Great idea Tal.
I'd like to begin.
Here's my first column that ran last week. It's an ode of sorts to the long-forgotten, much-maligned...baseball card back.

And my second column, which was posted today. An intriguing look at careers of 2 pitchers that almost never were: Kenley Jansen and Johan Santana. Also based on information I learned from card backs. Lots of interesting content. Hope you all enjoy reading just as much as I enjoyed writing.

The second article is actually part 1 of a larger article, which will also discuss Felix Rodriguez (another successful "converted" pitcher), and Rick Ankiel (a former star pitcher who had quite a journey before finding a rebirth of sorts as a power-hitting outfielder). And yes, Ankiel still has quite an arm.
Part 2, discussing Rodriguez and Ankiel, is scheduled to be published next Wednesday.
I always welcome your comments, suggestions, feedback, etc. Thanks!
