Here are some things from the past week that could make for some good reading if you have time:
First off, a long read on Tom Emanski and his baseball videos (and the endless commercials that stemmed from them) from Erik Malinowski.
The ever-great Joe Posnanski on Glen Perkins and his appearance in the All-Star Game.
An excellently written but extremely distubring story by Greg Hanlon on Mel Hall, professional ballplayer and pedophilic sexual predator. Needless to say… it’s not a happy story. Like… at all.
The Midseason GIF Awards.
And, of course, my look at Mr. Go.
The Baseball Continuum 
I read the Mel Hall article. Deeply disturbing, particularly the part about the teenage girl whose family he lived with during his Yankee days. As a father of two girls, I can’t imagine putting one of my daughters into that kind of situation. But the most disturbing thing is that Hall was allowed to get away with it for so long.
