Getty Images Fun from Chris Jaffe at The Hardball Times today: 2012’s most exciting and incredible games.
It not only highlights the games themselves, but talks a bit about what makes a game wild: close-and-late? Comebacks? No-hitters? Big swings and constant lead changes? All of that really.
Jaffe puts them on a point scale and tries to quantify the excitement. Which, yes, I admit plays into stathead stereotypes, but we’ll let it pass because Jaffe’s good at what he does.

Pushing stats into a realm where angels fear to tread. I got about 2/3 of the way through and just didn’t think it was very interesting.

I’m a little surprised neither of Chipper’s walk-offs against the Phillies this year weren’t mentioned in this article.
The 15-13 game in May would classify as a wild one and the September game was a hell of a ninth inning rally.

The best game of the season was when the Red Sox lost their 90th.
Classic stuff right there.
Go Larry Sox!
