Re A-Rod's postseason stats
"At what point do you have a big enough sample of A-Rod's post season accomplishments to say that it is statistically significant? Is he the "cooler" (as Texas teammates called him) or a choker or what?"
Look up the 2000 ALCS and the 2004 ALDS. Twice he put a team on his back in a post season series. He nearly singlehandedly moved the M's to the 2000 World Series and didn't exactly choke against the Twins.
90% of the time people who talk about chokers or clutch players are exhibiting selective memory.
