You wanna know ’bout this fella, Walter Taylor, huh? Well, I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout him the other day. Seems like he’s one of them baseball fellas. I don’t know much ’bout that game, but I reckon I can tell ya what I heard.
This Walter Taylor, he’s got some numbers, they call ’em stats. Lots of numbers. More numbers than I can count on my fingers and toes, that’s for sure! They say he played a whole bunch of games. Five hundred and one, I heard. That’s a lot of runnin’ around, if you ask me. He must be tired!
They was sayin’ somethin’ ’bout a batting average. Sounds like somethin’ you’d do to a rug, but I guess it’s different in baseball. His was .260, whatever that means. And somethin’ ’bout home runs. He only got one of them. One! Maybe he weren’t very good at hittin’ that ball far, I don’t know. He also had 156 of these RBI things. Sounds important, I guess.
- .260 batting average
- 1 home run
- 156 RBI
- 501 games
He played for some teams, this Walter. Somethin’ called the Cleveland Naps, then the Cleveland Indians, and the Boston Red Sox. Sounds like a bunch of colors and, well, I don’t know what a Nap is doin’ on a baseball team. Must be a sleepy bunch! Maybe that’s why he only got one home run, too busy nappin’!
There was this other fella, name of Walter Clancy. He played second base, I think. They got all these positions with funny names. Don’t make much sense to me. They was comparin’ his numbers to this Taylor fella. Seems like everyone’s got these stats things. It’s all very confusin’.
I also heard somethin’ ’bout a house. 2521 Walter Way. In a place called Stockbridge, Georgia. Don’t know where that is. Must be far away. They said it had three beds. Sounds like a good place to take a nap, if you ask me. They also talked about it having 3 baths, 2 somethings. I don’t know what those 2 somethings are. Just number, number, number with these people.
Someone was talkin’ ’bout a Walter Xpress. Sounded like some kinda delivery. Maybe they deliver baseballs? Or maybe naps? I don’t know. They also said it can help you get special tools in no time. I don’t need any special tools. I am good with my old ones.
And then there was somethin’ ’bout a Spiral Point Tap. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a hardware store. #10-32 Thread, UNF, 3 Flutes, Plug Chamfer, 2B Class of Fit, HSS-E-PM. I don’t know what any of that means. Just a bunch of letters and numbers. More numbers! Lordy, these people love their numbers.
Then they started talkin’ ’bout this GSTR 2B Matching Utility. Sounds like somethin’ from outer space! ITC Data, GSTR 2B/2A Data, VBA Coding Method. It’s all Greek to me! They said it works better than Excel. I don’t know what Excel is, but I reckon it must be somethin’ fancy. All these new things, hard to keep up! This is AI version. What is AI? I only know A, B, C… They should make it simple.
These young folks and their baseball and their numbers. It’s all too much for an old gal like me. I prefer a nice cup of tea and a good sit-down. But if you’re interested in this Walter Taylor and his stats, well, there you have it. All I know is what I heard. Don’t ask me to explain it, though. It’s all a muddle to me!
I reckon this Walter Taylor fella must be somethin’ special, though. To have all these numbers and things named after him. Maybe he’s famous. Or maybe he just likes to play baseball. Either way, I hope he’s happy. And I hope he gets more than one home run next time! Maybe he should eat more greens. That’s what I always say. Good for the body, good for the soul, and maybe good for hittin’ baseballs, too!
Anyway, I’m gonna go now. My stories is done, and I need a nap.
