You can't bunt a guy to second when he doesn't get to first!
Below is a letter I have sent to Griffin's mailbag. I have copied it here since he probably won't print it...and I firmly believe that if I spend five minutes writing something, it should be posted somewhere on the internet.
Hi Richard,
Long-time reader, first time writer. Your ideas about baseball are very interesting and I look forward to reading your thoughts on baseball every week in your mailbag column. Having watched the Red Sox somehow defeat the Angels in the ALDS, I am very confused. How did a bunch of guys who get on base all the time and hit a lot of home runs manage to beat the Angels three games in a row?
Thanks,
Kim Jorn

This is gold. I hope he replies. The only thing you were missing was a mention of how you'd like to subscribe to his newsletter!
