After years of burning through gigantic piles of cash Tesla may be on its way to profitability. In a series of emails obtained by CNBC, CEO Elon Musk reportedly reached out to employees over the weekend in a plea to "ignore all distractions" and focus on the weekend to close out the fiscal quarter, potentially placing Tesla in the black for the first time in the company's history.
During Tesla's last quarterly earnings call, Musk noted that the company expected to be profitable by the end of Q3. In emails sent to employees last week by the CEO, it's clear just how close Tesla is to achieving profitability, albeit a dollar figure isn't noted. However, the automaker believes that a single weekend could make-or-break its goal.
"We are very close to achieving profitability and proving the naysayers wrong, but to be certain, we must execute really well tomorrow (Sunday)," read one of the emails sent by Musk on Sunday, the last day of the fiscal quarter. "If we go all out tomorrow, we will achieve an epic victory beyond all expectations."
Tesla recently accepted volunteers from the community of ambitious Model 3 owners to push out its vehicles and streamline deliveries. After admitting that "production hell" was lightening up, logistical concerns were now on the horizon. The automaker claims to have begun to build its own car carriers to ship more vehicles to its customers, as well as offered a special delivery event in its home state of California earlier this month. Both events hint at Tesla pushing towards accelerating deliveries in what seems like an attempt to make its goal of profitability.
Tesla hasn't publicly announced any financial information regarding its end-of-quarter push, and it most likely won't until its next quarterly earnings call. Musk also hasn't been overzealous with hyping the news on Twitter, something which recently earned both the CEO and the company individual fines of $20 million with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as a need to police the CEO's Tesla-related Tweets.
Should Tesla post a profit, the automaker will show that its early investment into electrification is paying off in a big way. Meanwhile, other big-name manufacturers are beginning to follow on Tesla's coattails, sinking funds into their own electric projects after seeing just how many Americans are buying the Model 3.

Home current affairs gktoday Globalization International Relations hydrogen economy hydrogen fuel monthly magazine news seekers ST Hydrogen Fuel
June 27, 2019 current affairs, gktoday, Globalization International Relations, hydrogen economy, hydrogen fuel, monthly magazine, news, seekers, ST,
Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed in a fuel cell, produces only water.
We are so dependent upon the depleting resources of fossil fuels. The major sources of fuel remain petroleum, coal or diesel.
These fuels are condensed remains of living organisms of prehistoric times. Therefore, the supply of these fuels is limited and will eventually run out.
The rising temperature of the earth is another worry, and due to the use of unclean fuel, the greenhouse gas emission threatens the existence of species.
The universe we live in is made up to 75 % of hydrogen, however, on the surface of the earth, the hydrogen is not in its purest form.
Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind. These qualities make it an attractive fuel option for transportation and electricity generation applications.
What is Hydrogen Fuel?
Hydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel when burned with oxygen. It can be used in electrochemical cells or internal combustion engines to power vehicles or electric devices. It has begun to be used in commercial fuel cell vehicles such as passenger cars and has been used in fuel cell buses for many years.
Hydrogen is an energy carrier that can be used to store, move, and deliver energy produced from other sources.
How can hydrogen benefit mankind?
New hydrogen-powered electric flying vehicles will someday serve as taxis, cargo carriers and ambulances of the sky, but experts say they will have to clear a number of regulatory hurdles before being approved for takeoff years in the future.

How does Hydrogen Fuel Produce?
Hydrogen fuel can be produced through several methods. The most common methods today are natural gas reforming (a thermal process), and electrolysis. Other methods include solar-houses, for portable power, and in many more applications.
1. Thermal Processes
Thermal processes for hydrogen production typically involve steam reforming, a high-temperature process in which steam reacts with a hydrocarbon fuel to produce hydrogen. Many hydrocarbon fuels can be reformed to produce hydrogen, including natural gas, diesel, renewable liquid fuels, gasified coal, or gasified biomass. Today, about 95% of all hydrogen is produced from steam reforming of natural gas.
Extreme Floods are going to be new normal..
Will 2019 bring more calamities?
2. Electrolytic Processes
Water can be separated into oxygen and hydrogen through a process called electrolysis. Electrolytic processes take place in an electrolyzer, which functions much like a fuel cell in reverse—instead of using the energy of a hydrogen molecule like a fuel cell does, an electrolyzer creates hydrogen from water molecules.
3. Solar-Driven Processes
Solar-driven processes use light as the agent for hydrogen production. There are a few solar-driven processes, including photobiological, photoelectrochemical, and solar thermochemical. Photobiological processes use the natural photosynthetic activity of bacteria and green algae to produce hydrogen. Photoelectrochemical processes use specialized semiconductors to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. Solar thermochemical hydrogen production uses concentrated solar power to drive water splitting reactions often along with other species such as metal oxides.
4. Biological Processes
Biological processes use microbes such as bacteria and microalgae and can produce hydrogen through biological reactions. In microbial biomass conversion, the microbes break down organic matter like biomass or wastewater to produce hydrogen, while in photobiological processes the microbes use sunlight as the energy source.

What is Hydrogen Economy?
In 1970, the chemist John Bockris introduced a new term to the world- Hydrogen Economy. He referred to the future in which all vehicles would use Hydrogen as a Fuel.
What are the benefits of Hydrogen Economy?
One of the most important benefits of a hydrogen economy is that fuel cells are nonpolluting. No carbon emissions are produced when electricity is generated in a fuel cell. A hydrogen fuel cell produces two byproducts -- heat and water.
What is Fuel Cell?
Fuel cells have various advantages compared to conventional power sources, such as internal combustion engines or batteries. Although some of the fuel cells' attributes are only valid for some applications, most advantages are more general.
· Fuel cells have a higher efficiency than diesel or gas engines.
· Most fuel cells operate silently, compared to internal combustion engines. They are therefore ideally suited for use within buildings such as hospitals.
· Fuel cells can eliminate pollution caused by burning fossil fuels; for hydrogen fuelled fuel cells, the only by-product at point of use is water.
· If the hydrogen comes from the electrolysis of water driven by renewable energy, then using fuel cells eliminates greenhouse gases over the whole cycle.
· Fuel cells do not need conventional fuels such as oil or gas and can, therefore, reduce economic dependence on oil producing countries, creating greater energy security for the user nation.
· Since hydrogen can be produced anywhere where the water is availabe and a source of power, the generation of fuel can be distributed and does not have to be grid-dependent.
· The use of stationary fuel cells to generate power at the point of use allows for a decentralized power grid that is potentially more stable.
· Low-temperature fuel cells (PEMFC, DMFC) have low heat transmission which makes them ideal for military applications.
· Higher temperature fuel cells produce high-grade process heat along with electricity and are well suited to cogeneration applications (such as combined heat and power for residential use).
· Operating times are much longer than with batteries since doubling the operating time needs only doubling the amount of fuel and not the doubling of the capacity of the unit itself.
·, Unlike batteries, fuel cells, have no "memory effect" when they are getting refueled.
· The maintenance of fuel cells is simple since there are few moving parts in the system.
Can hydrogen vehicles help break our oil addiction? Hydrogen vehicles will help reduce this dependence, but it will probably be decades before enough hydrogen vehicles are in everyday use to make a significant difference in oil imports. In the long run, however, the impact of hydrogen cars could be considerable.
Hydrogen cars aren't just the cars of the future -- several fuel cell vehicles (or FCVs) are on the road right now:
· The Honda FCX Clarity: This is the only fuel cell vehicle that can actually be leased by private individuals, but only in parts of California where hydrogen fueling stations are installed. Honda charges $600 per month for an FCX lease. The first FCX was delivered to a California family on July 25, 2008.
· Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell SUV: Fleets of fuel cell-powered Equinox SUVs have been touring California, New York and Washington, D.C., to demonstrate the technology. This vehicle is not currently available for lease or purchase.
· Volkswagen Tiguan HyMotion: Like Chevrolet, Volkswagen isn't ready to sell or lease this vehicle, but the HyMotion was part of a National Hydrogen Road Tour that ran from Portland, Maine, to Los Angeles, Calif.
· BMW Hydrogen 7: Although not yet available to the general public, BMW has been giving this vehicle to celebrities -- beginning with actor Will Ferrell -- for extended periods of use.
If the hydrogen economy is going to provide the United States with a future free of pollution and dependence on foreign oil, it must be sustainable.
That is, it must be able to keep up with increased population growth, increased use of energy-hungry technology, changes in politics and changes in people's attitudes toward the environment and toward the welfare of future generations.
It has been estimated that worldwide energy needs will double by the year 2050. It's unlikely that the rapidly diminishing supplies of fossil fuels could keep up with this demand, so new energy resources will be crucial.

On Site: Vacation.com's New Agent Portal Plus Retargeting Initiative
by Meagan Drillinger
During a press conference aboard the Oasis of the Seas as part of Vacation.com's 14th International Conference & Tradeshow, Vacation.com executives briefed members of the media on the brand-new programs they were rolling out for their agent members.
Agent Universe
One of the most well-received projects is the launch of a new, exclusive agent web portal. Answering a loud cry from members about the difficulty to navigate AgentNet, Vacation.com has decided to replace the portal with Agent Universe, offering members a more robust website to quickly access exclusive Vacation.com programs and supplier information to maximize their business revenue."
"Agent Universe answers all the questions to, 'I wish AgentNet could do this,'" says Stephen McGillivray, CMO for Travel Leaders Group. "This is a big homerun for the members. It lets us communicate in targeted and timely manners to our members."
As each member's business is different, Agent Universe will enable a customized user experience with many new features, including the ability to choose which links appear on the member's home page upon login.
Members will have access to Vacation.com's calendar of current events and promotions as well. A site search function will allow users to enter key words to quickly locate the relevant information they need immediately to serve a customer in real time.
"We'll use a members-only private Facebook community for Vacation.com to communicate to members, and for members to communicate with each other, as well," says Tiffany Glass, vice president, e-commerce and technology for Vacation.com.
Migration to the new portal will be seamless for members, however members should login to their accounts at AgentNet as soon as possible to update their current information. The new portal is expected to launch this summer.
Retargeting for ROI
Vacation.com has also decided to up the level of service offered from its e-Engagement program by adding a consumer "retargeting feature." This initiative is scheduled to launch this summer with banner ads that will appear on many top websites like Amazon.com, AOL.com, CNN.com, ESPN.com, Google.com, NYTimes.com and Weather.com.
"This new program will provide a view into past purchase behavior," said John Lovell, president of Vacation.com.
Retargeting will allow Vacation.com's suppliers to maximize their exposure to their exclusive travel offers over the duration of campaigns. The consumer will be taken back to their travel agent to make the booking.
"Retargeting with ads is not a new phenomenon," says McGillivray. "What is new is that we are the first agent organization to come out with retargeting and following customers' online behavior after an initial e-mail offer is sent." Vacation.com generates and designs a supplier e-mail, sending it to members' customers in the database. If the consumer clicks on that e-mail, it goes to a personalized landing page of that agent that has more offers and details. "Then it is time for the consumer to act," McGillivray adds.
"Retargeting not only benefits our member agents, but also it provides substantial added value for each of our supplier partners who participate in the program," says Lovell.

A trip to the Saskatoon Farmers' Market on Sunday led to a sudden craving for rhubarb pie and all because of Wally. Those fresh-cut stalks of rhubarb spoke buy me and so I bought.
Rhubarb's a favorite in our family and we often would pick young stalks from the garden and eat them raw. So, I must say, I do like my rhubarb pie tart. My dad is 79 and he makes me a rhubarb pie on each visit to Kelowna BC. Of course, he has a great supplier, our cousin Joanne.
Rhubarb from Wally's Urban Market Garden.
Sift ingredients together and add 1 pound of Crisco shortening. With a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut ingredients into the size of peas.
In a mixing cup add: 1 large egg, 1 tbsp white vinegar, and ice-cold water to fill to 1 cup mark. Blend together. Add slowly to dry mixture and mix (not knead).
Use dough immediately. Pastry is sensitive to temperature so keep in refrigerator between dough rollings.
My filling simply consists of rhubarb cut diagonally into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces. Make sure you have enough to fill the pie plate and some more.
425 degrees for 20 to 25 minute, then turn oven to 325 and bake for another 30 minutes. Enjoy!
My secret ingredient: passion, everyone gets to enjoy!

FIRST AND SECOND SAMUEL
1. AUTHOR. — Not known. The books were compiled from earlier writings, probably from those of Samuel, Nathan, and Gad. (1 Chron. 29:29.) The two books are rightly regarded as the work of one man.
2. DATE. — Uncertain, but probably at the close of the reign of David, or during the reign. of Solomon.
3. HISTORICAL OCCASION. — At the time that the kingdom had been established, and Israel had secured its position of pre-eminence over all the surrounding peoples, when the unity of Israel had been secured, and the glories of David's reign had been witnessed.
4. LEADING TOPIC. — The establishment of the monarchy, including the troublous times at the close of the period of the judges, and the reigns of both Saul and David.
5. CHIEF PURPOSE. — To show the manner in which the Theocracy passed from the chaos of the times of the judges to the order and unity of the monarchy. The book of Judges showed the need of a central authority representing Jehovah, to restrain and direct the religious conduct of Israel; this book shows how they were brought under such divinely appointed authority. But it also was to show that the king was to rule under the authority and for the glory of God only; he was not to rule in the manner of the kings of other nations. The record of Saul's reign, so disappointing, shows that the king was to carry out God's purposes, not his own. The divinely appointed king of Israel was a type of Christ, and the book foreshadows the Messianic kingdom, especially in the supremacy of David and in his devotion to the will of God.
Part I. Career of Samuel before the monarchy, Ch. 1–7.
(a) Birth and early life of Samuel, Ch. 1-3.
(b) Oppression by the Philistines, Ch. 4–7.
Part II. Career of Saul until his rejection, Ch. 8-15.
(a) Choosing of Saul, Ch. 8-10.
(b) War with the Philistines, Ch. 11-14.
(c) Saul rejected as king, Ch. 15.
Part III. David's career until Saul's death, Ch. 16–31.
(a) David at the court of Saul, Ch. 16-20.
(b) David an outlaw in Judah, Ch. 21–26.
(c) David an outlaw in Philistia, Ch. 27–31.
Part IV. David's career as king, 2 Sam. 1-24.
(a) His reign at Hebron, Ch. 1-4.
(b) Established over all Israel, Ch. 5–10.
(c) His sin and its results, Ch. 11–20.
(d) An appendix, Ch. 21-24.
7. POINTS OF ESPECIAL INTEREST. — Capture of the ark; Saul, the people's choice; David, God's choice; Jonathan's friend ship; the ark brought to Jerusalem; David's great sin; Absalom's treason; the nation punished for the king's sin.
8. RELATION TO OTHER O. T. Books. — To Judges, which showed the need of the monarchy; to Kings, which give the down fall of the kingdom; to the prophets, which portray the glory of the Messianic kingdom.
9. MESSIANIC IDEAS. — The kingly idea was typical of the Messiah. The promise made 38 First and Second Samuel. to David that a son should succeed him, to build God's house, and have an eternal throne, was broad enough to include the reign of Christ. (2 Sam. 7:13–16.)
10. TOPICS FOR SPECIAL STUDY. — The form of government intended for Israel; the reason of Saul's rejection; the distinctive characters of David and of Saul; the relation of David's sin to the evils that after ward befell him.

I guess until the Giants season is over, which alas may be sooner than I hoped after last night's disaster, I may have trouble keeping to schedule for Friday Baseball Posts. At any rate...
I didn't have anything to say about the game last night, and I think I'll stick with that for now. Instead, I'll make what I'm afraid may be a trite observation about baseball in the wake of Roy Halliday's no-hitter. To begin with, everyone knows that baseball is far more aware of its history than pretty much every other sport. Indeed, it often gets silly...I mean, practically everything about "postseason records" is pretty foolish, and as far as I can tell it's getting more and more out of control. Did it really add much for me to find out that Matt Cain had the first Giants pitcher postseason RBI since Johnny Antonelli in 1954? Hmmm...well, actually, I always like thinking about Antonelli, but I've got to be in the minority, even for Giants fans.
I'm getting off the point here, which has to do with no-hitters, triple plays, hitting for the cycle, and other such single-game wonders. Even leaving history out of it -- isn't baseball unusual in that? I can't really think of anything like it in basketball, soccer, or football. Can you? A hat trick in hockey is sort of along the same lines, but not quite, I don't think. Golf has one: the hole-in-one. Tennis? I don't think so. And yet baseball seems to have lots of them. I might put three or four HR games on the list. I'd definitely include a straight steal of home, although that wasn't true when they were more common, long ago. It's not a one game thing, but hitting streaks (or for pitchers, scoreless streaks, or no-hit or perfect inning streaks) are at least in the neighborhood. How about switch-hitters homering from both sides in a game? Oh, thought of another one: four strikeouts in an inning.
I'm not sure why baseball seems to generate so many of these while they're rare or non-existent in other sports, but it sure does. Perhaps it's part of baseball's setting within history (as I hinted, these things are more "wow" when they're rare), but I really don't think that's all of it. Am I missing some in other sports?

"There are superb books about golf, very good books about baseball, not many good books about football or soccer, very few good books about basketball and no good books at all about beach balls"
--George Plimpton's "Small Ball Theory" about sports literature quality
massappeal October 9, 2010 at 12:54 PM
Maybe this is a (small) corollary to Plimpton's theory (above), but baseball is a slow game, filled with may discrete actions. The typical double play---one of the most action-filled sequences in a baseball game---has less movement and involves fewer players than the typical basketball fast break.
Slower games allow for more detailed recordkeeping and for more detailed analysis of each discrete action in the game. It's easier to analyze pitch by pitch a key at-bat in Halladay's no-hitter than it is to analyze, say, one of Spain's key possessions in the recent World Cup. Soccer, basketball and hockey are inherently fluid games, with players on each team making dozens, if not hundreds of decisions collectively on a single possession. Baseball, golf, and to a significant degree football, are slow, deliberate games in which it's relatively easy to observe and analyze a decision by an individual player or coach.

During last night's disaster, all I could think was that I have seen this episode too many times before.
Brian D. October 9, 2010 at 2:59 PM
The triple-double in basketball might qualify.
Agree with the fluidity comment, but a few other thoughts:
Aside from golf, the other sports have less solo or one-on-one opportunities. A passing touchdown in football requires a receiver on the other end. Rushing yards or touchdowns still require blockers so a mediocre runner behind a great line can get the same stats as a great runner behind a bad line.
The number of opportunities also vary in other sports. If a running back automatically got 4-6 chances per game from the one yard line, maybe people would remember which ones scored consistently. When you hear someone hit 4 homers in a game, you don't say 'yeah, but how many at bats did he have' because you already know.
Another factor may be the rareness of the event itself or to put it another way, people don't want to count very high. I know that Wilt scored 100 because tht's a nice round number, but even if I know who probably scored in the 70s or 80s, the numbers start to get harder to remember. Saying "man, do you remember that time Kobe scored 80-something?" just doesn't have a good ring to it.
So I guess find another sport where a) the accomplishments are clearly individual; b) the number of chances are the same for every player per game; c) the number of chances are in the single digits; and d) there are multiple types of events to keep track of. I'm drawing a blank.
Side note (as if this isn't long enough already). I think video game developers have tapped into this phenomenon. Modern Warefare 2 has many per-game and multi-game accomplishments that give you points or badges and keep you hooked even when the individual games start to run together. Or so my son tells me, because I'm clearly way too old to spend hours and hours wasting my time on a mindless video game.
Jeremy B. October 9, 2010 at 6:59 PM
Here's a candidate for a singular hockey feat: scoring one of each type of goal in a game (even-strength, power play, shorthanded, penalty shot, and empty net). Accomplished by Mario Lemieux (who also had 3 assists that game) on New Year's Eve 1988.
Jonathan Bernstein October 9, 2010 at 11:23 PM
Yeah, that fits, although I don't know how many hockey fans are aware of it as a thing. Is that the only time it was done?
Meanwhile, more of them from baseball: 2 HRs in an inning (subsets w/a grand slam, and of course the Tatis one of two slams in an inning). Two grand slams in a game.
There is a football one: scoring a TD on both offense and defense. You would think that running, throwing, and catching a TD would be a thing, and it must happen in college at about the right frequency (yes?)...do football fans think of it as a thing? I'm having trouble defining the category here, beyond a know-it-if-you-see-it idea.
I really don't think Brian's suggestion of a triple-double in basketball quite fits. I'm not sure why...it feels sort of artificial to me, while the others here don't depend, or depend less, on arbitrary statistical norms. At least, that's what it feels like to me, but I could be wrong.
Brodie October 10, 2010 at 9:47 AM
Good discussion and comments, espec from Plimpton and massapp. Being the oldest of the 3 major sports, baseball has had a longer period in which to chisel in granite the heroic feats of its many stars over the years, and given the leisurely pace and inordinate length of the typical game, much time to reflect and comment upon individual performance by writers and golden-throated broadcasters.
It's the oldest of our sports and the most individual-oriented of our team sports. One guy at bat and, unless there are baserunners, all his teammates sit and watch. It's a mano-a-mano sport largely, within an overall team framework.
Of the 3 sports, it's also the one where fans don't divide their attention between college and pros. Many might watch MLB (though it's no longer The National Pastime), but only a few bother to follow college baseball or the minor leagues. Not many fans care about what happens with individual players or teams at the levels below MLB. Not true of basketball and football of course. With all the undivided attention on the Big Show, all the more reason its players will find their achievements highlighted and chronicled for the ages.
Finally, it's my view that the famous stats and heroics of MLB -- with many of the longtime records now broken or shattered -- no longer hold such a considerable place in the minds of fans. Growing up, kids would know exactly the HR record #s (Ruth, Maris, then Aaron), and the magic #s for DiMaggio and Gehrig for their feats, maybe a few other golden numbers. Today, after 15 yrs or so of the Steroid Era, and other hallowed records now gone by the boards, my sense is that not many fans could tell you the current records, precisely as we used to be able to recite. The statisticians (increasingly microanalyzing the game with their innumberable categories) and hardcore close-watchers of the game now are the ones who keep the history, far more than the average fan.
Colby October 10, 2010 at 10:34 AM
Man, I don't know about that. Anecdotal evidence, of course, but every baseball fan I know can still recite 60, 61, 70, and 73. They still know about 56. A lot of them even know 45 (but then, I'm in Chicago). And if they don't know how many hits Pete Rose had or how many bases Ricky stole, they at least know the "plateau" numbers, 2,000, 3,000, 500, 600, etc.
I'd also say that the division between "Fans" and "statisticians" is a bit false; crunching the numbers is becoming more and more a part of watching and enjoying the game. It's no accident that fantasy baseball has exploded, or that almost everyone can tell you about OBS, SLUG, and OPS. Hell, for that matter, my father was tallying RBIs and hits even when he was a kid; it's always been part of the game.
Anyway, my belief is that baseball just takes care of it's history more. It helps that it has such a long history, and that that history really IS entwined with broader social movements, but make no mistake, MLB has made a concerted effort to present a sweeping narrative of itself. I also think the rarity element is a big factor (if you fail 60% of the time, you're amazing). Basketball certainly doesn't have that, and even football seems to have progress at least half the time.
Jonathan Bernstein October 10, 2010 at 11:28 AM
Fully agree with Colby here. If the Bonds HR records hold for a generation, and are challenged and survive, they'll be more or less as well known as the records set by Ruth, Maris, and Aaron.
Brodie October 10, 2010 at 11:37 AM
For sure I'm only giving my sense of the game sitting on the sidelines as only (at best) an occasional observer (WS time only), no longer a kid, no longer with kids at home to check this out, with very little knowledge of things like fantasy baseball and the numbers of people actually involved in that.
My guess is that with all the controversies surrounding the breaking of the HR records (by two players), which are the most important #s in the game still, there is less of a tendency to chisel those new #s indelibly in the mind with the average bb fan, but instead more to recall the players involved and how they tarnished once-pure and magical records. As a result, the fan is left with some confusion as their ranks are divided between those traditionalists who keep the Aaron and Ruth/Maris records sacred and refuse to acknowledge the new ones, and those who've accepted the Bonds/McGwire numbers and the rest of the bloated recent hitting achievements.
As for the statisticians, definitely the solid bb fan of yesteryear kept the HR, BA and RBI stats in mind (along with wins and maybe some ERA) -- a fairly short list to remember. But after that, I'd guess, today there's a considerable drop-off in those who easily have also the OBS, SLUG and OPS #s at hand. Hypercategorization of the game by the experts, as I say, to go with the hyperspecialization of the game on the field (DH, additional specialist relief pitchers primarily). It all makes for a rather dizzying array of things to keep in mind for the average fan, though for the truly hardcore fan, far fewer in number it seems to me, it makes for more fun and basis for further argument.
Back when, things were simpler, games were shorter, and they played the WS easily in early-to-mid October, and during the day, when kids were still awake. We were usually in school, but managed to smuggle in a transistor radio to monitor the situation. There was a buzz around our grade school as to the progress of the game -- and we weren't in one of the big major league cities of the east. The teachers might even comment and give an occasional update. I'm not sure kids today are quite as emotionally invested in the game as we were back in the 60s. I rather doubt it in fact.
Brodie October 10, 2010 at 12:33 PM
If the Bonds HR records hold for a generation, and are challenged and survive, they'll be more or less as well known as the records set by Ruth, Maris, and Aaron.
Mebbe. But what happens if in that time period no player even comes close to challenging them, not even threatening the Ruth/Maris single-season marks? Wouldn't that make Bonds' (and McGwire's and Sosa's) numbers even more suspicious and thus less likely to be remembered?
Probably what happens with the BB HoF w/r/t Bonds et al will be a major factor in re whether those new numbers get chiseled in stone in fans' minds. But, last I checked, there was still considerable controversy among the baseball punditariat, not to mention among most fans, about whether some of the PED Era players deserve a place in the Hall. Thus my contention that their gaudy batting achievements are not quite fully settled and assimilated into the everyday easy rattling off of records the average baseball fan traditionally has at his fingertips.
Jonathan Bernstein October 10, 2010 at 1:01 PM
Brodie,
First of all...they're all going into the Hall. Maybe not immediately, but eventually.
Second, it's very likely that over time Bonds will be more, not less, popular. I suppose if he really does get convicted (which I think is unlikely) it'll hurt, but the nature of these things, as Bill James said, is that over time the numbers, and not the personality, are what matters.
Very, very few fans today hold drugs against Raines, Molitor, Keith Hernandez, and the rest of that group. It's highly unlikely that they're going to care about the trivia of baseball writers obsessions twenty or thirty years from now.
Don Coffin October 10, 2010 at 8:43 PM
I think part of it is that, in other team sports, the team can more-or-less control who gets ofpportunities to do things. Not absolutely, of course, but in basketball (for instance) Wilt could score 100 points in a game because the team decided that he was the designated scorer (63/115 FG attempts). In football, the single game rushing record (Adrian Peterson's 296) occurred in a game in which he got 30/43 of Minnesota's rushing attempt.
In baseball, nothing like that can happen.
Colby October 10, 2010 at 8:58 PM
"but instead more to recall the players involved and how they tarnished once-pure and magical records."
I doubt it. It's not like anyone had trouble remembering that Pete Rose had the most hits even when his "sins" were fresh in everyone's mind. It's not that anyone's ignoring those sins, but they can recognize what the number is. Again, anecdotal evidence, but everyone I talk to gets it.
"As a result, the fan is left with some confusion as their ranks"
I don't see any confusion. MLB has bent over backwards to say the records stand no matter what, and it's not that hard to grasp that even if I don't like how a guy did something, his numbers stand.
"But after that, I'd guess, today there's a considerable drop-off in those who easily have also the OBS, SLUG and OPS #s at hand."
Maybe, but the records we're talking about have nothing to do with the more advanced numbers. My point is that the numbers have always been part of the game, even for casual fans. And in recent years, with the rise of fantasy baseball and the more advanced stats, following the numbers has only become more widespread.
"Wouldn't that make Bonds' (and McGwire's and Sosa's) numbers even more suspicious and thus less likely to be remembered?"
No. First of all, Maris' number wasn't really challenged for a generation, and that didn't endanger it. Second, just because the number is suspicious doesn't mean it's less likely to be remembered. It's probably MORE likely, honestly. Again, look at Pete Rose- every time a new element of his controversy flares up (like when he "apologized" a couple years ago), sports media reminds everyone that he holds the all-time hits record. Or how about Dock Ellis? Admitting he threw his no-hitter on LSD has only made the event more memorable. I don't think controversy leads people to forget as much as you say.
I mean, I guess I'd want to see evidence that these things are actually being treated as less of a big deal. Clearly no-hitters and perfect games are still huge deals (my best friend doesn't even like baseball, and he called me about Halladay). Every time a player gets more than 30 games in a row with a hit, we start talking about DiMaggio. And Bonds' records were still big deals. They'd be much bigger if he was even just a little more likeable (witness A-Rod getting to 600- and he's admitted to juice, too).
What's more likely is, any time someone gets close to these records (and it really only seems to be two tarnished by steroids), we're gonna go NUTS about them- because there will be all that bullshit about "redeeming" the record from the scourge of Barry Bonds. So even if people try to ignore Bonds' numbers- and it doesn't seem like they are- it'll only be a temporary thing until someone else holds the record.
A little late to this game, but baseball is distinctive in that, at the beginning of each play (pitch), each player starts in a 'position,' including the hitter, but there is no way to know, prior to the play, what will happen. Also, baseball inverts offense-defense; what is interesting in baseball is what the DEFENSE does with the ball. Any player, or players in combination, on defense may field the ball in play; no player on defense may field the ball (not counting the catcher on a strike/tipped ball).
Although scoring runs/making outs is a goal that is formally similar to goals in other sports, the combinations are substantively much more complex in baseball. Basketball offenses are fairly routine--a player will in-bounds to the point guard, who will advance the ball past midcourt, and then (usually) make a pass. Football--the center will hike the ball to the quarterback, who will either drop back to pass or hand the ball off (or run).
Once the ball leaves the pitcher's hand, it's wide open in baseball. Every player on the field matters in a way that, say, RT really doesn't in football--and I know, blocking, yadda yadda. I'm not a sports essentialist or anything--I don't think baseball is 'better' than other games, whatever that would mean--but it does differ from the other high-profile team sports.

Recent photographic work decontextualizes and abstracts cast-off or every day materials from my domestic space. Rosalie Rosenthal is interested in the way the resulting images may be understood as portrait, still life, and even landscape, thereby blurring conventional categorization. Her interest in the discarded has carried over to installation. Using large scale, and an overwhelming presence of multiples, she currently explores desire and excess in consumer culture. Her most recent bodies of work, Dust Pan Inventory http://www.rosalierosenthal.com/dust-pan-inventory/ and Hair's Breadth http://www.rosalierosenthal.com/new-galleryhairs-breadth/ , focus on a year long investigation of Rosenthal's domestic space.
