I used to enjoy playing baseball, it was the sport I played competitively from elementary school through high school.  Can’t say that I am a huge fan of it anymore — watching it is completely boring, especially compared to the new past-time: college football.  At any rate, I bumped into some interesting articles discussing various phenomenon that occurs in the diamond:

- Baseball and physicists, the guys at DamnInteresting dissect academic journals discussing as you might have guessed, physics and how it relates to the sport of Ruth.

- Busting Baseball Myths: Scientist Throws Big Curveballs, a scientist discusses why a rising fastball really does not rise, and other fun myths.

- And lastly, Movement Starts to Encourage Baseball to Give Bloggers Access, a group of individuals want to have the same accessibility to teams and players as the other traditional/established media firms.  For the record, so as long as they do not involve the State, I really don’t care.

Take this how you will, but CNN recently ran a report that the work many stay-at-home mom’s perform throughout a given week can reach up to $125,000 per year — and $85,000 for mom’s that also work outside the home.  While you could argue over the various numbers and duties (a market clearing price for one particular job will vary based upon, at least, the labor market in the surrounding area), the thing that stuck out at me was this: will the IRS now try and tax members of the household for generating unreported earnings?
