Jo Adell. That is all I can even say right now.

This is delightful. But based on the chug -- and having a 21-year-old daughter myself -- I'm just going to say that might not have been Sorcha's first sip.

OK, I'm now utterly obsessed with this umpire, S.M. Decker. Look at how he's listed in this box score in the Chicago Tribune that same year.

Ran across this quote while working on my next next book SEASONS: “Decker ought to write a book on what he knows about umpiring — it would only take him a second — and then go and jump into the lake.” That’s from 1883.

I just found out there’s a women’s tennis player named Katie Volynets, and while I feel like I am late to this knowledge, it has forever changed my life, and I will be rooting for her to win every tournament from now on.

Working pretty much 24 hours a day on my next book, SEASONS, about the greatest individual seasons in baseball history, and that means lots and lots of baseball research, and I think my biggest takeaway is that we should start calling outfielders "gardeners" again.

ABS is Here, Whether We Like it or Not Batters, catchers and even pitchers got in on the action with mixed results.

We made it through the first weekend of ABS and some teams fared better than others. What did you think about it?

Has any shot made more people happy in America at one time as Braylon Mullins’? I think you have to go back to Eruzione.

Will ABS work as natural selection for bad umpires? I’m seriously wondering.
