It’s not whether you win or lose..
It’s whether you end up in Cooperstown.
I was reading yesterday’s entry on my Major League Baseball calendar, and was greeted with this Dubious Achievement:
Hall of Famer Pud Galvin lost 20 or more games in 10 consecutive seasons. No other pitcher had more than five straight 20-loss seasons.
And he wound up in the freakin’ Hall o’ Fame, says I?
Of course, things were different back then. Way back then. Check out The Little Steam Engine’s record. From 1879-1889, he lost 27, 35, 24, 23, 29, 22, 26, 21, 21, and 25 games respectively. Of course in that span he also won 37, 20, 28, 28, 46, 46, 16, 29, 28 and 23 games. His career win loss record? 54%, with 705 games pitched, 364 wins and 310 losses.
Bizarre.
I can’t wait for opening day.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
