OK, this is pretty fantastic.
Mark Simon (@msimonespn) is a research specialist for ESPN and helps run the excellent Stats & Info blog. He also possesses a special talent. Simon can recite (and sometimes act out) the last out of each World Series dating all the way back to 1954. Want proof? Set aside a few minutes to watch this video:

If you don’t come away from this both impressed and smiling, I’m not sure what to tell you. Well done, Mark.
