The Sports Guy's Diary of NLCS Game 7

[PaperAirplane31]

The AL has won 59 World Series to the NL's 42. That's .584 winning percentage or to put in Regular season baseball terms a 94-95 win team.

Let's take out the 26 the Yankees have won.

59 - 26 = 33

So without the Yanks the AL is 33-42 and has a .440 winning percentage. Which is about 71 wins in an MLB season.

Well if you take the Yankees out of the equation you also have to take the Yankees losses out of the equation since you are saying they aren't apart of the American League anymore. That then gives the American League a 33-29 record in the World Series. Yes, the Yankees mess up the World Series numbers a bit but there dominance also goes to the dominance of the league. Taking them out is like saying the Yankees, Tigers, and Twins should be taken out of the equation this year in looking at which league is more dominate. Sure using the World Series isn't the best statistic but it does give one an idea of which league is producing the best teams.

That has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever read. I was at the game and it was gut wrenching. McCarver does need to hang them up. I don't think he has said anything worthwhile in 15 years!
