Under the Code

Ok, why do sports keep track and talk about the most random obscure stats.  I was watching ESPN and they were talking about a baseball game that happened the other day.  Then after they reviewed that game they said this was the first time between these two teams where the game was tied up by a home run in 9th inning and then won by a walk off home run (if that is the correct term for the first batter in the inning to home run) in the 11th inning.  I mean come on, who really cares about that?

Another obscure fact that was told to me was there was a double header between two teams in baseball.  The first game was cut short in the 8th inning but the second game was played fully and the guys mentioned that was the first time that this has happened (can’t remember if it was the first time in baseball history or between the two teams).  Again, another useful fact that I doubt anyone care about.

I am waiting to hear what the batting average of a player in the month of may, on odd years, in a certain ballpark when the moon was full that night, I am sure they have it stored somewhere.  I guess they need to have something to talk about.
