Weirdly, Michiko Kakutani is now writing about baseball for the Times ... I guess if the food guy can write about books (expect a switch from the frequent use of the word “liminal” to the word “tangy") the book lady can write about baseball. Does this mean the baseball guy is switching to the food beat? Maybe sports bar cuisine will be the next big thing.
