While listening to Sunday night’s Mets vs. Yanks game on ESPN radio, I found the answer to the following trivia question (adapted for nerd baseball fans):

In June 2009 baseball terms, what does the number 27 stand for?

a) OPS+ of the typical nerd
b) number of times Tim McCarver has described a bloop single as a “check swing plop job”
c) speed, in miles per hour, that the typical nerd pitcher can throw
d) the TOTAL number of home runs hit by the Mets 25 man active roster.

Sadly, if you answered “d,” you are correct.
