Did the pitcher have:
A lot more wins in year 1?
A few more wins in year 1?
The same number of wins both years?
A few more wins in year 2?
A lot more wins in year 2?
Explain your answer.

I'd say he won a lot more in year 2 - like 10 more wins maybe. My explanation: I looked it up.
Yes, Morris is borderline at best, but you can use statistics to prove just about anything. Just ask my kids why it's statistically in my best interest to pay 25 grand a year for each of them to go to the University of Michigan vs. a college that costs less than half that.
