I’m a HUGE baseball fan. I love watching the little kids at T-Ball. I enjoy watching a pick-up game. I’ve dropped by Triple-A games where I didn’t even know any of the players, and let’s not even mention Major League baseball.
I cannot count how many times I’ve watched Major League I and II. They are fun movies, even if they didn’t have my favs, The Cleveland Indians/Guardians as the underdog heroes.
When Moneyball came out, I naturally wanted to watch it. It was a delightful movie, based on the real story of the Oakland A’s, and how they turned a perpetual last-place team into a winner, using statistics. There’s an explanation in this article, along with the details of how the Republicans are applying the same principles to politics.
Go read it, and be heartened at the way math is being used in the election game this year.
