It reminds me of my youth when I was a statistics junkie.

I’d watch the San Francisco Giants’ night games, particularly when they played the Los Angeles Dodgers. I’d keep a scorecard and then do the math at the end of the game. If Willie Mays was batting .304 entering the game and went 2x4 or 0x4, I’d update his average — sometimes without paper and pencil. I did the same for a few other players.

He’s changed the scope of golf and of sport. He’s the athlete who can resurrect pro sports from is often unappealing win-at-any-cost mentality. It won’t take much. Woods is a fierce competitor. If he can show the world a little extra sporting graciousness he can make all the difference. ]]> no@spam.com (James Raia) Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:11:18 CDT http://www.golftribune.com/articles/504/1/James-Raia-On-Golf-Tiger-Woods-Great-Golfer-In-Need-Of-Attitude-Adjustment/Page1.html
