"We have some obvious apps, like BG (duh), securities investing, and particle physics."

I would think Baseball would sell your story best: 1) It's a major sport. 2) They've been number crunching and adjusting play and personnel for decades based on the results. 3) There is still a wide range of acceptance and implementation of the statistical results across managers.

Obvious examples are: 1) The high cost of sacrifice bunts (generally a loser: TB Rays manager pretty much hated them, which is correct). 2) 75% break even point for steals: anything less than 75% expected? Then don't steal. 3) The importance of OBP vs. BP, especially at the top of the order.
