I could press my whole wardrobe with all this ironing.

Bill James has degrees in English, Economics, and Education and never played a game of baseball. It took a while for his ideas to take hold in baseball in part because he is NOT a jock. He's a nerd, through and through.

But do continue to wantonly trash sportsmen and sportswomen.
