Mathematics is not a friend of baseball | Dallas-Fort Worth Sports News - Sports News on the ...: "The counting craze that once was cute and chic is now all but ruining America’s second favorite pastime.
Scores of math whizzes, nerds and live-in-their-parents’-basement geeks are threatening to turn Royals at Rangers into a Bobby Fischer vs. Boris Spassky chess match, minus the intellect.
This absurd baseball math obsession is now spilling over into basketball, hockey and football; in a few months, this trend will turn your child’s dodgeball game into a series of where is the best place to put little Jimmy so as to ensure his greatest chances of being able to dip, dive, duck and dodge.
Baseball was never intended to be math homework, but now baseball fans are watching pitch counts more closely than we do wins/losses, strikeouts or ERAs.
Kids, don’t listen to your parents or teachers. In this case, math is not your friend."
