I loved this part:

Quote
Bill James examined the disparity in a 4½-page essay in Dewan's book and concluded that Jeter can't carry Everett's jock, never mind his glove, as a defender.

News that is sufficiently bad somehow carries its own guarantee of truth.  Only good reports need confirmation.

"...the public is oblivious because Everett is a banjo hitter in a football market."  That's being kind Jerry, the public in Houston is just plain oblivious.  They don't need a reason.
