I answered quickly with the hope of getting back on target. But judging from the scores of follow-up questions and the volume of post-lecture emails I received, a talk on career regret would have been the real bull's-eye. Ever since that afternoon, I've been on a mission to categorically answer the...

A True Fan’s Guide To Surviving Baseball Season

“Hope is the most evil of evils because it prolongs man’s torment.”Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wasn’t rapping about baseball fandom, but he may as well have been. The dawn of baseball every April tends to shower fans of every team with a clean slate and hope, when in reality, the writing is on the wall: a large chunk of the league is hopeless.
