I don't do this very often, but work and other projects have been kicking my butt recently, so I haven't been able to do much blogging myself. With the news last week about Bud Selig's statue at Miller Park (coming immediately on the heels of my ballpark statues post), and with the retirement announcements of two future Hall-of-Famers, Frank Thomas and Tom Glavine, it's not the best time to be silent.

Thankfully, though, there are plenty of other great baseball blogs out there still churning out the quality writing. Here are a few links to some posts you might have missed:

  • 3:10 to Joba is giving out a copy of the new Baseball Prospectus 2010 Handbook. Just hop on over and send in an email (or tweet about it). A pretty sweet deal, if you ask me.
  • The Brewers Bar is the newest Brewers blog here at Bloguin, and I'm really enjoying Jaymes' work. For Valentine's Day yesterday, he took the time to write some love poems to a few of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) Brewers. Good stuff.
  • Staying within the Bloguin family for a minute, there's a great series going on over at Around the Horn: the Great Bloguin Baseball Debate. Writers from all over the network weigh in (including myself, in the near future) and debate over a given topic. There's already been a few excellent debates, including this piece about the Nationals and Stephen Strasburg.
  • This is another piece from last week, but, unless I want to wait until Thursday for the next installment - and I don't - it'll have to do. One of the best additions to the baseball blogosphere recently is Walkoff Walk's "This Tweet in Baseball", where Rob goes over some of the best Twitter updates of the last week from baseball personalities. It's always fun.
  • Finally, this isn't baseball-related, but it's still pretty cool. With Olympic hockey getting underway Tuesday - the absolute best reason for the Winter Olympics - you may want to know about the Olympic Hockey Blog, which plans to be all aflutter with activity over the next two weeks. Sounds like the place to be.
Enjoy the links, everyone.

About Me

What's with the name?
"Wezen" is the name of a star in the constellation Canis Major ("The Great Dog"). It's the star that marks the, ahem, point where the dog's tail meets its hindlegs. It's a name that I've always liked the sound of and so I used it around the internet.

When I started this blog, I didn't expect to put a lot of time into it, so I just gave it the first name I could think of. Now I like it, no matter how strange it may sound, and I just love how the new banner and background make use of it.

What's the site about?
There is no real, overriding philosophy guiding the posts here at Wezen-Ball.com. Instead, it's just a place for me to write about what I find interesting in the baseball world. Sometimes that means it'll be original statistical research that I've been working on or some other opinions that I might have. Usually, though, I'll be writing about how a certain player, team, or event from the past was viewed through contemporary accounts.

I do this mostly through the use of my collection of annual baseball preview magazines or other resources available online. So, whether it's looking back to see if Jim Rice was truly "feared"by the people who saw him play, or it's looking back to see how Greg Maddux was viewed early in his career, or if it's just looking back to see what people predicted baseball would be like in the year 2000 (from 1981), you'll find it here.
