COMMENTARY
In baseball, 100 has long resonated. A sign of extremes, on both sides of the spectrum.
In the regular season, 100 victories is dominance, even if the bloating of the playoffs means it rarely leads to championship gold. Conversely, 100 losses is a level of bad beyond, reserved only for the worst. (It barely slowed the White Sox, who reached it more than a week ago.)
When the RBI was king, 100 was the checkbox of a great season. Seventeen players scored 100 runs last year, and there wasn’t a slouch in the bunch.
