There are surprisingly few real students of the game in baseball; partly because everybody, my eighty-three year old grandmother included, thinks they learned all there was to know about it at puberty. Baseball is very beguiling that way.

Alvin Dark, one of the most underrated players in history. The man was a fine player and managers. Kudos for highlighting him!
Thanks, Tom! Good to see you here!
