If people honestly think everything is luck in a sport why bother watching? I certainly wouldn't.

Agreed.
Can you believe how lucky Larkin was? So lucky they voted him into the HOF.
Re: Reds vs. Cardinals Sunday 8/26
Rolen clearly lucky that Beltran didn't go for that ball harder.

So, using this logic, some players are just more lucky more often than others?

Yes that's how the game works its hitting a round ball with a round bat and 8 guys spread around over a wide space. Even the best players who make sold hard contact consistently have runs of poor and good luck.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals Sunday 8/26
Lecure was definitely luckier than Schumaker on that at-bat. I hope he is luckier than Furcal as well.
Nope. Furcal was luckier.

So no player is more talented than another...just luckier.

I never said they didn't have players without more talent, but luck is still a major factor in baseball even for those talented players.

So under this theory Joey Votto is just luckier than Miguel Cairo?
