Fielder vs. Braun

by Chris Jaffe
September 27, 2008

Just got back from tonight's Cub-Brewer game in Milwaukee. I saw so many Ryan Braun jerseys than Prince Fielder ones I started to keep a tally. Result:

Braun: 48
Fielder: 12

Also, I counted 10 Hardys, 5 Harts, 4 Sheets, and 1 Carlo Lee.

(There's no repeats - there's a way I know that, but it's long/boring to explain).

History instructor by day, statnerd by night, Chris Jaffe leads one of the most exciting double lives imaginable; with the exception of every other double life humanly possible to imagine. Despite his lack of comic-book-hero-worthiness, Chris enjoys farting around with this stuff and welcomes responses to his articles via e-mail. He recently signed a contract with McFarland to write "Evaluating Baseball's Managers" tentatively slated to be done in 2009.
