BPR Leonard Mlodinow: On this edition of BP Radio, we investigate how randomness plays a role in baseball. Physicist and author Leonard Mlodinow explores the concept in his book, The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives.

When do we have one large enough to make accurate judgments, and why do we feel the need to find patterns at all? Mlodinow explains all this and more, only on Baseball Prospectus Radio!
