Thought this was really interesting: "Tobias J. Moskowitz and L. Jon Wertheim, authors of the Freakonomically inclined Scorecasting, explore the peculiar power of round-number milestones and how they affect a ballplayer at the plate." Loved this: "In the last quarter century, no player hitting .299 has ever drawn a base on balls in his final plate appearance of the season." Ok, nerd fury ends now.
