A father and son tandem shares their love of the wackiness of sports by sharing the wild stories, bizarre numbers and oddities of sports. Ever since I can remember I’ve been fascinated by numbers, especially those generated in the world of sports.  I used to spend hours reading the back of baseball cards, digesting the numbers and searching for oddities. When Parker and I started watching sports together I realized how often both of us would pick out the weird numbers and stories of the games we were watching and how much he was like me.  Parker can find any crazy sports stat or story I’ve heard of and many that I haven’t and he enjoys them as much as me. We we thought “Why not a podcast to share this crazy obsession with others?”  We can’t be the only ones right? So we’ve set out on a journey to share some of the stories we’ve come across.  Some you’ll be familiar with… and if we do this right, some you’ve never heard of.   And here’s the best part - we want you to not only download, listen and share, but help us find the stats and stories that make sports what it is - reach out via social media or email us crazystupidsportsstats@gmail.com. The first episode will be up soon, so subscribe and soon we’ll be off on this journey together.
