OT: Great read on Grantland on the origins of baseball
 

Nice piece on Grantland (great site). Anyone on the board know the subject of the story? Seems like a fascinating guy with an obsession many of us can relate to on some level.

Very cool article.That gentleman has some amazing research skills.I think ill try to check the book out.

I plan to read the article on my commute home (ferry ride...not driving ;)).
