Hi, my name is Scott Simkus and I live outside Chicago. If you happen to know me personally, you have my condolences. For those who’ve never heard of me- it’s probably best to keep our distance, we’ll get along much better that way. I’m a writer and researcher with an irrational affection for baseball history. You’re going to see a lot of baseball stuff here. Oh, there’ll be other posts: non-baseball things, hopefully “funny” or entertaining enough to keep you coming back— all free of charge. I promise to keep the narcissistic, opinion-based pieces to a minimum, because most of my opinions really suck.

I also live outside Chicago (about 1,000 miles outside, to be exact), and require the input of someone more baseball-savvy than I. Are there any good films about baseball that do not have numbers in the title?

The first one that comes to mind is “Titanic,” which was based largely on the Chicago Cubs post-season history. There’s a pretty good nude scene, too, where closer Kerry Wood sketches an extremely erotic portrait of Kate Winslet posing on a couch next to Ronny Woo-Woo.
