Test your baseball knowledge against the pros
In case you haven’t already seen it, there is a pretty fun baseball trivia quiz over at ESPN.com. The questions are pretty easy, but it’s really hard to get more than 25 or 30 of the 50 right. After you take the quiz, you can see how you compare to several major league baseball players and ESPN commentators. What score did you guys get?

Just like the Good Ol’ Days
Nomie made the All-Star team! Makes me want to get out old photos and think about how happy we were together.

I like to think this had a little something to do with a homegrown Fenway effort. After starting the season on the DL, Nomar is leading the National League with a .359 average. If he can stay on top, he’ll be the first player to win a batting title in each league in….well, on second thought, instead of giving it away, let’s make this a bonus trivia question. What the hell, I’m feeling giddy. When was the last time it happened and, for a cookie, who did it? No Googling!
So an all-around tip of the hat for Nomar. I suppose this just goes to show that every thorn has its rose.
