Winning on the Road

Dr. Wood spoke in Wednesday morning's session, and referenced a habit that he has. He cuts the baseball standings out of the newspaper the day that the regular season is over. Both AL and NL teams are listed in the order they finished in their respective divisions. He noted that he has a working theory on who will win the Series, and almost every year he's picks correctly. The answer is the team that has the best winning percentage while on the road. Many teams with great records at home can't seem to win on the road, but it's winning on the road that makes the difference.

Then he reminded us that we have citizenship in heaven. So all of life is an away game. We better win away.
