The middle passages here remind me me of some very good childhood memories: falling asleep on the living room floor with a half-drunk Coke beside me and a bowl of popcorn to the dulcet tones of Pete Van Wieren and Joe Simpson calling the Braves games.
Baseball outsider here - absolutely loved this. I *wish* I was into baseball more; I feel like I like the idea of baseball more than baseball itself. But because of that I also enjoy baseball writing without being a huge fan of the sport. Great stuff Steven.

Baseball writing is ridiculous and wonderful. Steven works himself up into a right lather to give it its ridiculous, wonderful due. (no paywall!)
