The new math
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Ichiro Suzuki’s 56 hits
in August are not the most in a month by a major-leaguer in 68 years as originally reported. It’s only the highest in a month since Jeff Heath got 58 for Cleveland in August 1938. (That’s 66 years–spare your calculators.)
Wild-card races
Listen not to the critics, for there is no shame in a race for fourth place.
