Not to mention the Skanks in the 1960 WS. They outscored the Pirates something like 55-27, 10 home runs to four, batting was like 0.366 to something around 0.250. Still lost the Series. Games count, not total runs. You have to win states, not necessarily total PV. Scoring runs certainly helps win the games, but better to portion them and win a lot of close games versus winning a few blowouts. The Founders understand the value of that for political cohesion of a diverse and geographically dispersed federal Republic.

The Yanks continue to impress their fans...not...in their
new stadium. Today they gave up only 14 runs vs. last place
Cle. in the second inning. Now it’s 20-2 Indians in the 6th...
Teixera hit a 2 run homer in bottom first and that’s been it so far
