Baseballs popularity relative to other sports peaked in 1950 and over the following two decades, the Yankees won 7 World Series and appeared in 12. And by 1972 the percentage of sports fans who had baseball as their favorite sport had halved.

Hello, this is from MIT's online course resources for their quantum theory 1 graduate class. For reference I majored in math and physics in undergrad but haven't done any physics computations since then.
Really I just don't understand what is going on in this section
I'm actually not understanding a lot of what is going on here. So I went through latex and tried to, in detail, write out what my best guess is.

I put this together by hand so there may be some mistakes. If someone was pre-arb I just listed them as making the major league minimum (Houck is making $716,000 for example).

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind for me these past couple of months so I haven’t been able to prepare for the fall semester as much as I would like. One thing I was hoping to see if anybody else accepted into the fall cohort had setup a group chat/discord/WhatsApp/cans with strings attached or anything like that?

I’m a Math & Physics major, and all throughout my undergrad I wanted to become a teacher. Recently I’ve switched and decided to apply to bridge programs for a MS in CS.
The thing is I’m purely financially motivated in doing this. I kind of have enjoyed the very limited programming experience I’ve had but the reality is that I’m doing this because I want to start a family with my girlfriend soon and CS is more lucrative than teaching.
Should I say this in my Statement of Purpose? Is there a way that I can package this to make it more appealing to grad schools? Am I overthinking it?
Any advice on the SOP or from people who have gone a similar trajectory (not CS undergrad -> CS grad)

Just realized this hasn’t been posted yet. Nasty Nate was as nasty as you could hope for against a killer lefty-heavy Rays lineup.

Corbin Burnes has the second best ERA among qualifiers despite a .308 BABIP. You need to go down to #11 (Cole, 3.02 ERA, .302 BABIP) to find anyone close and all the way to #25 (Eovaldi, 3.88 ERA, .325 BABIP) to find anyone with a higher batting average on balls in play.
