The best satire is the kind where you can’t tell if it’s a joke or not. Here’s an article that purports to address the state of sabermetric inquiry. Whatever the intent, it’s freakin’ hilarious:
If you are indeed a college physics graduate (and if you’re not, then you really should be in order to appreciate the […]
