This is exactly why i hate infinity. Infinity is hard. He literally said -there are infinitely many of these pairs, though they are rare. -
Ok, I know what he means, you can always find a larger pair, but they are few and far between. I understand that.
But it still hurts my damn head for something to be both infinite in number, and also considered rare.

For the baseball stats, how many games did each play to get the 714 (and then the 715) so who had the greater average, and is there any scorer lower than 714 that has a higher home run average per game? ( there must be quite a few who have 1 in 1 game and the probability must be ( hmm, what, that 2 in 2, 3 in 3 and so on must diminish in a difficult game situation.

How to find next pair?
1) generate the sequence of logarithms of primes
2) sum them to two (almost) equal sums - that is the funny task to optimize!
Example:
1) sequence: 0. 301, 0. 477, 0. 699, 0. 845, 1. 041, 1. 114, 1. 230
2) sums: 0. 301+0. 477+0. 845+1. 23=2. 853
and. 699+1. 041+1. 114=2. 854

Wait won't there always be and infinite amount of examples. This is what I think. If there are an infinite amount of primes(which there are) you can just do 2-3-5-7-11-13-17. all the way up forever. Hence you could just take one away and you now have an infinite amount of these numbers. Same with the adding method

Look at the ball with uv light. You will see the signatures. Most likely the ball was signed with the Flair felt tip pen that was popular in the mid 1970's. The older pens left a trace of ink that was visible under a UV flashlight.

One of the reasons I admire Numberphile videos started from a wonderful article about Paul Erdos in The Atlantic magazine sometimes during the 1990's. I love baseball and softball, so this was a really great video. Thanks - so much!

As a lifelong Orioles' fan, and a Marylander for most of my life, much kudos do I give you for the Cal Ripken Jr. baseball card images scene in the montage at the beginning of this video!

The best summary of baseball I've ever heard. It's a fairly boring, slow moving game filled with numbers. If I was a mathematician maybe there would be at least one reason to enjoy it.

I am a huge math nerd, but yeah as soon as I saw the thumbnail I immediately knew it was about Aaron and Ruth. And yeah even most non baseball fans in America know that story.
