Lindy says pig-farming is good training for baseball management:
"Raising pigs and this baseball thing really go together," he told the Times. "There are certain things in farming -- keeping track of productivity, indexes for your sows, the genetic lines there."
Time for an Angus breakdown:
This is just one of many reasons why the internet is so great. Isolated, useless, genius can emerge and be rewarded.
I think pig farming would help real world baseball executives by getting them accustomed to how players behave.
The accomplishment seems remarkable, but given the innumerable number of fantasy leagues and players, wouldn't we expect something like this to happen at some point? Is it really pig-inspired baseball genius or is it more like a guy winning the lottery twice in a row (see Kahneman on the illusion of skill)?
