Hot Stove League is Heating Up!!!

It's official! The Hot Stove League is in full swing! Jen has registered the first complaint regarding the lack of press that both she and Mark received in the game summary given that they were the ONLY two players to go 3 for 3. My response is that there is a BIG difference between an A-Rod like 3 for 3....3 solo home runs in a 12-3 loss after the team was already down 12 runs.....and say a Bobby Abreu 3 for 3....2 Singles to drive in tying or go ahead runs with the walk off game winning grand slam in the bottom of the 11th. But, softball, just like baseball, is ruled by statistics. In fact you would think that Abner Doubleday was a direct descendant to the famous statistician R. A. Fisher even though Fisher was born three years prior to Doubleday's death! (I only deal in broad concepts here, not minor details!)
I'm certain that Jen and Mark's agent (Michelle "don't call me Michael" Boras) will use these stats to extract an exhorbitant sum of money in signing bonuses and incentive clauses from their new club over the winter!
