Not baseball
On the Hardball Times site, I publish a regular column entitled “Ten Things I Didn’t Know Last Week.” At least, it’s regular during the season.
Anyway, the original inspiration for that column was the BBC’s ten things list. And now, the BBC has posted its list of 100 Things We Didn’t Know Last Year. There’s nothing about baseball on the list—not even about cricket. But it’s a great read, nevertheless.
- Donald Rumsfeld was both the youngest and oldest Secretary of Defense in US history.
- The costume of the Lion in the Wizard of Oz was made from real lions.
- My favorite: thinking about your muscles can make you stronger.
You also might want to know if you think more like a man or a woman. I graded exactly even between the two; I evidently have an androgynous brain!
And now you know way too much about me.
