Aaron,
Shouldn't baseball have a conversion rate that is 80% higher than that of
basketball? (Nine players per team vs. the five for basketball)
How do you explain the fact that this is not the case? In fact, that the
opposite is true--the conversion rate for basketball is currently much
greater than that for baseball.
