A big thanks to Craig Calcaterra over at HardballTalk for having a story about the analysis of “Rockets on the Mound.” It’s brought a ton of readers to that post, which makes me quite happy, as it is a fun little look at a little-looked at part of baseball’s cultural history. (A very little-looked at part, but still a part).

So I’m going to return the favor: go to HardballTalk. It’s one of the best baseball blogs online, and is usually one of the first places I go to when I’m looking for baseball news, whether it be the usual or the eclectic (like, uhm, 1950s science fiction stories about baseball).
