In the battle for March, another fine Yankees article in the Times today, but also one about soccer. Regarding one Jack Cork, the only Premier League midfielder to have played every minute of every game so far this year.
In the course of this, Cork has apparently run or walked all of 227.4 miles, or more than 7 miles per game. It is an accomplishment so immense that, as the Times subhead notes, "It Challenges The Mind."
Except it doesn't.
Those 30 games Cork put in took place over about six months. Which means a little over a mile a day, something that about half of this city routinely runs and walks, even in just getting to one place or another. Throw in practices, friendlies, and other games...and we're still talking the average workout for maybe a million or two New Yorkers.
I know, I know. They're not playing Premier League soccer. Just dodging murderous traffic, street lunatics, potholes, and falling trees in the parks.
For the year: Soccer 48, Yankees 38. For March, Yanks 23, Soccer 21.
Nice post. In fact, I like your stuff a lot. Just haven't said it til now.
