Specialty Definition: Earned run average

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In baseball statistics, the earned run average (denoted by ERA) is the mean of earned runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings pitched. It is determined by multiplying the number of earned runs allowed by nine, and dividing by the number of innings pitched.

Henry Chadwick is credited with first devising the statistic. It caught on as a measure of pitching effectiveness after relief pitching came into vogue in the 1900s. Prior to the 1900s, every pitcher was expected to pitch a complete game (and, in fact, for many years afterward). After pitchers like Otis Crandall and Charlie Hall made names for themselves as relief specialists, gauging a pitcher's effectiveness became more difficult using the traditional method of tabulating wins and losses. The National League first kept official earned run average statistics in 1912 (the statistic was called "Heydler's Statistic" for a while, after then-NL secretary John Heydler), with the American League following suit afterward.

Modern-day baseball encyclopedias give ERAs for earlier years, of course, but these were computed after the fact. Negro League pitchers are often rated by "RA", or total runs allowed, since the statistics available for Negro League games did not always distinguish between earned and unearned runs.

As with batting average, the value of a good ERA varies from year to year. In the 1910s, a good ERA was below 2.00 (two earned runs allowed per nine innings). In the late 1920s and 1930s, as might be expected, a good ERA was below 4.00; only a pitcher of the caliber of Dazzy Vance or Lefty Grove would post an ERA under 3.00 consistently during those years. In the 1960s, sub-2.00 ERAs returned. Today, an ERA under 4.00 is again considered exceptional, although pitchers like Pedro Martinez and Greg Maddux stand out today as Grove and Vance did in their day.

The all-time single-season record for lowest ERA in a season is 0.86, set by Tim Keefe in 1880. The modern record is 1.12, set by Bob Gibson in 1968. The lowest single-season ERA of an active pitcher is 1.56, achieved by Greg Maddux in 1994. The career record is 1.82, held by Ed Walsh, and the active player with the lowest career ERA is Pedro Martinez with an ERA of 2.62 through the 2002 season.

In modern baseball, an ERA under 2.00 is considered exceptional and is rare. An ERA between 2.00 and 3.00 is also considered great and is only achieved by the best pitchers in the league. ERA between 3.00 and 4.00 is above-average. An ERA between 4.00 and 5.00 is average; the majority of pitchers have an ERA in this range. An ERA above 5.00 is generally considered below-average, and a pitcher with an ERA above 6.00 for a prolonged period of time is usually in danger of losing his job.

It can be misleading to judge relief pitchers solely on their ERA, since a pitcher is responsible only for the runs scored by batters who reach base off them. If a relief pitcher enters the game, with his team leading by one run and with 2 outs in the inning, with the bases loaded, and gives up a single which scores two runs, he is not charged with those runs. If he retires the next batter, his ERA for that game would be 0.00, despite having surrendered the lead.

Era

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

See also: ERA (disambiguation page).

An era is a (usually lengthy) period of time with common characteristics. For example: -- the Biblical era, the Roman era, the Elizabethan era, the Victorian era . Era is also popularly used to denote the passing of shorter periods, such as the Big Band era, Disco era. Something like the death of Frank Sinatra is called the end of an era. (see also: period)

In Geology, era refers to four well defined time spans covering the history of the Earth. From oldest to youngest, these are the Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.

Calendar era

In a calendar, the era is the date from which years in the calendar are counted. For example, in the Gregorian and Julian calendars, dates are measured from the beginning of the Christian era. There are many different calendar era systems. Some are listed below along with the abbreviations. (see also: History of Dating in the Christian World)

Era name

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Era name was an East Asian imperial practice of numbering years in an emperor's reign. It originated as a motto or slogan chosen by a the emperor. Different East Asian countries utilized slightly different systems:

Japanese era name

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) is a common calendar scheme used in Japan to count years. For example, 2003 is Heisei 15 years.

Like similar systems in East Asia, the era name system was originally derived from Chinese Imperial practice, although the Japanese system is independent from the Chinese or Korean calendar systems. Unlike other similar systems, the Japanese era name is still in use. Government offices usually require era names and years for official papers.

Sometimes an era name is expressed with the first letter of romanized name. For example, S55 means Showa 55 years. With 64 years, Showa is the longest era as of 2003.

Modern Era Names

With the modernization of Japan after the ascension of the Meiji Emperor and now under current Japanese law since 1979, it has become practice to change era names only upon occasion of imperial succession. Also, the deceased emperor will thereafter be referred to as his corresponding era name posthumously. Under current law, only males can assume the throne.

In the Japanese language, the current emperor on the throne is almost always referred to as Tennō Heika (天皇陛下, His Majesty the Emperor) or rarely and less formally as Kinjō Tennō (今上天皇, current emperor) and even more rarely, if ever by his name Akihito. To call the current emperor by the current era name Heisei even in English would be a faux pas as it is will be his posthumous name. This causes great confusion not only in other languages, but also for Japanese as he is known throughout the world only as Akihito. Also, his father the 124th emperor is called Hirohito throughout the world, but is always called the Showa Emperor in Japan.

In modern practice, the first year of a reign (元年 gannen) starts immediately upon the emperor's ascension to the throne, but always ends on December 31st. Subsequent years follow the Western calendar. Consequently, 1989 is known as both "Showa 64" and "Heisei 1", although technically Showa 64 ended on January 7th with Hirohito's death.

Historic Era Names

Historically however, prior to the Meiji Restoration, era names were changed on many different occasions such as celebration, major political incidents, natural disasters, and so on, but the emperors posthumous name never took the name of an era. Incidently, on modern official papers, those who were born prior to the Meiji era did not write the era name in which they born, but wrote Edo period (though now no one born over 130 years ago in that time period is still alive now).
