Useful Statistics

Saw this on Snopes and I laughed out loud.

I'm not one for omens, but every time the Red Sox have won a World Series in the year of a Presidential Election, the incumbent has been defeated.

Don't believe me? Check out this list:

Year Red Sox won World Series:  1912
President:  William H Taft
Was the President Re-elected? :  No


I think the figures speak for themselves...

If this pans out, I won't feel so bad about the Sox winning.    :)
