By the numbers: Todd and Phil's excellent season

If it isn't the greatest men's campaign ever, it's in the top three
By Jon Ackerman

With international title No. 9 on Sunday in Finland, Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser called it a season. If it isn't the greatest men's campaign ever, it's in the top three. The final numbers:

9: FIVB World Tour events won, a record

12: FIVB World Tour events played, a career high for both

4: FIVB Grand Slams won out of six played

14: Total titles won, including five AVP tournaments

1: Number of titles they could've added if the AVP Fort Lauderdale men's final didn't get rained out

9: Different countries in which they won their 14 titles this season

2: Men's teams to have won an Olympic gold medal, FIVB world title and FIVB World Tour championship; Todd and Phil won the 2008 Olympics, 2007 Worlds and FIVB Tour title this year

23: Consecutive matches won to end the season

43: Consecutive matches won to end the season if you add AVP matches and throw out a meaningless July 30 forfeit (it was the third match of group play and they were guaranteed to win the group regardless of the outcome)

109: Total matches won in 2010 -- 75-11 on FIVB, 34-0 on AVP

14: Consecutive FIVB semifinal appearances including two to end 2009; they were the only team to reach the final four in each of their FIVB appearances this year

$387,700: Total FIVB team winnings this year, another record ($193,850 each)

$507,200: Overall team winnings this year ($253,600 each)

$100,000: Earnings they could have won if the last five AVP tournaments weren't canceled (though playing in all five would've forced them to miss at least one FIVB event)

14: Consecutive weeks played this season

18: Consecutive weeks they could've played if the AVP season wasn't cut short

41-39: Score by which they lost the first set of their semifinal in Stare Jablonki, the highest-scoring men's game in history

17-4: Career record in FIVB World Tour gold-medal matches

2nd: Place all-time in international team titles

59: Overall titles since forming partnership in 2006, third all-time

$2,314,690: Career earnings as a team, second all-time ($1,341,890 on AVP; $972,800 on FIVB)

101: Weeks until the 2012 Olympics

0: Men's teams that have won back-to-back Olympic gold medals

38: Age of Todd Rogers at the 2012 Olympics

32: Age of Phil Dalhausser at the 2012 Olympics
