What do Google Analytics and Mark McGwire have in common? Yeah, I know it’s a question only a nerd would know or even want an answer to.

So, why am I even pondering such a question. Well, I was reading Google Analytics 2.0 and I came across this short paragraph about Mark McGwire that really caught my attention in light of the recent allegations from his brother about his steroid usage.

Here’s what I read:

…Comparing what a good analytics package does to what a good site-stats package does is like having Mark McGwire bat right before the Little Leagues’s MVP. One could be kind and say it’s a Major League to Little League comparison, or like putting a man next to a boy, but the truth is that analytics are like site stats on steroids.

This quote was in reference to AWStats and Google Analytics. Obviously Google Analytics is Mark McGwire in this analogy and the author is getting his little jab in on his thoughts on Mark McGwire’s steroid usage.

Anyways, if you’re a nerd like me then I just thought you’d find this humorous as well.
