I hit the magazine rack at Barnes
and Noble today for my baseball magazines, and let me offer these words of
warning: don’t confuse baseball with baseball fantasy, other than being an
Orioles’ fan dreaming of the postseason.
Standing in line to pay, I was
reminded yet again how much I miss Who’s Who in Baseball, and I didn’t even
like it all that much. But after the Baseball
Register stopped publishing, Who’s Who was my default reference guide. What has it been now, three years since Who’s
Who went bye-bye?
Sorry, nothing online
competes. Yes, baseball-reference.com
basically has the same information, once you start clicking; with the Baseball
Register especially, it was all there at your fingertips. And I have yet to see trips to the DL noted,
and I never once had a hardcopy lose power.
Get wet, yes, but not go blank.
And even getting wet wasn’t the catastrophe it can be for our electronic
devices.
So, allow me to be a little grumpy
on this cold, gray Sunday in March.
