Readers With Blogs (#2)
I told readers in a recent post that if you followed me on Twitter, I’d check out your blog. Here’s the latest in a series that takes a look at some NotGraphs reader blogs and points you toward some interesting things I find. If you’d like to potentially be included in a future post, it’s easy.
1. Here’s a fun book review of Curious George at the Baseball Game. Are there other children’s books about baseball that could benefit from a sabermetrically-minded analysis? That could be a fun series for someone to write.
2. Here’s a very nicely Photoshopped collection of MLB catchers with goat hands, which makes (slightly) more sense if you read the post.
3. Six weeks too late, but this “do I have the ball?” trick played by Ryan Zimmerman to catch Carlos Gonzalez off third base is pretty cool, and a nicely done GIF.
4. Some solid-looking analysis of whether Nick Swisher ought to remain a Yankee next season.
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.
Key word: Slightly. Thanks so much, Jeremy!
