The Futility Infielder

A Baseball Journal by Jay Jaffe I'm a baseball fan living in New York City. In between long tirades about the New York Yankees and the national pastime in general, I'm a graphic designer.

Gone Fishin'

Well, folks, I'm off for the trip which is the centerpiece of my summer. Six days in the San Francisco area visiting several old friends and capped by my pal Joel's wedding, followed by six more in Alaska, with my newly-retired father on a guided fishing trip in the Katmai National Park. I may get a chance or two to post here, but most likely, things will be pretty quiet until I get back on July 13.

In the meantime, there are plenty of other great blogs to read, of course. My usual suspects include Alex Belth's Bronx Banter, which has an interview with Jim Bouton on tap, Mike's Baseball Rants, for all of your Joe Morgan-bashing needs, The Cub Reporter, just back from a European vacation, Elephants in Oakland, Dodger Thoughts, Twins Geek, Replacement Level Yankees Weblog, and a whole lot more. You'll still feel the immense void left by my absence, but I'm sure you can survive on this thin gruel of sites. If you need more, check out Baseball Primer, The Baseball News Blog, or BaseballBlogs.org.

I'd like to call your attention to a new blog, Rich's Weekend Baseball BEAT. Rich's first piece is on the American League's newest freak of nature, Devil Rays outfielder Rocco Baldelli. Rich looks at Rocco's hot start, his lack of plate discipline, and some historical parallels for the pride of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Good stuff.
