Today’s links should show up brilliantly on your iPhone ... assuming, of course, that you’ve already downloaded SB Nation’s brilliant new iPhone app onto said iPhone.
Links You Can Use
* On the 18th of September, MLB Network is showing this documentary about baseball statistics. I might be in it. If so, could you tell me when? I’d like to watch the rest of it. A bunch of my friends are in there.
* Meanwhile, just a few days later the Moneyball movie premieres in Oakland, just before opening nationally. The tale of this project’s long journey from Michael Lewis’s mind to your local multiplex has been told many times already, but it’s probably never been told as well as this.
* Baseball gets a bad rap sometimes, in comparison to football. Competition-wise, that is. Well, my friend Allen Barra’s here to compare the two leagues, and when Allen gets involved you’re bound to be surprised (or angered, or something else that might be really annoying except it’s sports so it’s okay).
* From ESPN.com, everything you could possibly want to know about Thursday’s Murder in the Bronx.
* Jeff Passan has written his favorite column of every season -- 25 things you didn’t know about baseball -- and now it’s one of my favorites, too.
* Every so often, it's fun to read the first-hand account of a beat writer. Like this excellent interview With Marc Carig, who covers the Yankees for the Newark Star-Ledger.
* It took a long time, but Jimmie Foxx finally got his statue.
* So I guess registration’s been closed awhile, for tomorrow’s fourth annual PITCHf/x Summit. Otherwise I would invite all of you to join me. In the event, though, I’ll probably be twittering or whatnot during the thing. Plus, the event might be streamed live, if you have a computer or what-have-you.
