In response to "I never said there's only 1 team in baseball. If there was, the Cubs wouldn't have finished 2nd." by Will Hunting

And you miss the whole story of that year. The numbers don't tell you enough and you obviously don't want to know more.

Basically I think that's a little sad. That you want to know nothing more about it than the numbers of the WS winning team. And I don't mean just the Cubs and Mets, the whole season. The players, the characters, the losers. It's more than the numbers. Any season is more interesting than that.

I don't see how anyone can call themselves a baseball fan and just look at the numbers. It's a very limited view.

As I said go read some Roger Angell.

        I got the point. You want me to tell the story. I'm not helping my cause by not. - the liioulu with rickrack Feb 26, 18:30
