Every year since I was a little shaver, I looked forward to the period from February to April when the annual baseball magazines would come out.

A reminder: The Amazon rankings are updated every hour, so these lists might not be 100 percent accurate by the time you read them (or even by the time I finish posting them). But close enough for government work, as the saying goes. (See my piece on “Why Amazon’s search engine sucks.”) In addition, occasionally […]

Because of MLB’s recent labor problems , I really didn’t expect to see the regular baseball annuals come out at the usual time — late January, early February. I was at my local CVS and while waiting for prescriptions, I found the new Lindy’s 2022 Preview issue. The website said these were available Feb. 23 […]

My copy of Lindy’s Sports Baseball 2023 Preview arrived in the mail yesterday. This is what it has come to. I couldn’t find it at any of my usual outlets: CVS, the local newsstand, or even Barnes and Noble, so I had to order it online. It may be the last such publication I buy. […]
