Craig - thank you so much for your latest column! I know you didn't intend this when you posted it but you darn near restored a sense of normalcy to my life! This is the sort of thing that happens when you get on the wrong side of 60... I had this thing on the back of my left knee called a baker's cyst that burst or exploded or something right near the end of August. It caused my red blood cell count to drop dangerously low, which made me physically weak and cognitively even more useless than usual! And here I am, normally the one who is my 95-year-old mom's caregiver 24/7 for more than 10 years! 7 days in the hospital and I was back home just in time for your column to drop. Amazing how it restored a sense of normalcy to my universe! I know that's not what you had in mind when you wrote it but thank you anyway!!!!!
It's amazing and unbelievable but true that every now and then - not often but every once in awhile - good things really do happen on the internet!
I'm pretty much the walking embodiment of the old white old school baseball guy. Yet you've never heard from a more enthusiastic advocate of the pitch clock and of so-called laser umps!
Even though I hate the idea of banning the shift I certainly won't miss it!
The only proposed changes I'm dead set against involve relocating the pitchers mound (lower it even more instead!) and making the bases bigger. Leave the field alone as much as possible!
Maybe I can reestablish my curmudgeon bona fides by pointing out that the royals appear to have several MLB pitchers and also have Luke Weaver.

Wow. Glad to hear the newsletter can brighten your day. Baseball!
😀 the healing powers of baseball - who knew?!?!
I was going to say, thank you Doc Brown, but my guess is you've been sick of that one for about four decades!
