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!

Good Lord.
Now we know sports writers are imbeciles.

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