Hardball Times. I'm doing a study on the differences between ballparks and how they affect scoring decisions. To do this I need to figure out the location of the press box in each stadium. I'm having a very difficult time with this for Land Shark Stadium.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated - if you just want to list off where it's at on the seating chart, that'd be great. Photos would be even better.

Thanks in advance,

What should I write about?

Many of the old-timers around here may recognize me; my name is Colin Wyers and I've written for the Cubs blog Goatriders of the Apocalypse in the past (and I gather they've survived just fine since I've left) and I'm currently a contributor to the Hardball Times. I'm - ahem - rather stats-oriented in my work.

For the third year running, Al has asked me to contribute an article to the Cubs annual he edits. I'll confess - I'm rather blocked as to what I should be writing about this year.

So I'm curious - what would y'all like to see an article about? Post a comment and let me know. I'm not promising to use the most popular idea (I have to figure out how to fit something into my word budget, among other concerns) but I'm open to a lot of idea. Thanks in advance!

Why does Pujols regress to the mean?

Why does Pujols regress to the mean?

Like I promised in the thread about relief pitcher WAR, an article about regression to the mean that addresses the problem faced with regressing players who are only at this point potential major leaguers.
