Best Websites to Use: Wardle and Poeltl
After Wordle really took off, it spawned a lot of clones/copycat games. While a majority of them are probably not very good, there have been a few variations that I have really enjoyed. The first variation is called Wardle, which is similar to the concept of Wordle but for baseball. Rather than guessing words though,…

Best Websites/Apps to Visit: The Athletic
I am a huge sports fan, and I am constantly on ESPN/Bleacher Report checking for the latest updates.

Best Non-Fiction Books to Read: A History of Baseball in 10 Pitches (Tyler Kepner)
A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches is a book describing pitching in baseball, and how it has changed over the centuries (from when baseball started in the 1800s until now). The book is obviously written primarily for baseball fans, and I would imagine it would be extremely boring for those who are unfamiliar or…
