This year has been another exciting year in the major leagues. Records have been made, and some surpassed. It seems like every year there are new records being pasted. The amount of stats that are keep in this day and age is ridicules. There are stats for anything and everything possible. Averages on home runs, hitting averages, not just in general, but as fear as in what kind of conditions there in, such as rain, time, temperature and so on. It almost seems like there is an abundance of useless information here.
I mean I'm guilty myself, soaking in all of the information on a daily bases. It just amazes me on the stats that are keep up to date, in all sports. Allot of records are very popular and important though. I have been to a Phillie's game were Cole Hamel's pitched all 9 inning an had a shut out, withs is pretty awesome for baseball. I was glad to be able to have seen something in person like this. Being a big Phillie's fan this is one of my top memories, along with tailgating in Philly for game 4 of the 2008 world series. This year i was lucky enough to go to New York City for September 11th, and visit ground zero. That night we went to a Yankees game, an it just happen that the tickets we bought 5 months prior ended up being the game that Derek Jeter broke Lou Gehrig's all time Yankees hit record. This was a extremely historic record i was lucky enough to see.
So what I'm getting to is were do you draw the line between important record, and us less information people waste there time on keeping track off. I guess someone out there cares about it if its important enough to record it some were. I just think its a wast of time, and even money because someone somewhere is getting paid for a job such as recording this records.
