Because you can put a tiny stadium on your Bookshelf

June 22, 2010

if not a tiny scoreboard.

Mental Floss, a bright and funny publication in which a couple of my articles have appeared (and one day again, I hope. Hint, hint, Mental Floss; I have no shame) published this brief history on the evolution of the scoreboard.

The piece also links to some other cool baseball items, including “What’s in a Nickname? The Stories Behind All 30 MLB Team Names” and “19 Weird Clauses in Baseball Contracts.”
