Many thanks to Erik Sherman for joining us on Talkin' Baseball this morning to discuss his book "Dewey" about Dwight Evans. Erik was a great guest and very generous with his time. Dwight could be on the Contemporary Player HOF ballot next year - will he get in?

We had a great Talkin' Baseball meeting this morning with Tim Newby who told us about his book and Pete Browning, the original Louisville Slugger. Is he a HOF snub? That's a good thing to debate over a beer or two... #SABR

Pete Cottrell and local DC-area Radio and TV personality Johnny Holliday. Johnny did the Nationals post-game show for 14 years, and even Washington Senators games back in 1970-1971 era. #SABR

First impression of Globe Loge Park - the fonts on the scoreboard and other electronic signage are tiny, so hard to read. But as someone observed, everything’s smaller in Texas.

A great morning for collegiate league baseball - 10am start time for the Bunt Cakes and the Hot Wings. A dozen chapter members come out to Capital One Park for some inexpensive entertainment ($5 for admission to multiple games, free for seniors). And we’re in the shade! #SABR
