Bob And Baseball


During my non-blogging August, I failed to address two main events of much import: The fact that I saw Bob Dylan in concert once again back on August 6, and the incredible fact that the Cleveland Indians are still playing meaningful games this late in the season, with an outside chance at running down the Tigers and winning the AL Central crown. Both wondrous events defy description, so you'll just have to content yourselves with this bit of whimsy--Bob Dylan song titles combined with baseball names and terms (can you spot the one football interloper?). Hail Bob, Go Tribe.
