Steelers Hit 'Tragic Number' Tuesday, July 26th, 1983 A lot of people have heard of the magic number; the number which tells you how many games your team needs to win to clinch first place in the division. The opposite of the magic number is the elimination number or the "tragic number," which is the reverse of the magic number. It's the combination of losses and wins by the front-running team for a team to be eliminated. The Irondale Steelers have hit that number today and are therefore out of contention to make this year's playoffs. |
