Love: Luis Arraez Style; the story of a baseball field in Arrey, New Mexico; Good Omens; female scouts remain not welcomed by some; so are we really never going to talk about why the Cubs are playing close to Thanksgiving in ‘The Martian’?; calling someone else’s shot
Last week the baseball world lost a friend, and a lot of essayists lost a mentor and a model: Michael Steinberg; *James Murphy voice* baseball we love you, but you’re bringing us down; please read our screenplay about Robot Rob Manfred: Destroyer of Baseball

Thanking José Altuve for making fellow diminutive people look good; picking a team to root for isn’t as hard as picking a college, thank goodness; a Nashville native knows he won’t pick any Nashville expansion team
Twins fans aren’t Job (probably); trying to break the habit of rooting for the Yankees; never go away baseball
The ceremonial first pitches could be elevated in every sense; the Randy Dobnaks who don’t make it have a familiar sad story; but of course Bryce Harper inspired a petty pizza promotion gone wrong
Learning about the Black Sox on your honeymoon; keep score during the playoffs at your own peril; there’s always “there’s always next year”
