Do you think baseball teaches our youngsters bad math? Each third of an inning is considered 0.1 innings until the last third is pitched (e.g., if a pitcher pitches 2 2/3 innings, on the stats sheet, he/she pitches 2.2 innings).
Obviously with some of the statistics, it helps with mathematical abilities, but this is a significant erroneous statistic. Also, most baseball stat experts use pure rote memorization for these numbers.
