OK, I’m going to pull a quote out of a book here, and I want you to guess who wrote this. I did this once, but it was more more than a year ago … and anyway, this always gets me. These words were written in 1993 … so 15 years ago. Are you ready? Here we go:

"The two most overrated stats in all of baseball are batting average and earned run average. I measure a player by his run production: Slugging percentage and on-base percentage actually tell you more about run production than batting average."

Just going to say

that that quote (or, rather, who it’s from) absolutely blew me away. Maybe FJM had him all wrong…

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
