Last week, I didn’t have any links – I just made fun of the Mets’ payments to Bobby Bonilla. So, this week, I make up for it by ONLY having links! As a result of this, these links are from more than just last week, but they still are good!
Joe Posnanski on the Best Pitcher in Baseball History, and also some discussion on cheating
Derek Jeter’s “Player’s Tribune” site lets Jeremy Guthrie say what he’d do if he was an all-powerful commissioner. His idea: A True Baseball World Cup in mid-summer
Stephanie Apstein on Vision Training and “Neuroscouting”
How many hitters need to come to the plate for it to be a “bat-around” inning? It’s 10, by the way. Vin Scully said so.
Rick Maese on the widower of late Orioles PR chief Monica Barlow, who passed away from cancer last year, and how baseball is helping him heal
Bryan Curtis on the Many Identities of Alex Rodriguez
W.M Akers on the “Forgotten Men Who Broke Baseball’s Color Line with Jackie Robinson”
Will Leitch considers who might be the next Mr. 3000

So, next time, we’ll return to the usual “Wisdom and Links”. Until then, enjoy the games.
