The Probability of 56

2008, letter Illustration  
Client: New York Times

To the Editor:
Samual Arbesman and Steven Strogatz think of baseball players’ performance at bat as being like coin tosses.
They suggest that replaying history with baseball statistics and a computer that uses a random number generator
to determine hits or outs gives a fair approximation of the probability of Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak.
And they conclude that “streaks of 56 games or longer are not at all an unusual occurrence.”

Asterisk

2007, letters Illustration  
Client: The New York Times

Barry Bonds hits career home run #756 to become the all-time home run king.   

In colloquial usage, an asterisk is used to indicate that a record is somehow tainted by circumstances, which are putatively explained in a footnote supposedly referenced by the asterisk. This usage arose after the 1961 baseball season in which Roger Maris of the New York Yankees broke Babe Ruth’s 34-year-old single-season home run record. Because Ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, compared to Maris’s 61 over 162 games, baseball commissioner Ford Frick announced that Maris’ accomplishment would be recorded in the record books with an explanation (often referred to as “an asterisk” in the retelling). In fact, Major League Baseball has no official record book, but the stigma remained with Maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-official records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors. A 2001 TV movie about Maris’s record-breaking season was called 61* (pronounced sixty-one asterisk) in reference to the controversy. Fans critical of Barry Bonds also taunted him with asterisks as he approached Hank Aaron’s career home run record.-from Wikipedia

NASA lost a $125 million Mars orbiter because one engineering team used metric units while another used English units for a key spacecraft operation, according to a review finding released Thursday.

For that reason, information failed to transfer between the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft team at Lockheed Martin in Colorado and the mission navigation team in California. Lockheed Martin built the spacecraft.

“People sometimes make errors,” said Edward Weiler, NASA’s Associate Administrator for Space Science in a written statement.-CNN
