Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 3086125, member: 2500"] Just for accuracy's sake and because I live for this kind of thing, if you go with a 40 man roster and only include MLB teams, your number is 0.00000015936 or 0.000015936%. Which means the average person has a 60% greater chance of being killed by a shark, than becoming an MLBer. If you add in MLB minor leaguers at an average of 120 per system, then you're at 0.000063745%, or just slightly lower than the odds of being killed by a meteorite. And if you estimate the number of worldwide players in professional leagues, then you're at something around 0.000157143%, which means you're 4.5x more likely to get hit by lightning. [/QUOTE]
