Do the undecided break strongly for the Challenger?

[Monty]

that axiom is just a stupid as the baseball tradition that says sacrifice bunts are a good thing.

At least there's SOME data to back up the "break to the challenger" idea (though, you're right... "always" is a dangerous generalization).  I've never seen any evidence that sacrifice bunts are a good thing ;-)

Statistically, the best strategy in Baseball is to just send you players up and let the hit.  No sacrafice bunts, no stealling of bases, nothng..

Unless you have a young Rickey Henderson on first base
