Wisdom and Links: So, how long until _____

Welcome to 2015! It is currently January 5, which means we are…

• A day away from finding out who the BBWAA inducted into the Hall of Fame! (Jan. 6).
• Only 44 days away from the first pitchers and catchers reporting day! (Feb. 18)
• Only 55 days away from the first Spring Training exhibition game! (March 1, Philadelphia Phillies vs. University of Tampa)
• Only 57 days away from the first Spring Training contests between MLB teams (March 3)
• Only 90 days away from Opening Night! (St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs, April 5)
• Only 91 days away from Opening Day! (April 6)
• Only 154 days away from the start of the draft! (June 8)
• Only 190 days away from the All-Star Game! (July 14)
• Only 272 days away from the final day of the regular season! (Oct. 4)
• Only 289 days until Marty McFly arrives to find that the Cubs are World Series champions (Oct. 21).

Wait… how the hell are they going to get the World Series to end by October 21^st if the regular season ends on the fourth? Huh.

Jorge Arangure continues his streak on “Wisdom and Links”, this time on game-fixing in Taiwan.

And, while it’s only tangentially baseball-related, here’s a tribute that ESPN put together for Stuart Scott. May you rest in peace, Stuart.

Oh! If you want your childhood ruined, you can look at this behind-the-scenes image of “The Beast” from The Sandlot!

Anyway, 2015 is just beginning, so keeping coming to “The Baseball Continuum” and The Hall of Very Good all year long!
