Jim Baker Explains it All

This was probably written by an editor and may come off as nitpicky, but I care not for such things. What follows is a blurb hyping a Jim Baker article that appeared on Friday's Page 2:

The object isn't just to steal the most bases, it's also to avoid getting caught. Here's a look at baseball's all-time best.

Preview for Jim Baker's next column: "The object isn't just to score runs, it's also to win the game. Here's a look at the teams with the best winning percentages."

P.S. Yes, I am aware that the article is about guys who have had good Steal/Attempts percentages. Obviously a guy who goes 40/42 in a season is more valuable than a guy who goes 45/60, but the blurb is a really really dumb way of saying it.

  1. Page 2 could stand to have more best friends visit their bedroom with a ladder in the window.
