Way back in the 20th century, Bill James wrote the first essential book about baseball managers. Chris Jaffe has just written the second.

From now on, whenever I have a question about a manager, Jaffe's book will be the first and last one I reach for.

John Brattain Memorial Fund

The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.

YESNetwork.com - The Pinstriped Bible

More gold from Goldman. My favorite passage:

The year of illusory improvement materialized because the team enjoyed six months of clutch hitting, singles falling in at the right time, or shortstops spontaneously exploding into a million gooey pieces just as they were about to catch the game-ending line drive. Everyone runs onto the field and enjoys a squishy high five, not realizing that shortstops don’t detonate every day, that it’s not something that the team earned so much as it just happened, that you can’t plan for it and can’t depend on it.
