Introducing Baseball 101

This is an idea that I’ve been kicking around for a couple of weeks now, and I think I’ll try it out for a while and see how it goes.  For the benefit of those who have a casual interest in the game and would like to learn more, I will begin scattering in “Baseball 101” posts, in which I will explain or discuss various aspects of baseball.  For example, what is the infield fly rule?  What does RBI stand for?  What is the difference between a slider and a curve ball?  

As with everything else on this site, I have no real structure in mind for this.  And, as with everything else, I will not pretend to be an “expert” on the subject, though I do like to think that I understand more about baseball than the average person.  Just as much as this will be a way for me to share information about the game with you, my readers, it will also serve as a means through which I can learn more about the game myself.

I hope you guys like it!
