Not to get political here, but judging by what’s been coming down the Internet, there’s a lot of connection between presidents and baseball. For example, The Hall of Very Good published this piece on “The Bond Between Baseball and the Presidency.” In addition, Nate Silver, of FiveThirtyEight fame, still gets kudos for his baseball work, […]

Tim McCarver appeared on The Leaonard Lopate Show on Friday to promote his new book, Tim McCarver’s Diamond Gems. (Great, another book of anecdotes.) For some reason, the segment was not made available when the others from the day’s show were. I wondered if it had more to do some diabolical desire on the part […]
