Don't look now...

This is by Dave V. from the Posnanski site:

Here’s what the league leaders in OBP% have done in the 2000s (regular season winning % in parentheses)
2009: Yankees (.636% – won World Series)
2008: Red Sox (.586% – lost in ALCS)
2007: Yankees (.580% – lost in ALDS)
2006: Yankees (.599% – lost in ALDS)
2005: Red Sox (.586% – lost in ALDS)
2004: Red Sox (.605% – won World Series)
2003: Red Sox (.586% – lost in ALCS)
2002: Yankees (.640% – lost in ALDS)
2001: Mariners (.716% – lost in ALCS)
2000: Indians (.556% – no playoffs)
<b>So 9 of 10 teams made the playoffs</b> and the one that didn’t (2000 Indians) won 90 games.
Two of the MLB OBP% leaders won the World Series and there also was the MLB regular season wins record-holder in the 2001 Seattle team represented in this group.

I will also mention that the Cubs usually finish in the bottom 10 in MLB OBP. The one year they didn't was the 97-win season.

One could say that there is a connection between OBP and winning baseball games, but I don't want to go out on a limb.
