What is this?

Origin report+

A dugout cone became a fan ritual. This is the unofficial traffic desk for the orange-plastic era.

Baseball data, municipal seriousness, and exactly zero MLB endorsement.

How the index works

Deeply unofficial. Slightly strict.

The Cone Index weighs game result, score margin, run production, homers, steals, pitching, streak, and residual congestion.
