As the days dwindle down to a precious few, here’s an attempt at a major catch-up:
I met Rob Fitts at the SABR convention in Washington, DC, last year. His specialty is Japanese baseball. Here’s his site on baseball cards. The NY Times‘ Alan Schwarz covered the convention’s always-entertaining trivia contest.- You know the theoretical question, “If you could (pick activity) with one person, who would it be?” For Joe Posnanski, it was Bill James.
- An old piece from the New York Observer on how the Times, they are a-changin’.
- A review of Gary Morgenstern’s novel, Take Me Out to the Ballgame.
- I participated in an on-line “book club” discussion of The Glory of Their Times.
- From the science-fiction sight, Tor, this speculative piece on Babe Ruth in retirement.
Former Major League pitcher and new author Dave Baldwin gets inside a batter’s head (figuratively) in this piece for The Baseball Analysts.- Buzz Bissinger followed the St. Louis Cardinals for Three Days in August a couple of years ago. This time SI‘s Joe Posnanski covers Cards’ pitching coach Dave Duncan in this 2009 profile.
