Peter Gammons’ Most Improbable Pocket Tweet Yet
November 9, 2011
Mathematics shows us that three apes, hitting keys at random on typewriters for an infinite amount of time, will almost surely produce Hamlet. Reality, however, shows us that a Nokia 8210 left alone in the pea-coat pocket of well-respected baseballing journalist Peter Gammons will produce the above tweet.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
You think you’ve come so far is showing what real value there is in a ballpplayer, and then….. Gammo’d.
Plops.
I’ll add, however, the I’m happy for Willie Bloomquist. I don’t know what he’s doing besides playing baseball, but he’s made it marketable, whatever it is.
So long as it’s not my team, I’m always happy to see players get overpaid.
This is a very sensible way of thinking.
That works fine in the short run. Long term overpay by everyone else eventually becomes normal (and thus is not overpay).
