Upping the Ante

MGL at The Book blog ups the ante on Tango Tiger's clutch project.

Here is the kicker. I am willing to donate a substantial sum of money to a charity chosen by one side of the debate - the "non-sabermetric" side of course, if they win. We would have to define "winning" - maybe best of 3, if we do 3 things, like clutch, batter/pitchers, and hot/cold. Or we can do each one separately.

If the sabermetric side wins, I will also donate money, but that will be to a charity of our choice and it will be less money.

I'm not sure how much, but it would be on the order of $10,000 for them and $5,000 for us. What the heck. Anything to make a point. If this flies, let none of my/our detractors/naysayers EVER say that I won't put my money where my mouth is! This should generate some good publicity and might encourage the media and perhaps some insiders to participate.

Mitchel is looking for members of the baseball media and baseball insiders to contribute to this project. If you're one of them, I hope you'll participate.
