Baseball: How The West Is Won or The Lazy Man's Way To A Championship
Tip! The pitcher grips that ball with different styles. When he wants the baseball to veer or curve to the left as it approaches the plate he grips the ball a certain way.
I'm a Chicago White Sox fan, despite the fact that I've spent most of my years living on the Left Coast.
To me, the Sox are a real team, in the same way Chicago is a real town.
Anyway, in this day and age, the Central Division of the American League is where the action is, with Detroit and my Sox leading all of major league ball in winning percentages.
Both teams are in the high.600's, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Contrast these winners with the also-rans in the Western Division of the National League, where a day or two ago, three teams shared first place, with a winning percentage that just topped .500.
Last year, if I recall correctly, San Diego, the ultimate division winner, was about to achieve that perch with an overall record of LESS THAN .500, until Providence stepped in and gave that team of near losers, a rock bottom, barely respectable win-loss record by season's end.
Tip! You could gift him the team insignia towel as the baseball gift or a pair of sunglasses to wear during the baseball games in the stadium. Your thoughtfully planned baseball gift tells your man that you do think about him.
The Padres were made short work of in the post-season, which was only fair, given their ineptitude.
But it hit me that if you have a bundle of dough, and you want to pursue the lazy man's way to a championship, you must make sure to buy a team in this low grade division.
Coincidentally, the Western Division of the American League is also populated with low-percentage winners, as well. Right this second, Oakland is in first, with a .524 winning percentage.
So, if you want to break into baseball ownership, forget about vying for the Yankees, Boston, or Atlanta, almost perennial post-season participants. You can save a few hundred million by investing in a Western Division team, and even in a bad year, your team will come in first or second.
