There’s a scene in the television show “The Office” which anyone who has seen the show will immediately recall. It’s in the final episode with Michael as the boss, as his coworkers sing a touching song, “9,986,000 Minutes,” in honor of all the time that Michael worked at Dunder Mifflin. It’s a little bit cheesy, a little bit off-tune, but a lot a bit touching if you were a fan of the show.
Watching the baseball season, I often have a similar thought. Last season, there were 49,606 games and 158,587 plate appearances across the league.
