AN OUT IS AN OUT???
Well, I'm a classic "moneyball" guy and Oakland A's fan, so I'll take you up on that... First off, the vast majority of all games are won with a "big inning"...in fact, in softball, often times the winning team will score more runs in one inning than the losing team does in the whole game....so...- MiltonBC
