During the 162-game baseball season, the outfielder Felipe saved an average of $32 per game. He kept the money in a sock in his locker.
a) At the end of the season he took his money to the bank. How much had he saved by the end of the season?
b) HE plans to leave all the money in his savings account until the end of next season. At a simple interest rate of 4.68% per year, how much will he have at the end of next season?
My mother loves baseball. She one of those old ladies that sit up in the cheap seats, with her binoculars and stubby pencil keeping the box scores. She tells me that after decades of study that baseball is the most mathematical of all professional sports. Much more mathematical than handicapping the horses.
Now for my baseball question.
Say Felipe had a batting average of 306 and he started 136 games last season and Felipe got beaned by a journeyman pitcher last season, and hit him with a bat--25 game suspension.
So, if that local trollop and baseball groupie, paid Felipe with dinner and sex for each time he got to base last season, how many nights alone on the team bus, did Felipe get as the result of a rash action resulting from a wild pitch?
