Re: A-Rod opts out of contract
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] A player who hits 250 homeruns in a season but doesn't win a championship can not go back and argue that his 250 homeruns is more likely to have won his team a championship, unless he has a time machine. [/ QUOTE ] Sure he can. It should be rather obvious that hitting 250 home runs is more likely to win a championship than striking out every time. [/ QUOTE ] The probability of past events is 1.0. You can't say someone is more likely to have won a championship when he didn't win a championship. The probability of him not having won a championship is 100%. Is this point really over people's heads? Many people who discuss "greatest" are not trying to predict the future. They are trying to predict the past. |
