♦ Another Yardbarker piece includes Cliff Murdoch Rookie of the Year), Teddy Cullinane (Bull Durham), “Radio Sportscaster” (an unnamed character in A League of Their Own), Max Mercy (The Natural), Ranch Wilder (the remake of Angels in the Outfield), Sam Malone (Cheers), Jim Brockmire (Brockmire), and Harry Doyle (Major League) among “The 25 most memorable fictional sports media figures.”
♦ A Forbes piece on Shohei Ohtani’s new contract which was mentioned in this piece from the BBC. As stated previously, I love when baseball pops up in unusual places.
♦ From the Internet Baseball Writers Association of America, this list of “5 Baseball Books To Get Your Loved Ones This Holiday Season.”
