What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here …
• It’s obvious that Mike Napoli signed with the Texas Rangers so he could be in the same division as the Angels and thus continue to torment them on a regular basis.
• Napoli’s career OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) against the Angels is 1.139. If Napoli’s career OPS against all teams was 1.139, that would make him second all-time in that category behind Babe Ruth (1.163) and ahead of Ted Williams (1.115).
• Napoli has homered against the Angels 19 times in 213 at bats, or 8.
