I actually remember an article predicting Francoeur would win the 2008 MVP.
The joke's on Francoeur. Some parks DO list OBP on their scoreboard. Also, an increasing number of TV broadcasts do the same. Even the WWL is making an effort to incorporate, to use its term, "next level" statistics.
What's funny is that Turner Field apparently does list OBP on the scoreboard.
As was pointed out at Shyster Ball, Turner Field does, in fact, include OBP on their scoreboard. . .
GET OUT OF MY HEAD, ROOK!
