- UPDATE: I'll just throw this in here since it kind of fits. I've had a bit of a family tragedy and I might need to take a couple of "personal days" from blogging. I'm not saying I definitely won't post, but I might not do so with my usual vigor and if I have to leave town for a few it won't be the first thing on my mind. Just to let you know that any interruption will be short-term and not to worry.
- Here's an article on my all-time favorite Goldpanner and one of my top players in general, Bill "Spaceman" Lee, from a fantastic blog called The Golden Sombrero. The article is basically about how Lee did and said all kinds of wacky things, although it neglects to mention how he came up to Alaska to play for this team called the Goldpanners back when that was still kind of a crazy thing to do. Anyway, thumbs up on the article and the blog, you should check it out.
- For those of you who are interested in how the season league leaders list shook out, check out the stats on the Glacier Pilots' website. They've got season league leaders in all categories. Some really interesting stuff on there...look at all the Miners on the batting average category. I didn't think I'd see anyone challenge Drew Heid's batting title last year, but Brett Schwartz has pulled it off, hitting over .400 for the season.
- Several folks on here have said that they'd like to meet up some time, and I'm going to be in Anchorage on Wednesday having a little get-together with some friends somewhere. Something low key, probably whatever dive bar strikes our fancy, but you're welcome to stop by. Just drop me a line and I'll let you know the details.
OK, that's it. Have a fun weekend, a safe weekend, and keep checking back for info on the Oilers' drive to the NBC crown plus all the random early offseason stuff I can scrape up!
Really? you just out Heid and Schwartz in the same category. Are you serious. Schwartz is not EVEN close to Heid in hitting
ReplyDeleteWell, considering the category is "Players with batting averages over .400 on the season", yes, they're both in that category. I'm just saying that it's pretty impressive that we've had .400 guys in consecutive seasons.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I think that this blog can only benefit from people sharing different opinions on players. If you want to elaborate on why you think Heid is way better than Schwartz at the plate, go for it.
