Only two more weeks until Opening Day. Though I enjoy watching Spring Training games I'm ready to get started with the regular season. 2020 was such a weird year for a lot of players and I'm sure that they will be ready to dive back into a full season of baseball. I know I'm ready. In the spirit of the impending start of baseball there's quite a few baseball-related links in this week's post. But first, some a few other things of interest:
The new movie The Courier premieres today and looks like it will be an interesting film. It's based on a true story but oddly enough separating the fact from the fiction was a difficult task for the screenwriter.
David Cornwell was better known in the literary world as John Le Carre. What is less well known is what a critical role his wife played in him becoming a successful author.
Speaking of Le Carre, an appreciation for his most realistic fictional spy George Smiley.
This year, Major League Baseball will begin celebrating Lou Gehrig Day every June 2nd. It's great for him to finally get his day and to raise awareness and funds for ALS research.

Everywhere you go you'll see folks wearing baseball caps. Here's how the headgear became a fashion necessity.
Does Kevin Costner deserve to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame? You make the call.
After listing to this episode of the PosCast with Joe Posnanski and Bob Costas I want to start a campaign for Costas to be elected baseball's commissioner. It's a fascinating and wide ranging discussion of mostly baseball.
