February 20, 1951 (or July 1951). Emmett Ashford is waiting inside the ballpark of the Mexicali Eagles. At 36 years old, he's toiled around the United States, working toward his goal of becoming a professional umpire. Finally, he lands a tryout just south of the border to make it happen. But there's a problem: the other umpires needed to play the game are white— they won't take the field with a Black man.Today, Emmett Ashford attempts to become the first Black umpire in organized baseball. Can he make it happen? And if so, can he overcome barriers to make it all the way to the majors?Special thanks to our guests: Raymond Bell, the executive producer of “Called Up: The Emmett Ashford Story” and Doug Harris, the producer, director and editor of the same film; Adrienne Bratton, the daughter of Emmett Ashford; and Mark Armour, a baseball historian.

Every sport has its cheating scandals, but it seems to be a regular thing in baseball. The rules keep evolving to prevent cheating - but that begs the question, is it really cheating if there wasn't a written rule against it when it happened? Some types of cheating can ruin a baseball career, but others are overlooked or even glorified. Dan Levitt is the co-author, along with Mark Armour, of a new book about the history of cheating in baseball called “Intentional Balk”. Dan talks with us about how cheating has changed over the years, how baseball fans view different types of cheating, and what cheating could look like in the future with developing technology.

Let's go back to 1975 and remember The Great Eight from the Big Red Machine as Ed Kasputis interviews baseball researcher and editor, Mark Armour.

Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics that might not seem directly related to compliance but influence our profession. In this episode, I visit Dan Levitt, co-author (with Mark Armour) of the book Intentional Balk: Baseball's Thin Line Between Innovation and Cheating. Highlights include: Competitive people will always seek an advantage. Legal or occasional otherwise. Many at the forefront of innovation are also those who break the rules. Baseball and cheating have a long history together. Innovations from outside baseball can also present a temptation to cheat. The reaction to cheating: change over time? Why different over different infractions? Implicit cost-benefit analysis to cheating. Why and when does cheating lead to chaos and controversy Resources Intentional Balk

If you ain't cheating, then you ain't tryin', as they say. Or at least that's what special guests Mark Armour (@MarkArmour04) and Dan Levitt (@dlevs1) say that they say in their new comprehensive book of extra-legal baseball behavior, Intentional Balk. It's a great conversation about what constitutes cheating, how far teams and players will go to get an edge, and how often they get away with it. Plus, happy birthday to Ken Harrelson and Al Orth!

Mark Armour returns for a chat that focuses on the Golden Days Era—specifically the 1955–1970 National League, which Mark calls “the best league ever.” Stars of the Negro Leagues were integrating the majors, but it was the National League that led the way. This leads to a pretty large disparity of talent between the NL and AL during the first two decades of integration. We look at some players from this era who deserve a longer look because of this. Mark is the President of SABR's Board of Directors, a Bob Davids Award and Henry Chadwick Award winner, the founder and longtime director of the SABR Bio Project, and an author.

Jimmy Wynn was one of baseball’s most feared sluggers of the 1960s and early 1970s. Playing for the Houston Astros, however, muzzled just how powerful a hitter he was. Wynn and the Astros called the Houston Astrodome home, and it was by far one of the most difficult stadiums in baseball history to launch home runs in. Yet, Wynn, still put up remarkable numbers. In fact, Wynn produced nearly all of the power the Astros possessed. In 1967 he walloped 37 homeruns, while the rest of the Astros managed to hit just 56. In 1968 he hit 26 homeruns, while the rest of the team hit just 40; and in 1969, Wynn hit another 33 homeruns while the rest of his teammates hit 71. Wynn’s relationship with the team and manager Harry Walker was not exactly great. In fact, despite Wynn’s power, Walker tried to change Wynn’s approach at the plate which would have reduced his power and made him into more of a line drive and opposite field hitter. Wynn fought back and never acquiesced. Of course, this put a strain on the whole team and ultimately, the Astros fired Walker and eventually traded Wynn to the Los Angeles Dodgers … and it was with the Dodger where Jimmy Wynn enjoyed his happiest and best season. In 1974, Wynn hot a Los Angeles record 32 homeruns, a career-high 108 RBI and batted .271 to help lead L.A. into the World Series against the Oakland A’s. Wynn, by the way, also started the All Star game in 1974. Known as the “Toy Cannon” a nickname he did not appreciate at first, Wynn was small in stature (just 5-feet-9) but loomed large at the plate. For his career he slugged 291 homeruns, knocked in 964 and hit .250. By today’s standards, not overwhelming. But if you consider the fact that Jimmy Wynn played most of his games in the Houston Astrodome, the site where fly balls went to die, and the fact that he out homered his team at home on a routine basis, then you would understand just how dangerous a hitter the “Toy Cannon” was. Mark Armour, one of the founders of the baseball biography project for SABR, joins the podcast to talk about the great Jimmy Wynn.

Business Continuity Management (BCM) is always trying to progress itself - sometimes successfully and sometime with not so much. For BCM and Disaster Recovery (DR) to stay relevant with other industries such as Privacy, Security, Information Security et al, it needs to think differently. We'll be joined by BCM thought leaders and authors David Lindstedt Ph.D. and Mark Armour who together, wrote the book 'Adaptive Business Continuity; A New Approach'. David and Mark will offer some new ways of thinking about BCM and provide some insight in to what works in today's industry and what isn't working - and needs to change. It's sure to be an eye-opening show.

Welcome back to Beyond the Black Stump, the Podcast for the risk, resilience and BC community. G'day, this is Ken Simpson and thanks for tuning in to Episode 11 of the show. This week's show is the second part of my chat with David Lindstedt and Mark Armour about their Continuity 2.0 manifesto. If you have not listened to last weeks episode, just pause this one and go listen - it will make more sense that way. Go ahead, I will be here when you come back.

There you have it, two guys view of the future of Business Continuity. If you haven't actually read the manifesto, please go take a look before making up your mind. It doesn't matter if you agree with David and Mark, or if you vehemently disagree. Either way join the discussion. We are only going to grow towards the ideas we discuss and debate. I am facilitating  a full day session on the Future of our Practices at BCI World 2015 in London in a couple of weeks. I would welcome your view of the future - please take a few minutes to complete my survey. Contributions from BC practitioners and non-practitioners are welcome.

G’day, this is Ken Simpson and welcome back to Beyond the Black Stump the podcast that aims to help you identify and eliminate the limitations we place on ourselves and our thinking. Where each week you have an opportunity to learn from everyday thought leaders - practitioners just like you.   This is a milestone for the show - Episode 10. This is also the show where I get to practice what I preach and move myself out of my comfort zone. For the first time I have two guests on the show - and that was a bit uncomfortable with both the technology and managing the three-way conversation.  Also it is the first time I went into a interview knowing it was going to be split into two episodes of the show.    You see, we don’t script these interviews. The guests get some generic questions that I might ask in their invitation - but other than that they do not know what I am actually going to ask. That gets doubly uncomfortable with two guests!   This week we are also talking about uncomfortable ideas - soft skills, thinking and intellectual critique. But overall it was a fun conversation, I hope you enjoy it too.   My guests are either a couple of revolutionaries, or perhaps simply mis-understood followers of Charles Darwin. In recent weeks they have launched something called the Continuity 2.0 Manifesto. If you haven’t read it, then you should.   Next week we will delve into the detail of their manifesto, but first lets try to understand what these guys are thinking and why. Come with me as we explore their journey to date, and the influences and ideas that have shaped the thinking of David Lindstedt and Mark Armour.   Hopefully it gives you a flavour of where David and Mark are coming from. This is not something they just dreamed up, it is derived from their hands-on experience doing this work - and reading and debating ideas.   Join me next week when we dive into the detail of their Continuity 2.0 Manifesto.   As always if you enjoy the show I would really appreciate it if you took the time to leave a rating and review on iTunes. This week the show is rated #72 in "New and Noteworthy”  in the Management and Marketing sub-category on iTunes. A review in iTunes and sharing the subscription details with your colleagues, even downloading the episodes you have not listened to yet, would go a long way to boosting the show up the charts.   Links referenced in this Episode Continuity 2.0 Web Site Continuity 2.0 LinkedIN Group BCP is broken article Rebuttal article on Continuity Central

Ben and Sam talk to Mark Armour and Dan Levitt, the authors of In Pursuit of Pennants, about whether good GMs have to break rules, how long competitive advantages last, and how good teams go bad.

Fewer African-Americans are playing in Major League Baseball today than two decades ago. The percentage was 8.5 percent on this season's Opening Day rosters. Commissioner Bud Selig announced on Wednesday the formation of a task force to tackle the issue of on-field diversity. New data, though, demonstrates that the decline in African-America players, while steep, isn't as precipitous as widely believed. The accepted wisdom is that the high-water mark was reached in 1975, when it was reported that 27 percent of big leaguers were African-Americans. But exhaustive research by Mark Armour, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research, shows that the actual number never exceeded 19 percent. "To be fair, the numbers have dropped,'' said Armour. "I believe the numbers have dropped from 18-19 percent, which is what they were for about two decades. "From the 1970s through the '90s, the numbers were in the high teens. Now they're half that," said Armour, who writes software for the Environmental Protection Agency. "What I determined, and I [analyzed data from 1947, when Jackie Robinson made his debut] up to 1986 ... is that the number never got to 20 percent. The black-player number, counting all dark-skinned players, was in the high 20s for a period. But not the African-American number. All the press stuff that comes out every April compares the African-American numbers from today with the all-black-players number from the '70s. And that's where they make their mistake." http://m.mlb.com/news/article/44425610/study-decline-in-number-of-african-american-players-in-mlb-overstated
