For baseball and/or Bugs Bunny fans

Derek Zumsteg of USS Mariner has way too much time on his hands.

I mean it. Way, way too much time.

How do I know this? He's done a long statistical analysis of a baseball game in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

This is absolutely hysterical. Imagine a baseball game report written by the Mythbusters teamed up with Bill James. Add Bugs Bunny. Stir.

We open to see "a screaming liner" hit by the home team. The outcome of the hit is not defined, and the hit itself seems an indicator that the game was not official: the ball appears to be a shade of grey, and makes an almost-human screaming noise as it travels. Since the balls used in the remainder of the game are white, and since we also see that the Teatotallers are a horrible offensive team, it is reasonable to conclude that this footage is from some kind of pre-game exhibition, or perhaps an entirely different game entirely.

How do I know I have a good boss? First thing Monday morning, he stuck his head in my office and asked me if I'd seen this yet. When I said that I hadn't had a chance to catch up on my RSS reader, he emailed me the permalink to that post.
