Non-baseball, but still a ball (well, more of an ovoid)

I just wanted to make sure the baseballrelated.com readership had seen Gene Weingarten’s review of Tony Kornheiser on “Monday Night Football” (may require registration). The L.A. Times quoted the “five thousand degrees” paragraph out of context.

While I’m at it, I also commend last Sunday’s “Lio” strip to you (and today’s is along similar lines).

As long as we’re talking about baseball past

Note the profanity cleverly concealed within the Cleveland Indians’ lineup in this 1988 box score.

I didn’t discover this; a participant in an archived Gene Weingarten chat on washingtonpost.com had it pointed out to them back in 1988.
