Things I Hate About TV: If you change leagues, your stats go to zero

by Joel Keller, posted Aug 12th 2006 7:43PM

Bobby AbreuBobby Abreu (right) is batting for the Yankees, less than two weeks after his July 31 trade from the Phillies. You vaguely know his stats, but are curious to see how they've changed since the trade. So you look up while watching the game and see on the TV screen that Abreu is hitting .378 with one home run and five RBIs.

Whaaa? What happened to all the homers and RBIs he had with the Phillies?

Well, they're still there. But, because Abreu went from the National League to the American League, the channel that you're watching has decided that the stats he compiled in "the other league" don't apply anymore, and just showed his stats since the switch. It's something they've been doing since baseball's been on television, when the two leagues were distinct and the players from each never played each other outside the World Series and the All-Star Game.

But it doesn't make any sense anymore.
