Pastime Post - "...all about baseball history"

I don't know why people like the homerun so much. A homerun is over as soon as it starts . . . . The triple is the most exciting play of the game. A triple is like meeting a woman who excites you, spending the evening talking and getting more excited, then taking her home. It drags on and on. You're never sure how it's going to turn out.

Certainly, towards the top of the list you would find the name Larry Lintz.

Ty Cobb: Fiery Fury

I love biographies. Not just about athletes, but about anyone that is . . . um, interesting . . . such as artists, musicians, athletes, politicians, etc. How fascinating it is that we can learn the story of someone’s entire life/existence in a single volume which we can hold in one hand . . . so much time to have passed, so many fascinating stories and lessons about life . . . all bound in a single stack of paper!
