Even at the college level, an eternal debate between the baseball "purists" and the more progressive stat-minded folks.

I like this Allen Wagner guy. =D

And that Christian guy, he doesn't know what he's talking about. =D!

We got into a bit of an argument and decided to write a bit of a point-counterpoint type of thing... turned out pretty good I think, although it's not actually in Point-Counterpoint format.

I saw a stat recently on a baseball blog about how some guy has actually put in the time and research to come up with a "preliminary aging curve for fastball speed."

Memo to college journalism student: if you’re going to reference a study, please note the actual source and author it’s from. This factually verifies what you are saying.
