The Real Winter Meetings

Posted by Aaron Gleeman
I enjoyed reading about various bloggers' trips to the Winter Meetings and, I have to admit, it sounded like a pretty good time. Sort of like half SABR convention and half (baseball) celebrity meet-and-greet.

All-Baseball.com's Ken Arneson, however, tells a very different (and animated) tale. If you only watch one flash movie about baseball bloggers today, make it this one!

The Real Winter Meetings


Gammons Wins Spink

Posted by Dave Studeman
Before I'd heard of Bill James or the Internet -- shoot, before I got married, had kids and went all gray in the hair -- there was Peter Gammons. I lived in Boston in the late 1970's and early 1980's, and every Sunday the highlight of my baseball addiction came to me via the Boston Globe: Gammons' Sunday column. It was full of notes and insights and, yes, gossip, that the intelligent fan literally couldn't get anywhere else. Days when he actually ran a column during the week were like holidays. To me, it is the archetype, the standard by which I judge all baseball writing.

So when I heard that he had won the J.G. Taylor Spink Award from the BBWAA, my main reaction was surprise that he hadn't won it already. Congratulations, Mr. Gammons. And thanks for the inspiration. See you in Cooperstown.
