Baseball DIY

Massachusetts writer (and American icon) Jack Kerouac made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame last week with a bobblehead toy. Kerouac was from my father's neck of the woods and French Canadian to boot (very cool) and wrote about baseball and New England throughout his life. He was not, certainly, a sports writer but still he made his mark by recalling memories of growing up in the area, playing the games and of course changing the face of literature as we all know it.

It's all part of the icon stuff you know.

I think it is very cool that Kerouac is in the Hall, it shows that baseball is more than just a game to Americans, it's part and parcel of the country's literary history.

Anyone feel like a road trip?
