Congratulations to the New York Yankees, who won the World Series this week over the Phillies in 6 games. It hasn't happened too often in recent years, but in 2009, the best team won. The Yankees led the majors with 56.9 total wins above replacement (WAR) this season. The team that leads the majors in WAR has only won the World Series in the same year two other times since the creation of the statistic at the beginning of this decade. Ironically, both of those times, the team to do it was the Boston Red Sox.
Well, anyway, congratulations to the New York Yankees. Even though as a Mets fan I despise them, I've learned through watching this series that I despise the Phillies more, at least at the moment.
Entering the off season, I must announce that I won't be posting every week again until the start of spring training 2010. However, I will write occasionally. My big project of the winter will be creating a model for a projection system. I will update you on this as it progresses, which will hopefully be soon.
As always, thanks for reading!
