As a Brooklyn native, the number 42 relates to one specific individual, Jackie Robinson. Since I try to stay way from politics and we have three inches of snow on the ground, I though I would glance at this Hall of Famer's statistics.
Damn, the virus and snow has caused me to become a hybrid of Monet and LMR (try putting them both together in the same room).
If you take Jackie's: RBI total minus Batting Average minus Home Runs minus Steals of Home (a major league record at the time) minus date of debut divided by number of all star appearances…...what do you get? Number 42
734 - 311 - 137 - 19 - 15 ./. 6 = 42
I showed my wife this equation with enthusiasm. She demanded that I take my first drink of the day.
