No Pepper

New title, same great links. No pepper against the fence.

Shawn Hoffman takes a swing at the revenue-sharing kerfuffle. He notes that the whole dispute is an artifact of the secrecy of the teams' actual numbers.

Professor Morong offers at the list of 300 times on base/300 total bases seasons. Only 19 players have done it at least twice in their careers. I learned from this that Paul Waner's nickname was the Big Poison, which is awesome.

Is math a basic human instinct? You wouldn't guess so based on, well, intuition, but some evidence suggests otherwise.

NPR's Jennifer Ludden has a mound visit with Strat-O-Matic inventor Hal Richman and researcher Scott Simkus. They discuss the history and future of Strat as well as the new Negro League card set. 

Tom M. Tango, with a swing a long drive, hits the Grand CSV of Unification. Let your databases interact with impunity.

Awesome title.

At least you aren’t changing from a previous title because it creeped people out. :/

Big Poison

I read somewhere that his nickname stemmed from some fan in New York not knowing who he was and calling him “Big Person” but because of his accent, it got twisted to “Big Poison” and stuck. Not sure how true it is but its a nice story.
