Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

So apparently out of ALL the MLB teams, the Atlanta Braves have the least amount of players/coaches that went to, let alone graduated from a U.S. four-year college or university.

But between the correlation between education and winning in baseball? The Oakland A's (surprise), whom have the largest amount of educated staff, followed by the Arizona Diamondbacks and Washington Nationals, are all the bottoms of their respective divisions. Inversely, the LA Dodgers and Texas Rangers are the least educated in their divisions, but are on top of them, in the more important W-L category.

I think this is more of an organizational draft philosophy (aka, high schoolers) than anything else. But I agree it is pretty interesting.

Totally

In the grander scheme of things, baseball is ultimately a crapshoot. Oakland was a powerhouse back in 01-03 with their underutilized veterans, as well as college players, just as in the 90s with the Braves and their mostly farm-raised HS/JuCo players owned the National League. Either players work, or they don’t, regardless of their educational background.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

This is evidenced by Chuck James only being able to work at Lowes.
