Baseball DIY

The baseball toaster is all about poetry these days, including predictions across the league. Here's the kicker...the stuff is actually very good! Makes it easier for a tough guy to appreciate verse I suppose. Todd Jones over at The Sporting News is wondering why northern towns always have home games in the Spring when it's freezing outside. He has a solution to the problem that I think makes a lot of sense, especially for all the shivering fans. And Patrick Rasmussen pines for the Oakland A's of his childhood in a new essay up at Slow Trains.

Sometimes, you need your memories to keep you warm.
