#TWiC: Week of 1.3-1.7

EDITOR’S NOTE: You may have noticed that we’re changing formats in the new year. It’s true. While stories like #TWiC, #AskBW, Sporcle Quizzes and even Flashback Friday will remain free — as will podcasts — all analysis pieces will be held behind a paywall for the first 48 hours before being released free.

For one, I’d like to make a little money off the site to keep things moving smoothly. Secondly, this gives people a reason to subscribe to the site in the first place.

For those who have subscribed already, thank you! For those considering it, I would love it if you’d subscribe. If you can’t or are unwilling to, I understand that as well.

Happy New Year,

BW

If you could start a new MLB franchise with one player, who would it be? But there’s a twist: that player must be at least 30 years old, and not Mike Trout.
