Links Of The Week

This week’s links were approved by the Links of the Week Approval Association ...

  • Playing soon, at a synagogue near you (and yes, I kid, but I really would like to see this one).
  • And since it's that time of the year, Jim Caple hands out his Oscars for baseball movies.
  • Really nice biographical article about Buck O'Neil Award winner Roland Hemond.
  • From the fertile ground of Flip Flop Fly Ballin': Alex Rodriguez with Derek Jeter's eyes and mouth (go ahead and look, you know you want to).

  • Joe Posnanski is skeptical about Derek Jeter's retooled swing because eventually athletes just get old. Which is true. I think if Jeter's better this season, it'll be largely because his luck improves. And I think it will.
  • Lovely story in the Times about the it-happens-every-spring relationship between Ron Guidry and Yogi Berra.
  • Daniel Greenia on the odd rule that's delaying J.T. Snow's Hall of Fame enshrinement by two whole years.
  • Keith Olbermann on how pitchers used to warm up.
  • In which I talk a great deal about the Orioles.
  • We all know what a baseball player is, but Andrew Simon explores the meaning of baseball player.
