Stephen Jay Gould dies Dennis Perrin <dperrin at comcast.net>

Let us not forget Gould's love of baseball, perhaps the most mathematical of all the major sports. He was a traditionalist (as am I) who preferred grass to turf, open skies to domes, and who was a true baseball intellectual as compared to that pseudo, George Will.

Happy journey, SJG.

CB: I share DP's and others' praise of Gould.

I am wondering about baseball as most mathematical sport. Do you mean keeping the largest number of categories of statistics ?
