Eventually, I decided that instead of complaining, I would actually go back and see if there’s any truth to the general assumption that Boston and New York dominate Sunday Night Baseball. IMDB, of all places, turned out to be the fastest way to find a log of all the Sunday Night Baseball games over the years. A few Excel spreadsheets later…

Broken link.
It works, it's probably just overwhelmed (Deadspin linked to it).
Edit: I just clicked, got an error, refreshed and it worked.

Worked for me first time.
Kinda amazing they haven't had either Toronto or Seattle on SNB once since 2004.

This used to bother me a lot more. Back when we sucked. Now I just shake my head.

What surprised me wasn't just that the Yankees and Red Sox were on so much, or that other teams get picked quite a bit (for obvious reasons). Essentially half of all appearances in the past decade have been from SIX teams,

I wanted to think you made a mistake, i.e., that you mistook those 6 teams being in half the games with them making half of the total appearances... but you didn't, you were right: 6 teams made half of the appearances...
That's a damn crime.
I wonder what % would be expected if you went by team success... but I don't wonder about it enough to figure it out...

Just among those six teams, they have all been reasonably successful over the past decade. Even the Mets have been .500 (exactly: 810-810) over that period, and the second-worst record (the Dodgers) averages 85-77.

Every time I read the Nats rotation, I just stop and think wow. And it's unlikely any other team in their division wins more than about 75 games. They should win the division running away again. Think they have a very legit shot at winning 100 this season.

Its shocking to me that Sparky was only 61 when he retired in '95. Shocking.

He always looked way older than he actually was.
That's his card from his first year managing. You can already see the gray/white hair, and he was 36.
