Baseball Is a Sport for Nerds

Posted On 3 April 2011

I do not present myself as an example here, but the point is automatically taken.

Do you like numbers? Stats? Deriving crucial information from those stats? Obsessing over percentages, choices made, and the consequences of those acts?

Baseball is the sport for you.

I present for you the MLB.com Gameday default view:

Ryan Markel

I'm a career support professional and team leader with over two decades of experience. I believe in leading and coaching teams of humans through active listening and empathy. I also work to broaden the understanding of these concepts, as well as of the importance of remote work, a culture of graceful mistakes, and diversity of thought in everyday work environments.

It’s true. I hope you’ve seen the ESPN commercial with the “jocks talking about Tim Lincecum’s WHIP” and the geekier looking kids walking over and calling them nerds.

In case you haven’t:

Couldn’t be more of a true title/commercial. Baseball + numbers + computer technology = perfection.
