In real life Baseball History look at some of the World's Greatest Baseball Players of ALL TIME!
LOOK AT THEIR On-Base Percentages (OBP)?
- Barry Bonds
- Ted Williams
- Babe Ruth
So, the theory was that by focusing on drafting certain far more affordable players - not even the best players, but players that were extremely undervalued due to age, appearance, personality, quirkiness, lack of popularity, or even those who were not even close to being the best defensive players in their position, the STATISTICAL ANALYSIS DISCOVERED AN AMAZING TRUTH!
HIRE THE BEST PLAYERS WHO RANKED THE HIGHEST IN ONE CATEGORY!
HIRE THE ONES WHO GOT ON BASE THE MOST OFTEN!
In the auto industry ON BASE PERCENTAGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS "BUTT'S ON BASES!"
There were 2 sets of conclusions created by the statistical analysis.
As automotive professionals, let's focus on just one for right now. We can discuss the second feature later?

BASED UPON A TRUE STORY...
Do you remember this movie from 2011 with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill?
"MONEYBALL"
Jonah Hill's Character was an economics and math guru who basically brought something to Brad Pitt's character, General Manager Billy Beane's attention. IT WAS A MATHEMATICALLY BASED STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON HOW TO FIELD A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM FOR ABOUT A 1/5th OF THE BUDGET AVAILABLE TO THE NY YANKEES.
They were limited on budget. They could not possibly field a World Series Championship class team like the NY Yankees.
ISN'T "BUTTS ON BASES" THE SAME EXACT THING AS "BUTT'S IN 8-WAY ADJUSTABLE SEATS" THAT ARE SITTING IN YOUR CURRENT INVENTORY?
It was a movie based upon a true story about a struggling Baseball Team, The Oakland Athletics.
