                  THE BASEBALL RABBI PODCAST

 

Welcome to The Baseball Rabbi Podcast - where Pesach Wolicki and Scott Kahn talk sabermetrics and baseball history, with a dose of fandom, fWAR, and Fenway.

Aug 9, 2018

For the second straight year, it looks as though three Major League teams may win 100 games - something that has happened in consecutive years only once before. The conventional wisdom is that we're in an era of superteams, and that this might be a long-term problem for baseball. But does baseball actually have a parity problem? Pesach Wolicki and Scott Kahn compare MLB with the other major North American professional sports leagues to see which has the most parity, and to determine once and for all if there's a need to address this pressing issue - or whether things are actually fine the way they are.
