Baseball Fans Unite

Although I don't think I could say I know all of you well enough to know
whether you're baseball fans, I think everyone knows that I certainly
am.

That said, I would urge anyone who considers themselves even the
most casual of fans to read a recent article on Baseball
Prospectus:

Framed as a letter to Bud Selig, Dayn Perry has put together one of the most well
written criticisms I have ever read about the commissioner. He's managed to
put together a fully well rounded, concise, rigorous criticism of most of the
evil things Selig has done, packaged in a formidably coherent and well versed
delivery.

I cannot stress enough the degree to which I recommend everyone
take the time to read this. If you follow baseball at all, you will
likely become more informed, at times entertained, at times incensed, and
on the whole a better fan if you take the time to read this article.
