Baseball post-season is underway. Baseball is full of statistics, some more meaningful than others such as HR ratios, strike out ratios, and batting averages. Others get down right meaningly when all is said and done, such as a players batting average against left handers with runners on second and third in a dome with the roof open and the wind blowing right to left at night with temperature below 60 F.
In honor of the sport that has more statistical frameworks than any other sport, let me toss out some figures/statisticss associated with my life. I would challenge the reader to guess what each represents. Take your guesses and in a week I will post what is what.
a) 18,899 days (this is an easy one)
b) 2 (this is enough for me thank you)
c) 2:49 (this is from July of this year)
d) 12 vehicles
e) 7 in June and July of 2007
f) 4-10-9-4-2-2-2-7-5-6+ for a total of 10
g) 91.6 (linked to “c”)
h) 16.1 miles or 41 minutes
i) 25,000,000
j) 9.7 mpg
k) 11 Corps
l) 95.1, 93.7, 91.6 (if you get “g” you will get this one)
m) 1:31 (from July)
n) 52 days
o) 247 miles
p) 5-6-7-20
q) 33
r) 5 games in 2 days
s) 16 stadiums
t) 5 out of 23
u) 100,000.0 (hit this on Josh’s birthday)

These are my very poor guesses:
a) 18,899 days (this is an easy one) - gotta be how many days you've been on this earth.
b) 2 (this is enough for me thank you) children
c) 2:49 (this is from July of this year)
d) 12 vehicles you've owned
e) 7 in June and July of 2007
f) 4-10-9-4-2-2-2-7-5-6+ for a total of 10
g) 91.6 (linked to “c”)
h) 16.1 miles or 41 minutes
i) 25,000,000
j) 9.7 mpg the RV mileage
k) 11 Corps you've soldiered at
l) 95.1, 93.7, 91.6 (if you get “g” you will get this one)
m) 1:31 (from July) something to do with the satalite radio?
n) 52 days Until Christmas?
o) 247 miles
p) 5-6-7-20
q) 33
r) 5 games in 2 days - baseball games you attened
s) 16 stadiums- I was going to say baseball stadiums you've been in but I'm thinking that it may be stadiums that Josh played in
t) 5 out of 23
u) 100,000.0 (hit this on Josh’s birthday) 100,000 miles on the RV?
That's it. I may come back and edit.
Barb - your following guesses are correct
a, b, j, k, n,
"R" is also correct. This was the number of major league games attended in two days and between two cities years ago. Three in Chicago on July 4 and two in Detroit on July 5.
"S" is correct, the number of major baseball stadiums visited for a game. Josh marched in 32 different stadiums this summer. If we add high school marching band he will have marched in 39 stadiums in one year.
"M" has nothing to do with satalite radio. That is the time (one hour and thirty-one minutes) it took Evie and I to drive from the Bracebridge Corps to the 407/Hwy 10 junction.
"U" - the RV only has around 35,000 miles. "U" is the number of miles my business vehicle hit on Josh's birthday to the exact tenth as I pulled into my parking spot at home.
