25 on "25 (and under)"
"May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young."
Bob Dylan
Some baseball statistics are designed to enlighten, others are used to support or refute an argument. But sometimes, statistics are simply presented for the sheer enjoyment, In this case, I hope you will find all three uses.
