Hardest place to do math.

Yankee Stadium:

MLB Player's poll: Toughest places to play.

First entry, Yankee Stadium:

"Since Joe Torre took over as manager in 1996 through 2005, the Yankees are 513-292 (.805) at home in the Bronx,"

A .637 winning percentage is impressive enough without botching the math. Silly sports writers. Get a calculator!

Yeah...
If you pay attention to the comment threads at USSM, there's point #3,574,324 as to why Bob Finnigan can't retire soon enough (aka "Why Editors Really Do Nothing").
Free George Sherrill. And Dan Rohn.

Good Lord.
Now we know sports writers are imbeciles.

"Math Is Hard"......(maybe THEY should be getting the Barbie dolls....)

Interesting
513+292 = 805, which suggests they did actually do the math (or started to) but then made a typo or something.
