The Christian Science Monitor has an All Star Game story about a couple of new museum exhibits:
Dressed to the Nines is the Hall of Fame's authoritative account of 150 years of baseball fashion. All the weird and wonderful uniforms you'd ever want to see (remember the White Sox in their black shorts?).
The other exhibit is at the Library of Congress; it's a display of Baseball Cards from 1887-1914.
Here's an idea: British MPs are encouraged to blog by a group so large the organizers have had to hire a bigger hall.
Another new use for blogs: a Virtual Book Tour. The concept is to have authors whose publishers have limited marketing budgets guest-blog for a day. The site-owner gets a copy of the book and has to review or excerpt it. Hmm.
Oh, if you're a baseball fan and wonder if your favorite team has somebody blogging about it, go look at Baseball Musings; David Pinto has an entertaining take on the game (be sure to read the pun-filled correspondence about sausage-gate), and his sidebar is about as comprehensive as you can get.

Posted by: Solonor at July 15, 2003 11:29 AMHey, I've been writing (slowly evolving to blogging) about the Braves for five years now (http://bravesjournal.com/) and he doesn't link me. Feh.
