In tonight’s Mets game, Angel Pagan started a defensive triple play, AND hit an inside the park home run.
Someone get the Elias Sports Bureau on the phone.
I set up the Factorial Cup. Unfortunately, Yahoo doesn’t have inside the park home runs as a stat, so we’re using outfield assists right now. Maybe we should change it to hitting for the cycle?

Obviously, since I’m putting the info here, the league is not restricted to nerd baseball contributors. It’s an auto draft, so if you feel strongly about getting certain players, set up an auto draft list. Remember, at stake is the title of Most Exciting Nerd.
I joined a new fantasy baseball league this year, supremely confident that I could manage two baseball teams provided I only ignore the rest of my life (I have no idea how NYC does three leagues). With the draft coming up, we had a discussion of rules, specifically, what stats should count. A few of us felt that walks were undervalued, and suggested some combination of BB or OBP to account for this. However, the response from the rest of the league was that walks are boring, and thus have no place in fantasy baseball. I’m on board with the walks are boring sentiment, but it got me to thinking, what would a fantasy baseball league look like if it were composed of the most exciting stats?
