There's something cold and white flying through the air and
piling up on the ground, and since I *know* it isn't Blue Jays
opening day :-) and since the traffic on net.sport.baseball
has slowed to a trickle of stubborn statistical argument,
I know it must be that most dreaded of seasons, winter.

So . . . would other people who are missing their daily fix
of Tom and Jerry talking about "ducks on the pond", "Doctor
Longball making a house call", dear old Cliff Johnson going
"oh fer", "long loud outs" and all the other good stuff

[yes, those are Blue Jay localisms, but surely everybody's
got a local equivalent of Tom and Jerry!]

please offer some suggestions on how to get through the next
few months?  I've got some fragments of baseball on tape, but
they'll hardly last me till April!

Are any of the table ball games any good, for instance?
And what is the best off-season reading material?
