It's been cold and snowy this week in my corner of Virginia. Makes me long for spring to arrive soon. We're only a couple of weeks away from Spring Training which means baseball will be back before you know it. There's quite a bit of baseball related content this week which I have put at the end of the post.
Here are some things of interest that I discovered this week. Hopefully these will come as a welcome distraction from the events of the past few days.
Meet the man who has made it his mission to take high resolution photos of snowflakes. The photos in this post are stunning.
If you are being bombarded with unsolicited spam emails or texts there is one thing you should not do: unsubscribe. I honestly hadn't thought about this but it makes a lot of sense.
I don't know what it is about the Brits and their metal detectors but every few weeks some new amazing discovery gets made. The latest is the detectorist that found part of Henry VIII's crown. Not to be outdone, a four year-old girl in Wales discovered a dinosaur footprint.
Longread of the week: the audacious CIA plot to steal a Russian satellite. It's fascinating stuff.
Maybe he was guilty after all. A new study suggests Richard III did kill the princes in the tower.
What could have been: Orson Welles, Lucille Ball, and the thriller that was never made.
Remembering the most famous golf shot ever made: Alan Shepherd hits a golf ball on the moon.
A look at the hobby boom of the 1950s. My dad used to build Revell model airplanes. Brings back a lot of great memories.
And now, the baseball stuff:
New York Yankees legend Yogi Berra becomes the latest baseball great to get his own stamp.
The man who photographed the home run kings.
I've been a baseball fan for years and have never thought about this: why aren't there any left-handed catchers in the majors?
