Diary
I found a diary I kept in 1971, when I was 11 (5th grade). It's amazing.

10.26.05 State of Baseball
Congratulations to the White Sox. They earned it playing steady, by the book, baseball. It was refreshing to watch them let their pitchers complete games. That's baseball! More relievers, means more stoppages. Baseball is best when it moves along.

The average life span of a Major League baseball is 7 pitches? in the old days of baseball (till the mid-1920s), they used one ball for the entire game, retrieving foul balls and home runs from the stands when necessary. the balls themselves were quite dark at the end of a game as the pitchers put dirt on them to give them more of a grip.
