Thought on a Cold Morning:

WHY IS THE GAME OF BASEBALL LIKE WEATHER REPORTING?

Answer: Because you can get so many foolish statistics out of either one.

It bugs me that the weather reporters will say “Today is the coldest January 15 in 25 years in West Palm Beach” as if that’s a big deal. If they said (as granted, they sometimes do) “coldest winter” or even “coldest January” that would be news, and it would be even bigger news if they said “coldest winter in all of southern Florida.” What are the odds that one day out of all the days in a winter will break a record for being coldest ON THAT DAY? Pretty good, if you ask me. So what's the big deal?

Thank you. I feel better for getting that off my chest…….
