With the news that Alex Rodriguez's 211-game suspension was reduced to 162 games by Fredric Horowitz, the independent arbitrator on MLB's three-person review panel, we are forced to once again ask where these numbers come from.

Report: A-Rod Suspended 162 Games, Will Continue Fight In Federal Court
Alex Rodriguez has been suspended 162 games and it comes as little surprise to anyone, including A-Rod.

The Christmas List: Because Not Everything About Running Has To Suck
So I broke the streak last week and if there's one thing I've learned about myself it's that given the slightest excuse not to run, I will take it. Since breaking the streak I think I've run once.
