Make your own Pitch f/x graphs

THT's own Sky Kalkman over at Beyond the Boxscore continued a helpful series they've got running over there, explaining how to make your own Pitch f/x graphs. Here is RJ Anderson's first article explaining how to chart release points, and he also posted a second for movement. Happy Graphing!

The food timeline

This has almost nothing to do with baseball, but I've got to tell you about it anyway. Two of my favorite subjects are graphics and food, and someone has combined them into a fascinating Food Timeline. The scale isn't accurate (like xkcd's universal height chart is), but who cares. The Food Timeline is full of fascinating tidbits (like the history of the hot dog). Check it out, whether you're a baseball fan or not.

As our newest blogger says, the day isn't going to waste itself.
