Interesting assements. One correction. Whitey Ford broke Ruth's record for consecutive scoreless innings in a World Series with 33. The 'evolution' or 'develution' of the game,depending on how you look at it, makes it very difficult to come to conclusions based on pure numbers. I would suggest there has been a development in pitching that so impacted the early to mid 60's that they had to 'lower the mound' to 'make it fair'. Overall, the game of baseball is probably one that will always evolve technique wise as preparation and technology open doors for study on just how to throw and control the seams and hit a round ball with a round bat. Baseball is the most scientific of all sports.

This is funny!!! Progressives 'really' believe that they are 'needed' and 'must' step up and manage society. That 'we' shouldn't have 'reasons' of our own to live and work in certain areas and apply our individual skills. And if we do have 'reasons', they are wrong,misguided and foolish. Yet another necessary task to create Utopia.

What more can I say. Dr.Sowell has a way of breaking things down, that are advertised as 'complexed issues', into a clearly identifiable misdirection from the truth. Left Wing 'Think Tanks', uninvolved, non-participants in 'everyday life' can only 'see' statistics. They travel in a small circle of people that are much like them, who also have little data. They sit among themselves and confirm 'misinformation' based on misinterpreted behavior, come to 'their' reasonings, then insert it into the framework of society. The thing that bothers 'me', is we let them. Just a thought.........
