maven Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 C'mon guys: "third world" is so 1958—countries not either in NATO (First World) or Warsaw Pact (Second World). "Developing country plays" has no mojo. I can't recommend it. So maybe we need a new term: how about "infinitesimals?" As in, the probability of their happening is...you know...infinitesimal. Maybe that's not catchy enough. "[Near] zero probability plays," or ZIPS? That will offend only Akron U. alumni. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ousafe Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I've always thought it referred to the relative development level of the baseball players involved. Like a crazy play you might see at a young rec league game, but never in an MLB game, because a pro would never do whatever crazy thing that happened.
