Daniel Seidel’s Weblog

The 4000 hit club has a very elite group of members, their names are Ty Cobb and !@#$ &#^@ (The latter has had his name removed from his record).  BUT soon and very soon my friends one more will graduate into their ranks, and he goes by the name Me.  At least to me he is known as Me, to you he is Daniel.  And Daniel has managed this while hitting a career .243 (estimated).

“How is this possible” you are currently asking.  “Has Daniel just played in more seasons than Ty and !@#$.”

No that would be ridiculous, to have done it that way Daniel had to already be playing while inside Mother Ruth’s womb.

“Is he on roids?!” you gasped.

Well yes and no.  Daniel is not on roids, but Daniel most definitely is.  No, the real secret to Daniel’s miracle run is this little blog here.  You see Daniel managed to sneak a little ticker onto Daniel’s page to count the number of people reading Daniel’s blog.  Thus as you come, Daniel’s stats keep looking better and better.

“But Daniel hasn’t even written on his blog in a while.”  you remarked rudely

Yes but for you, the allure of Daniel’s blog was simply irrisistible.  You had to return at regular intervals whether or not he was writing.   Interestingly enough, just as you needed Daniel, Daniel needed you in order to boost him all the way into the hall of fame.

“The Hall of Fame seems unlikely” you remark, full of jealousy.

There are good numbers to back up your jealous doubts.  2 career home runs.  7 caught stealing (estimated).  22 errors (estimated).  But regardless of these numbers Daniel reminds you of the all important number: 100.  You see 100% of the people with 4000 hits have made it into the Hall, and Daniel is now poised to continue that legacy.  You doubted him, but in the end you really fueled him to make this unbelievable run and so Daniel is here to say thank you.  Thank you for helping Daniel to 4000 hits, even without writing over the last couple weeks.  Daniel is short termedly indebted to you.
