By the way, at what point is it not early…
I hate to defer to Mike and the Mad Dog on anything, but I always go with Memorial Day as the benchmark for when to start looking at baseball records and stats as things that might be actually happening and not just merely the whims of small sample size.
And yeah, two months of baseball isn’t really a very big sample size in the grand scheme of things either, especially when you’re talking about a player’s stats. But by then everyone’s so sick of qualifying everything that we all have to sort of agree to just talk about stuff as if it might be really happening and not as if there’s no way it lasts.
Anyway, the Mets still have 23 games to play before it stops being early.
