Things you maybe didn’t know about Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria: in 1968 he wrote a book drawing life lessons from the Peanuts comic strip. You can see the book jacket here. I actually own the book second-hand and have read it, although I can’t seem to locate my copy at the moment. It’s typical of the genre, philosophical but not deeply so, and painfully earnest in its approach; you would probably only enjoy reading it if you’re a serious Peanuts afficionado, as I was at one time (as a kid I read nearly all the strips going back to 1952 as well as a biography of Charles Schultz). Of course, I also found it a bit amusing for the time-capsule nature of a book commenting on life in 1968.

Baseball Crank,
Though I have not been reading your blog usually, I have commented here before. As I’ve said in the past, you have a great site. The design, layout, and format here is very excellent. I just added a blogroll link to your site; it should show up the next time I publish the series of entries that I posted at my blog today; I still have to finish and modify those entries…
Anyway, your blog is excellent… Keep up the good work!
🙂
After looking at the Marlins’ payroll alongside the Yankees, “Peanuts” is an apropos comic for Loria.
