This was genuinely the strangest baseball (or I guess baseball-related) story I've ever heard. And that means a lot because this sport is so weird. Good work as always!

Once I began typing the word "hoo-hoo" with a straight face, I knew I'd gotten into very strange territory indeed!

Your rabbit holes are always interesting. Thanks for chasing the black cat.

I note that '09 Cats manager (and future WS champion) Pants Rowland gets a different color cap and a cat that goes the other way.

Can we get today's MLB managers out of those silly rec-room hoodies and get them to wear slightly regrooved versions of what the players wear?

See, I like the hoodies! Comfort is important. I think it's far sillier for them to wear full uniforms...unless they're player-managers, in which case it makes sense. So maybe we should bring back the player-manager. It would add some drama to modern baseball.
