Problem with baseball is the season’s so long and results are so randomized who really knows how good a team is, it’s all about streaks. Prior to their 24-1 run they were 69-56, not very far above 500. So which team are they? Both, neither, who knows.

I know what you mean. There are 162 games in a baseball season. Probably too many games! With football, you had 14, recently 16 games a season. Every game was meaningful and you had a whole week to prepare for it.

I grew up in Boston so when I was a kid, I used to take the Green Line over to Fenway and watch games for $1.25. That's all it used to cost for a bleacher seat, well into the 1970s. My newspaper route money would cover that easy. Hot dogs were 35 cents and if I ordered a beer, they did not give me too hard a time, even though I was maybe 13 or 14.

That is a pretty decent winning percentage. .552 is a good season winning percentage. The Cubs are leading their division with a .557 winning percentage and the Yankees are the first Wild Card Seed with a .550 winning percentage. The second AL seed has a .520.
