Horace Fogel was a sportswriter who became manager of the New York Giants in 1902. His time as Giants manager is best remembered for his attempt to move Christy Mathewson to first base. He was fired 41 games into the season and replaced by Heinie Smith, who put an end to such nonsense. Instead, he tried to move Mathewson to shortstop.
Alright, guys, the World Baseball Classic is underway. Maybe you aren't into it, but I certainly am. At any rate, it's the best baseball Twins fans can expect for a while.

I can remember my mom politely asking me to change my musical choices after hearing this song.
