Baseball numbers

Our little leaguers won their game yesterday, 9-8. The Giants beat the A's and Barry Bonds hit his 714th homerun .

Baseball and numbers. Baseball fans love stats. The game is the ultimate fantasy sport for pattern recognition obsessives (statheads).

My fantasy baseball team is weak, near the bottom in its league. But, during this long, wet weekend in the Bay Area, baseball and numbers are dominating my thoughts, as I struggle to ignore what is really on my mind.

Can you put somebody out of your mind? My friend says so. I'm not so sure. But I'm trying to fill my brain with numbers today to test out her concept.
