#16 Keeping Stats

If you put a random sequence of numbers in front of Nait Rey it can be guaranteed that they will not be random for much longer. Nait will take those numbers and plug them into an excel spread sheet so quickly that you would think that it was his job. It is not. He is a humble delivery man who doesn't want to embarrass other statisticians at the local accounting firm.

Be it writing down random notes during a bubble hockey game and creating a website devoted to those stats or knowing that Ben Fransico went 8-15 with a .684 slugging percentage in Buffalo Bisons games last year that he attended Nait will always have some numbers ready for you.

So if you ever see Nait holding a pencil with a broken tip tell him you know a place around the corner that sells pencil sharpeners. He will be grateful, well at least 98% of the time.
