Rany Jazayerli
Edit ProfileCareer
He developed the statistical concept of Pitcher Abuse Points (PAP), which relates to high pitch counts in baseball. Jazayerli is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and the University of Michigan School of Medicine. He is a board-certified dermatologist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Jazayerli wrote a “Plea for Tolerance” on Entertainment and Sports Programming Network.com’s “Page 2”.
In his plea, Jazayerli observed: “I have been a baseball writer for over six years, and hardly a day goes by that I don"t count my blessings for the opportunity to write about the most uniquely American pastime. But today I can"t afford to think about our Great American Game, because I"m too busy thinking about what it means to be an American.
I am an Arab-American. And right now I am scared to death that in a country I have loved all my life — in the only country I have ever called my own — I am no longer truly free.
I feel imprisoned by the hatred of others, those blind to the difference between a sick, demented terrorist and a peace-loving American.
