I always read your "Judging the Royals" articles in the Star - made me enjoy watching baseball WAY more than I used to. My wife & I would watch every pitch of the Royals games and not be bored - I learned to look for the little things (are the fielders shifting or not, based on whether the pitcher could throw where he was supposed to that day...). Fortunately I learned more about the game right before the Royals World Series runs. Thanks for that!

No sweat...I loved doing it. I was learning right along with you and the players and coaches appreciated having the inner workings of their game explained.

Another great post. I know the attitude is important to you, but what you write really resonates. How much better would the world be if people wouldn’t listen to other who don’t know what they are talking about?

Good point. Before you react...or in many cases, overreact...to what someone says, you should ask yourself if there's any evidence that the person knows what they're talking about. I learned that from the players, which is why most of them don't read what's written about them.
