Thanks Brian. For those interested in Carl or the Dodgers, Carl's two books "Tales from the Dodgers Dugout" and "Tales from the Dodgers Dugout: Extra Innings," are a pleasure to read, and his anecdotes are written in pretty much the same style as if he were talking to you. His book "The Parallel" mentioned in the NYT piece, is also a good read, and I hope they do develop it for use in Indiana schools, because it would be a useful educational tool. Lastly, the documentary by Ted Green is excellent, and worth a watch. It pops up occasionally on the PBS and MLB networks.
