Murray Chass has had enough. Enough of Roger, Bernie, and A-Rod. Me too, despite the generation gap between Chass and I. Still, I know that 70 year-old guys and 25 year-old guys are going to have different takes on the game of baseball. This is only logical. But to create this divide between those who like stats and those who don’t is silly. If I brought up VORP to my grandpa or the guys at work the baseball conversations would die pretty quickly. There are many different ways to appreciate the game.
Chass, however, comes out firing against "new-age" statistics. Baseball Prospectus keeps its cool and would just like to talk. Meanwhile, Fire Joe Morgan shot back with the venom I was craving.
