I am talking about Luck ASSUMING everyone turns up. You cannot bet on a game saying this team isnt gonna turn up.

When one teams doesnt turn up, luck becomes a little bit less of a factor, but it is still massive.

Sometimes the bases are loaded and the pitcher is up to bat, sometimes the bases are loaded and Pujols is up.

In basketball, if u need a bucket, u give it to Kobe, if he get double or triple teamed, he passes it up and gives it to someone to make the shot in a much much easier position.

In baseball, whoever is up, is up. You can pinch hit, but u arent gonna bring a pinch hitter in the 1st 6 innings of the game, by then the game mught be gone

Baseball would not be as big a sport as it is if there was that much luck involved. Plain and simple - too much $$$ involved.

Billy Rogers comes to the Eels in 2011 from Melbourne and has already made a strong impression as a hard worker.

Billy likes to play golf in his spare time and has started an electrician apprenticeship. He was part of the Storm's 2009 Toyota Cup team that won the Premiership.
