David L.Re: The definite article is seemingly indefinite...
"But the fact remains, Kristjansen is unbeaten in 10 outings and three years."


"But the fact remains, Kristjansen is unbeaten in the 10 outings and three years since the lone setback to Zoff."

You're sharp!

I would have written:
"But the fact remains, Kristjansen is unbeaten in the 10 outings and three years since that lone setback to Zoff."

Without "the" before "10 outings" , the sentence becomes worng? Please.
