We’re grateful for the math-wiz geeks
Sabermetrics and the spreadsheets
They tally up each out and run
Analyzing what’s been done
But can you really quantify
The drama with computer eye
One tick late or one tick quick
One sure out becomes a hit
Past performance can suggest
Who might be better than the rest
But your predictions now must yield
To the outcome on the field
‘Cause when it’s all been said and done
Today the game is lost or won
Here in this moment, not by stat,
With baseball glove and baseball bat.
