Default OT: Great read on Grantland on the origins of baseball
Nice piece on Grantland (great site). Anyone on the board know the subject of the story? Seems like a fascinating guy with an obsession many of us can relate to on some level.

Yeah, it's long. I was able to read it at work, which my bosses would be thrilled to know. Had some downtime today.
