Jeremy Blachman is the author of Anonymous Lawyer, a satirical novel that should make people who didn't go to law school feel good about their life choices. Read more at McSweeney's or elsewhere. He likes e-mail.
Nice! Love these.
I was doing a series of #BaseballAnagrams on Twitter recently, which were all figured out. The idea was for the clue to be an anagram of a player’s name but also describe them or something they do, at least to some extent. Here they are in case by visiting this page you like anagrams!?
SCORE DARTING RUNS
BENDER ON START
RAW RITE BELT
SUPEREST BOY
TH’ MIRACLE OUT
JUST ROPE BALL
NE DIAMONDS
I MACH ONE BLUR
RAN AND SPED
LANKY ACE THROWS
NE DIAMONDS = Ian Desmond (dunno how this describes him really)
I MACH ONE BLUR = Michael Bourn
LANKY ACE THROWS = Clayton Kershaw
RAN AND SPED = Denard Span
Nicely done. The Desmond one is a bit of a stretch, but since he plays in the NL East, he can often be found in North-East (NE) diamonds….if that makes sense.
SCORE DARTING RUNS = Curtis Granderson
RAW RITE BELT = Brett Lawrie (?)
SUPEREST BOY = Buster Posey
TH’ MIRACLE OUT = Michael Trout
Good stuff. Here “rite” is supposed to mean “right”, as in, right-handed.
