The latest “Wisdom and Links” is up at Hall of Very Good. This week, I look at how Jeffrey Loria views the Stanton deal, share some links, and expose you to the Baseball Boogie.
Bizarre Baseball Culture is Returning…
Starting this week, Bizarre Baseball Culture comes back with a vengeance. Among the things we will be studying in the coming months:
- A post-Charles Schultz Peanuts story
- A public domain bio-comic on Stan Musial
- A blast-from-the-past Strange Sports Stories from a Brave and The Bold comic in 1963… and another from Strange Sports Stories in 1973
- A return to Ultimate Sports Force
- A classic cartoon or two
- And, sometime around Spring Training, if the baseball gods be willing, THE ULTIMATE BIZARRE BASEBALL CULTURE STORY. Yes, even more so than Mr. Go.
So… get hyped.
Micro-Update on the MLB-Japan Series: Adam Jones not playing after all
Aside
Okay, micro-update to the previous story I did on the MLB-Japan All-Star Series: Adam Jones actually won’t be taking part, as another commitment came up. So if you go back to that old story, feel free to mentally erase Adam Jones’ name.
Neat Link: Cespedes Family BBQ
While adding in the link yesterday, I realized that there was a site that belonged on the Blogroll that I somehow had never placed in it: The Cespedes Family BBQ. Run by two college students (Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman), it features their hilariously offbeat podcast (a recent episode dealt with whether it was safe to eat a baseball and how much Jake’s mom disapproved of the idea), as well as articles on various things, most of them involving their unhealthy obsession with Barry Bonds, shirseys, Yoennis Cespedes, and Backyard Baseball‘s Pablo Sanchez. It all makes no sense, and yet it also makes all the sense in the world.
Their Twitter account is arguably even better.
So, if my “Bizarre Baseball Culture” installments and weird eBay finds aren’t weird enough for you, check out Jake and Jordan’s stuff.
Rest Day
Aside
Nothing new today, but look out in the coming days as the Baseball Continuum kicks the offseason into high gear!

Over at the Hall of Very Good: my latest “Wisdom and Links”. This week, I look at the history of player-licensed video games, and also do my prediction for the World Series. Check it out.
Coming in the next month or so…
Without any games last night, there’s no “Mr. Octobers”. So, instead, here’s a bit of a preview about what you’ll see in the next few weeks:
- Mr. Octobers until the end of the postseason
- Perhaps a new Bizarre Baseball Culture
- Super-early-guaranteed-to-be-wrong-just-for-fun projection for Team USA’s 2017 World Baseball Classic Roster
- More “Wisdom and Links” over at Hall of Very Good
- Going off-topic, a Video Game Review of Super Smash Brothers for the 3DS
- And more!

Now over at Hall of Very Good: a “Wisdom and Links” that features some musings as to how the Baltimore Orioles, despite being down 2-0, might not be dead yet.
Check it out.
My latest “Wisdom and Links” over at HOVG…
My latest “Wisdom and Links” takes a tongue and cheek look at who will be in the World Series by looking at it from perspectives that basically have nothing to do with what goes on on the field. Check it out at Hall of Very Good.
