    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    I have not read it but thanks for the recommendation! It was an eye opening experience. I was bright eyed and bushy tailed and had the romantic vision of baseball that you are supposed to have as a kid. That disappeared almost instantly that summer. The first day when all the interns...

    Can I be permitted to tell a story here that is only tangentially related to the thread? Just delete for me if you guys hate it. :) I spent a summer working for the Bridgeport Bluefish, an erstwhile independent league team in CT (incidentally former home to old friends Shea Hillenbrand, Jose...

    5/21 Bloom's Gambit
