As we anxiously await for the 2009 season schedule to be posted to the league website, we keep our fingers crossed for a majority of games where we always seem to play well. At the suggestion of David Solomon (manager of HM/RAMSA), we have added a new feature to the league standings page. You now have the ability to filter team records by season and field. Who would have known last season that Hecksher Field #1 had Gensler (champion two years running) at 0-2 with a 0.611 Ratio, while RRA/DBB (last year's 9th place team) was 2-0 with a 5.00 ratio. This statistical feature will be especially neat in years to come when more data has been compiled.
I can't help but wonder if Gensler (league commissioner / schedule maker) takes these results into consideration when laying out the schedule and "mysteriously" leaves themselves off of any games at Hecksher. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Very interesting point by the SLAM statistician. What he coincidentally failed to point out however was the fact that the fear in Gensler's eyes were reflected in the early part of the schedule which was released this week(generated by our esteemed commissioners at Gensler): 2 games on the GL, one on the North Meadow and then finally 1 game on Hecksher (against GSA who was 1-10 last season). Hmmmmmm
