The term 'percentage points' is used when two teams are tied in the standings but have not played the same amount of games.

Team A has won 90 games and lost 60 games

Team B has won 89 games and lost 59 games

The way to determine how many games one team is behind another team is to subtract the two teams wins, subtract the two teams losses, add those two numbers together and divide by 2. Using Team A and Team B as an example, we would use the equasion:

((90 - 89) + (59 - 60)) / 2 which works out to be (1 + -1) / 2 which works out to be 0 / 2 which equals 0. Team A and Team B are tied in the standings. But Team A's winning percentage is .600 and Team B's winning percentage is .601. Even though Team A and Team B are tied in the standings, Team B has a higher winning percentage than Team A.

In a situation like this, you might hear an announcer or sportscaster say "Team B is percentage points ahead of Team A" or "Team A and Team B are tied but Team B leads by percentage points".

A hanging curveball is a curveball that is thrown in a way that makes it easier to hit. A good example of one is a slow curveball that is thrown down the middle. If you get one of these babies thrown to you while your at the plate, swing at it. It is an easy pitch to crush for a dinger or at least a double.

In the mid-1950s, Brooklyn owner Walter O'Malley was frustrated by his inability to persuade New York City officials to back a new stadium for the Dodgers. When the City of Los Angeles offered the team a lucrative deal, O'Malley persuaded New York Giants owner Horace Stoneham to move his club to San Francisco to keep alive their longtime rivalry. Both teams moved to the West Coast in time for the 1958 season.

Robert Greenberg is known for his work as a musicologist, but specific information about his personal life, including details about his wife, is not widely available. As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, he has not publicly disclosed significant details about his marital status or family. For the most accurate and current information, it may be best to consult recent interviews or his official social media profiles.

The first batter to hit four home runs in a single Major League Baseball game was Bobby Lowe of the Boston Beaneaters. He accomplished this feat on May 30, 1894, during a game against the Louisville Colonels. Lowe's achievement set a remarkable precedent in baseball history, and he remains one of the few players to have reached this milestone.

April 14, 1969 was the date of the Expos first MLB home game played at Parc Jarry.
