OUTLIERSa result, a child can be a bit behind physically in thosesports and still play as much as his or her more maturepeers."" But baseball does. The cutoff date for almost allnonschool baseball leagues in the United States is July 31,with the result that more major league players are born inAugust than in any other month. (The numbers are striking:in 2005, among Americans playing major league baseball505 were born in August versus 313 born in July.)European soccer, similarly, is organized like hockeyand baseball—and the birth-date distributions in thatsport are heavily skewed as well. In England, the eligibilitydate is September 1, and in the football association'spremier league at one point in the 1990s, there were 288players born between September and November and only136 players born between June and August. In internationalsoccer, the cutoff date used to be August 1, andin one recent junior world championship tournament,135 players were born in the three months after August1, and just 22 were born in May, June, and July. Todaythe cutoff date for international junior soccer is January1. Take a look at the roster of the 2007 CzechoslovakianNational Junior soccer team, which made the JuniorWorld Cup finals.Here we go again:* A physically immature basketball player in an American city canprobably play as many hours of basketball in a given year as a relativelyolder child because there are so many basketball courts and somany people willing to play. It's not like ice hockey, where you need arink. Basketball is saved by its accessibility and ubiquity.26

But these exact same biases also show up in27
