In real life, I’m in grad school to become a therapist. Like many other peoples’ jobs, what I do for work can impact how I think about baseball and the Yankees. For example, I’m about as much of a #baseballnerd as you can get. My favorite stats are xwOBA and wRC+. The more numbers and letters in a stat, the more likely I am to like it. Heck, I wrote an entire blog comparing when the only thing that matters is they all agree he’s awesome.
However, because I spend my days listening to people talk, I know to value the human element of the game.
