Third Edition - 4/29/26

Hands down the most fun edition to write, and probably to read! Heavily leaning into the baseball aspect of this newsletter (how could I not), this publication is packed with stories of the game. From the rhetorical analyses of Art Shires and Gates Brown to my family's experience to picking Scott Pitoniak's brain, this one's a home run. Just want to add: Major thanks to Scott Pitoniak, he was a class act! You can clearly tell he cares, taking the time out of his packed schedule to sit with an unestablished writer for two hours to talk ball and help the kid out.
