Fun article. The Hashem hypothesis is provable, or at least disprovable. Examine the performance of the same players and teams on tisha b'av, which conveniently falls in the heart of the baseball season, and which few if any Jewish baseball players are likely to be aware of. If the Jewish players or their teams consistently do worse on days when they commit transgressions known only to Hashem . . .
