Broadcasts need to do a better job of presenting worthwhile statistics

Last weekend, my parents were in town. We were watching Saturday night’s baseball game between the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins. We were on the edge of our seats as we watched Jorge Lopez try to complete the 25th* perfect game in Major League Baseball history. He did not. It was still fun.

During the game, Ryan O’Hearn stepped up to bat. Fox Sports Kansas City displayed O’Hearn’s night so far in the standard plate appearance graphic, and then displayed his batting average, runs batted in, and home runs.
