The Orioles Spoil The Red Sox Season and Frame Dependence

I’m mostly posting this video because I love seeing the Orioles spoil the Red Sox season in one inning even though they finished the year at the bottom of the AL East.  I also love that the guy filmed his tv with a video camera.

But most of all I love how the Orioles players run on the field jubilient after the game winning hit as if they’d won the World Series even though they finished the year 69-93, the 4th worst record in baseball.

The emotional experience associated with gains and losses is frame dependent so with the $SPY up 8 here after opening up 25, it only feels like a loss.

If we had opened down 25, we’d all feel wonderful trading up 8 here.
