"I saw on DanShanoff.com that you had mentioned getting Baseball Prospectus 2007, well in 2004 I did my summer internship at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in their library. Myself and one of the other interns once talked about how cool it would be when we have kids that instead of reading them bed time stories we could read them baseball statistics from Total Baseball. Just curious, what is the varsity dad's take on putting lil ones to sleep with stats."
Keep the questions coming! I want them to become a regular feature on the site.

Dan, I think the reader who suggests baseball stats is onto something! Instead of reading my daughter books on fairies, unicorns, and puppies, I read her baseball stories and other of the greatest sports stories in history. I have three books with over 200 different sports stories -- not to mention my recently updated (throught the class of 2005) Baseball Hall of Fame book with a page on each player in the HOF.
She stays calm and sits with me well for the 4 or 5 minutes it takes me to read - and best of all, when I'm channel surfing late at night and come across a CBB game or and NBA game, baseball, or old boxing match -- she just sits on the ground and watches. Best of all, I think she knows when something good has happened because she will turn to me and scream "Yeah!" -- even if I have the volume down.
That's pretty good for a 10 1/2 month old, eh?
What sporting events do you think every son should see with his dad? How about dads and daughters?
