So, the wedding announcements of The New York Times. Call them what you will --"matrimonial moneyball," "sports pages for women," a social strain of a "mergers and acquisitions" report -- because their official name is misleading: Those little paragraphs offer much more than simple announcements of weddings. They offer, in the aggregate, documentation of a changing society. ( ... ... )

Every Sunday, the New York Times publishes the wedding announcements of the most promising, wealthy, talented -- and only very occasionally inbred -- couples in the whole wide world. (Oddly enough, two-thirds of them hail from within a 30-mile radius of Manhattan.)  If life is a contest, these people are already winning. But by how much, and in what order? This monthly series will attempt with sabermetric-type rigor, to answer that question using the proprietary NUPTIALS scoring system outlined below. Think of it as matrimonial Moneyball.

( ... ... ) To appear in the section you must submit your names and a detailed dossier of you life and times. Clearly those who send in their package are well aware of what they ought to play up to boost their chances of making it into newsprint. ( ... ... )

This renewed series will attempt, through a rigorous quantitative method detailed below, to determine the following:

Which couple best exemplifies bothe the unique spirit and impossible standards of everything the New York Times "Weddings/Celebration" section stands for?

Back in the day I used a scoring-system metric originally devised by Alexis Swerdloff, but I felt it needed a more modern update.

^Grantland^ expands on Simmons's signature use of popular culture to illuminate sport by employing sports vernacular and metrics to explain pop culture. In a column on his beloved ^The Breaks of the Game^, Simmons laments art's inability to be organized according to the satisfying tidy and mostly quantitative criteria used to make sense of sport.  ( ... ... ) ^Grantland^, however, routinely--and lightheartedly--filters cultrue through sports-specific analytic frameworks. Chuck Klosterman's "Rock VORP" adopts the arcane baseball statistic Value over Replacement Player, which measures individual players' value by comparing them to a fictional player at the same position with average statistics, to determine which popular rock has the greatest overall talent.

Katie Baker's "Matrimonial Moneyball" creates a comparable statistical model to rank the pedigree of the high-society couples featured in the Sunday New York Times's wedding announcements. Along these lines, ^Grantland^ uses the structure of the NCAA basketball tournament bracket to judge, for instance, the best character on HBO's The Wire or the funniest Chappelle's Show sketch.

출처 4: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=moneyball

Moneyball is a term describing baseball operations in which a team endeavors to analyze the market for baseball players and buy what is undervalued and sell what is overvalued. Unlike a common misconception, it is not about OBP, but whatever is undervalued at that time. It is most commonly used to refer to the strategy used by the front office of the Oakland Athletics. It derives its name from a Michael Lewis book of the same name.
