The ERA: :
Over the past few years,
people have been quick to
argue the pros and cons of
ERA. In fact, some of these
arguments have become so
heated that some of our
United States were literally
torn with strife from the
issue, which seems to pit
men against women.
mis is wnai 1 can i understand.
Why is this such a
burning issue? I can't
believe there are people who
think this is so important
that it should be included on

It's simple. You just take the
total number of innings
pitched and divide it into the

Washington, D.C. How does e
ERA apply to the residents
of that area? There are only
26 major league baseball
teams (although there are
little league and minorleague
ball games to contend
with.) If everyone's so
concerned with all that, why g
don't they just go the ^
commissioner of baseball
and ask him to explain the
ERA system? He knows it .
better than anyone. _
