    Baseball writer Roger Angell died this past Friday at the age of 101. Though calling Angell a “baseball writer” is a little bit like calling the London Philharmonic a “band,” that’s what he was, the most famous baseball writer on … Continue reading →

    LeMahieu-Judge-Rizzo-Stanton-Torres. Seriously, that’s like Murderer’s Row on ster- let’s just say it’s a really good start to a lineup. When that group goes one-for-eighteen and the only two other hits you get are from your eight and nine hitters… probably … Continue reading →

    Tomorrow would be my dad’s 80th birthday. Funny how as you yourself age the number thought of as “old” increases as well. I used to think 80 was ancient; now it’s closer to eh, my dad would only be 80. As I’ve … Continue reading →

    Sunday night was the concluding episode of Winning Time, HBO’s series on the 1980s Lakers. Apparently there will be a Season Two, so let me instead say concluding episode of Season One. (Until today I’d had no idea there would be more … Continue reading →

    Friday on Math and Musings I made a cryptic reference to “other things” I had going on this weekend besides the Kentucky Derby and Mother’s Day. I didn’t want to say too much in case it was a flop, but having … Continue reading →
