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 […]
