little_league — Little League baseball teams (1987)
- Description
Friendship nominations among the players of two very successful Little League baseball teams of the same local league in the USA, from G. A. Fine's ethnographic study of preadolescent culture, With the Boys. Fine asked the boys to name their three best friends on the team. Fine described the Transatlantic Industries team as decentralized, and the Sharpstone Auto team, whose data were collected at the end of the season, as highly centralized around three players (Justin, Harry and Whit). A directed edge points from the boy making the nomination to the nominated friend. The data were distributed on the Pajek datasets page of the book Generalized Blockmodeling (Doreian, Batagelj and Ferligoj), from which this version was obtained.
transatlantic: the 13 players of the Transatlantic Industries team.sharpstone: the 13 players of the Sharpstone Auto team.
The networks have the following properties:
