You know, you bring up a good point. I can't think of any other sport that is as much into stats as baseball is. Stats mean everything in this game. You have a BA of less then .250 you're gone, you have 50 HR's you are a good hitter, you pitche over 5.00 ERA you're gone, and so on and so on. That is my draw to the game. The numbers.
