If the answer is yes- that's awesome. Just leave out Joe "well when I played" Morgan. Will I know everything Pete Rose has ever said if I continue reading this blog?

Kindle is amazon.com's ebook reader. The actual physical version is still more expensive. Hey, are you still sending signed stickers?

Ever since "The Long Season" was published before Civil rights movement became everyday life, we 've heard how bad professional baseball players party and drug themselves (with things legal and illegal, recreational and tobacco). Of course Wrigley needs to adopt more night games, and Jeter would tell you why. Major league players are paid big to get a life as well, I guess... I ‘ll take that “hungover” as reason No.1.

Not because there's no difference between day and night, but because average OBP is only .335. I was always led to believe that .360 was average. A guy who gets on base at a .360 clip is actually quite a bit better than average. “Major League Baseball averages for day games, 2000-2007: .265/.335/.425

I don't have the time or the inclination to test any of this in a rigorous way, but there's no reason why the two factors, one a plus and one a minus, couldn't cancel themselves out and leave us with the same overall level of offense in day and night games.
