Looking deep at numbers
Here's something to keep you a little busy as we wait for the Super Bowl. This may be of particular interest to stat lovers who are eager for baseball to come back.
If you play around with the numbers for New York Mets first baseman Julio Franco, you'll see that he's racked up a career average of 1.06 hits/game. At that pace, it would only take him another 1,636 games to break Pete Rose's all-time hits record.
Maybe Franco can do it. He's 47, still on a big league roster, and shows no signs of going anywhere. Now, if Franco breaks the record and writes a book of his own, I'd probably give it a read.
