Same here. I commented to my wife on this when the up-to-the-moment odds of Eddie Rosario hitting a home run were posted while he was at the plate. True, a player must try hard to hit a home run and there is a measure of luck to it. What if, instead, it's the odds of him striking out?

As I have said elsewhere, as a group, people are too darned dumb to learn from history. Thus, they keep repeating it.
