Navin's great...

…he’s one of my three favourite writers on FG ,along with Custulli and Cameron. He’s a Toronto-based guy – I wish he contributed here on BBB.

Have you read his stealing home articles?

Globe and Mail sent him to all 30 baseball stadiums to blog about it last year. And it was some great stuff.

Also check out his write-up on the game loonies. I played it with him and a bunch of guys during the home opener, and it was actually a great way to watch a live game.

Yes...

…it was through this series that I first became aware of Navin. (Actually, a high school – I think – buddy of Navin’s was my student of mine and told me about the series, introducing me to Navin.) I’ll look up the game loonies, but if you post a link, it would be appreciated.

Loonies

It can come across a little crude, but is still a fun game none-the-less.

And I had no idea you were a teacher/professor. What level do you teach?
