Baseball DIY

I'm currently in a reading group with my wife, my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law, and one of my sister-in-law's fourth grade students. We're reading Bob Costas's Fair Ball: A Fan's Case for Baseball, which was published in 2000 at the height of Yankee dominance. It's interesting to take another look at this book and see how things have changed (and how some thing haven't). This article by ESPN's Jayson Stark is a nice summary of how MLB has improved when it comes to that great catchphrase, "competitive balance."
