Tufts loses to Stanford in Baseball (Sabermetrics)

For analytical sports lovers, this contest looks like fun…

Teams from Tufts came in second and third to Stanford in a nationwide baseball analytics competition (which is much better than the Boston Red Sox are doing this year)

Tufts might have done even better if the Boston Red Sox had provided a judge (like the San Francisco Giants did) or if the Red Sox hadn’t grabbed Pablo Sandoval from the Giants in free agency… :slight_smile:

Apparently some contestants from previous years have found employment with major league clubs.
