Reminder: Talk-a-thon today

I’m going to call into this at 4pm today.   I doubt anyone cares about me but regardless a good cause.

For the second year, the biggest names in baseball and the fantasy baseball industry join together to raise money for a worthy cause: to help the families of soldiers protecting our nation overseas.

DONATE TODAY

From 12 noon on Feb. 27 until Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010, Baseball Digest, FantasyPros911.com and BlogTalkRadio.com will join forces to host the second annual 24-Hour Talk-a-Thon.

The 24-Hour Talk-A-Thon will stream live at BlogTalkRadio :http://www.thefantasysportschannel.com/talkathon/

Last year’s show was an industry first, raising over $7,500 for Cystic Fibrosis. This year baseball writers and the fantasy baseball industry team up to help Operation Homefront. The Talk-a-Thon features guests from Major League Baseball, including Hall of Famers Robin Yount, as well as a host of current and former players, managers, coaches, scouts, radio personalities, and more.

Citi Field: The Mets’ New World-Class Ballpark: A Ballpark Pop-up Book

This book exists.  Dan saw it at Barnes & Noble for $25, but Amazon has it discounted for $19.  I’m not going to make fun of it.  That’s why we have the comments section.

Citi Field: The Mets’ New World-Class Ballpark: A Ballpark Pop-up Book

What’s interesting, is the Amazon image (right) seems to have been retitled.  On the left is the version Dan saw at B&N.  Perhaps the stadium isn’t considered “new” any more.  Yeah, that must be it.

Great video of the Twins new ballpark Target Field

If you spend any time on Mets Police you’ll dig this great video of the Twins new ballpark.  Take a look at the wood-back seats.  How cool is the giant retro shaking-hands thing?   I love how they numbered the gates!  Someone might have to call the Twins Police about the railings at the front of the sections (go about 4:38 in) but looks like they did a better job on staircases than some other stadiums.   Some of the stands look Yankee Stadium III-ish.  Here, take a look…

I guess after the Marlins get their ballpark it will be a while until the next new one.  Thanks to Jesse for the tip!
