Not so fast there, pardner...
I have a better model, one that goes back 40 years, though it has nothing to do with baseball...but basketball...specifically, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Counting 1968, and going up to 2004, in presidential election years, when the Lakers at worst made it to the Finals, the Republican presidential candidate won every time. When the Lakers at best failed to get out of the first round, the Democrat candidate won every time.
Witness:
1968...Lakers lose in Finals to Boston...Nixon wins.
1972...Lakers win in Finals over New York...Nixon wins.
1976...Lakers miss playoffs...Carter wins.
1980...Lakers win in Finals against Philly...Reagan wins.
1984...Lakers lose in Finals to Boston...Reagan wins.
1988...Lakers win in Finals against Detroit...Bush 41 wins.
1992...Lakers lose in first round to Portland...Clinton wins.
1996...Lakers lose in first round to Houston...Clinton wins.
2000...Lakers win in Finals against Indiana...Bush 43 wins.
2004...Lakers lose in Finals to Detroit...Bush 43 wins.
2008...Lakers lose in Finals to Boston...???
BTW, I called this in months ago to a liberal local sports show...they were impressed by the stats, and thought “that would suck” at the same time!
So we’ll see what happens...the Lakers of the last 40 years may save us all!
