* Baseball and a sick nation

October 25, 2008

An interesting trio team up in this Times op-ed piece comparing the tools used to analyze baseball and the American health system.

Oakland As GM Billy Beane, Newt Gingrich, and John Kerry — the new Tinkers to Evers to Chance? Or O’Brien to Ryan to Goldberg, perhaps?

Interesting excerpt:

“…a doctor today can get more data on the starting third baseman on his fantasy baseball team than on the effectiveness of life-and-death medical procedures.”
