Chass-tized
Former New York Times baseball writer and Red Sox fan favorite Murray Chass has launched his own web site (not a blog) where he will post baseball columns (not blogs). Got that? Turning the world on its axis, this Chass.
“This is a site for baseball columns, not for baseball blogs,” reads the “About” section of murraychass.com. “The proprietor of the site is not a fan of blogs. He made that abundantly clear on a radio show with Charlie Steiner when Steiner asked him what he thought of blogs and he replied, “I hate blogs.” He later heartily applauded Buzz Bissinger when the best-selling author denounced bloggers on a Bob Costas HBO show…
“Otherwise, this site will most likely appeal primarily to older fans whose interest in good old baseball is largely ignored in this day of young bloggers who know it all, and new- fangled statistics (VORP, for one excuse-me example), which are drowning the game in numbers and making people forget that human beings, not numbers, play the games.”
It kind of reminds me of the day my grandfather finally decided to get a color TV, but made damn well sure that we knew the world was a better place when “The Adventures of Oky Doky” came over amidst a sea of snow-specks. We all just sort of humored him with a nod and went on back to watching baseball on our, and I’m sorry if this confuses Chass, HD 720P DLP.
Chass also proclaims that Red Sox fans are welcome to visit the site, which is awfully swell of him.
