mouseandhat Wednesday: The Curse of the Billy Goat
After working as a sports copy editor for a central Ohio newspaper for about a month and a half, looking over stories from Cleveland and Cincinnati as well as any number of other places around the world, I have gathered some knowledge about the typical sports news article. It seems to me that no other section of news is so devoted to statistics. Tidbits of information that seem inconsequential out of context - a pitcher's ERA versus left-handed batters, for instance, or the at-bat ratings of a particular batter against a particular team - suddenly bear so much importance when applied to an upcoming game or, even more so, the upset of a game that just happened.

mouseandhat Wednesday (almost): Jackie Robinson
I am slowly but surely getting on track with these posts. I had my list midterm today, so perhaps now my schedule will return to normal - whatever that means. Today's submission comes from my friend Marc-André Chambers, who has introduced me to some of the bands that I have covered on this blog before. Apart from enjoying good music, however, Marc-André is also an avid sports fan, which is why it came as no surprise that he submitted "Jackie Robinson".
