Like for example, obviously I’m a sports fan, but through all of sports the one thing I love watching more than anything is great baseball pitchers. Watching how much movement they can put on a ball is just fun to watch.

Sports are kind of interesting playgrounds for statistics. I respect that about them. Moneyball is a movie about how an economist used statistics to change the way baseball teams recruit players. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did.
Sports analytics have changed every sport. I distinctly remember that season, the average sports fan didn’t know back then what was going on behind the scenes but that streak was fun as hell to watch even if you weren’t and A’s fan.
I loved baseball as a kid, I wasn’t good, but I loved playing and I loved watching. when I hit my late teens is when I finally found my strength in hitting. But I stopped watching when the strikes in the 90s happened and I didn’t follow again for 20 years.
Dont let others ruin something you love. that’s a hardlife lesson, because I’ve gotten back into it and realized how much I truly did love the game itself and hate that I didn’t keep watching or trying at it. Just the feel of the glove, the grass, the smell of the dirt.
And what’s truly great about baseball even though it’s been played since the late 1800’s by hundreds of thousands of people over 100 games per team a year. It seems like every year there is still something that’s never been done before in its history.
