Rereading my post, I admit I wasn't clear on this. And yes, some stats are kind of silly.

It reminds me of a scene in the movie Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck. He's an aging baseball star and they tell him he's been sold to a Japanese team. He doesn't like this, and he says "I was the MVP in the All-Star game!" (OR World Series, can't remember) The coach says "That was three years ago." Selleck counters with "I led the division in triples in August!"
