I, for one, welcome our new SABR overlords



What choice do we all have? There is apparently no stopping them. Soon we will all wear pocket protectors. And I, for one, welcome our new SABR overlords. I would like to remind them that as a trusted statistician, I can be most helpful in rounding up the more mathematically challenged to toil in their abacus laden cubicles.

One thing I would advise the good people at Topps, however. If you ever decide to add players Twitter accounts to the back of said cards, I will never buy another Topps product again. I promise you that!!!

from Yahoo Sports:
Topps to include WAR on back of future baseball cards | Big League Stew - Yahoo! Sports:
