Just Click It — 7/12/09

Posted on 13. Jul, 2009 by Collin Orcutt in Golf, Just Click It, MLB, Sports Journalism, Tennis

It was relatively quiet week on the sports front, but here’s some good reading to start your week off right:

  • At Slate, Charles Pierce took a wrote about the fan reaction to Manny’s return from his 50-game suspension and what it says about baseball in this hyper-sensitive (post?) steroid era.
  • There’s been a lot of talk about this Tiger/Federer who’s better debate since Federer won his 15th Slam at Wimbledon. Joe Posnanski’s is by far the best I have come across.
  • Progressive statistics have become a major focus for professional teams. This article by the NY Times‘ Alan Schwarz is the latest installment. It’s an introduction to a new way to analyze baseball players’ efficiency in their movement on the field.
  • To end, another Twitter in sports article (in another four part series no less). ESPN’s Brian Bennett comes at it from a high school athlete’s perspective, though, and touched on a few interesting points.

Happy reading.
