Totally random thought, nothing to do with baseball (there is a billboard in the OF that got me thinking of it)…

Why is the term “24-7-365” instead of “24-7-52”?

Because 52x7=364, not 365. 365 days a year is a thing. 52 weeks a year is not a thing.

But then there's leap years.

But then the idiom breaks it’s own pattern.

besides, the 365 already ignores leap year, so it is already wrong.




FYI, there are reddit subs based on this issue. LOL

When I worked at GE, we got paid weekly. One's annual salary was divided by 52.166869, and that was one's weekly salary. That accounted for leap years, and for leap years when it wasn't a leap year.

Great.

so the idiom should be 24 7 52.166869

Done.

Giants now 13th in MLB in OPS (.693). Not bad with Longoria and Wade out.

And, oh yeah, 2nd in ERA, 2.34.

Yeah, you could turn it into a jingle, like a phone number.
