Big leagues
anticipate
millionth run
NEW YORK (AP) — On Marl
Sackler s 23rd birthday, one oftiis
presents was a calculator.
It seemed harmless enough at the
time, hut that simple gift has since
ballooned into a giant-sized baseball
promotion. It is expected to culmi
nate this weekend when the one
millionth run in the game’s history
will he scored.
“I was just looking for something
to test it out on, said Sackler. Ihai
a baseball encyclopedia and 1
thought the number of runs scored
would be a good category.”
So Sackler, a sportscaster trom
Westport, Conn., began punching
the totals from each year in both
leagues into his calculator. It only
took eight minutes to get the initial
estimate,” he said.
That estimate showed that
through the end of the 1973 baseball
season, 981,823 runs had been
scored in the major leagues. It also
showed that baseball was closing in
on an important plateau — its one
millionth run.
That was a statistic that somehow
lhad been overlooked by whal
•Commissioner Bowie Kuhn calls
"the most statisticized business I
know.”
"Based on previous years, I esti
mated that between 16,000 and
16,100 runs would be scored in
1974, ” said Sackler. The actual fig
ure was 16,046, pushing the total to
997,869, and leaving baseball 2,131
shy of the magic million as the 1975
season began.
All hut 444 of the last runs re
quired had been scored by Tuesday
when a computer-type center
opened in mid-Manhattan, de
signed to pinpoint the moment No.
1,000,000 crosses the plate. Equip
ped with electronic clocks and digi
tal timers described as accurate
down to 1-1,000th of a second, tele
phone lines to 14 major league
stadiums and recording equipment,
the center will he anchored by vete
ran baseball broadcaster Mel Allen.
Each time a run scores, the in
formation will he relayed instantly
to the control center and the count
down clock will drop another digit
on the road to the millionth run.
Sackler and the calculators say tbe
magic moment will occur this
weekend, probably on Sunday.
When it happens, the player wbo
scores No. 1,000,000 will set offa
string of awards to commemorate
the moment.
The Tootsie Roll candy company,
sponsor of the promotion, will pres
ent a $10,000 check in behalf of the
player to the Professional Ball
Players Association of America, an
organization of baseball oldtimers.
A national contest for fans carries
with it first prize of one million pen
nies — another $100.
The player scoring run No.
1,000,000 will have his shoes sentto
the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown,
N.Y., and will receive a $1,000
watch to commemorate bis
achievement. Watches also will be
presented to his teammates,
coaches, manager and even the um
pires on duty in the game in which
the run is scored.
