While contemplating how easily Alex Rodriguez could be hitting .500 in the playoffs if a little luck were on his side, I realized that his batting average yet another example of the distorting effect of a small sample size.
With this in mind, Anthony McCarron apparently expects Derek Jeter to go 5-for-5 in every game. Either that, or McCarron just felt like writing an anti-Jeter article in a New York newspaper, for no other reason than to see what it feels like.
I haven't brushed up on my baseball record books lately, but a 1.000 playoff batting average would be, like, a record, or something.

I read that article hoping it was going to be satire, but nope, just some twatbag trying to bring Jeter down a peg.
I also like the way McCarron says that the Jeter's double was probably his best moment of the day. Jeter was 1-for-4. So the hit was probably the best moment. As opposed to the outs. Which are typically not as good as hits.
