Very nice. Birkmayer and the Elias Baseball Analyst series were the inspiration for TBRW. Some enterprising young fan should scan the entire print run of the IHN and put it online.

One of the more interesting and better-written pieces I've seen in the Sun for some time. Kudos to Ms. Berman.

It's a great article except for the lead-in/lead-out, which isn't her fault; it's a horrible journalistic cliché that's been clogging article arteries for more than 30 years now.
"Bob looks down into the cereal bowl and contemplates his Wheaties."
{great, factual, interesting, original article}
"But for now, Bob just hopes he's having a breakfast of champions."
Guh! If anybody has a time machine, after you kill Hitler please do whoever created that stylistic device.

Somehow the word "drift" doesn't quite describe what happened to this thread.
