When I vacation in the U.S. with my family, we normally catch the Mike and Mike radio show on ESPN when eating breakfast. It’s a shame we don’t get to listen to these guys live in Canada, and I don’t have a lot of time to listen to the podcast - especially since I don’t take the bus to school anymore. Anyways, I picked up a copy of their book Mike and Mike’s Rules for Sports and Life in hopes that their comedy would transfer from the airwaves to the page. It did.
The book is written exactly like how their radio show would appear on a transcript, complete with “station breaks,” guests, and new focuses for each hour. The text is in different colours throughout the book to add emphasis to which Mike is speaking. It’s a very light read, and shouldn’t take you more than a couple of hours to complete. However, they do offer a lot of funny and curious ideas on how to revamp a couple of the major sports, especially in regards to Greeny becoming the next commissioner of Major League Baseball.
Anyways, if you like sports, check it out.

I never really thought about how all the differences in dimensions and measurements would change how baseball is played in the Little League World Series compared to the majors. ESPN Sports Science did -what I think is - a fascinating piece on how it can actually be tougher to hit as a little leaguer than a major leaguer. Take a look, interesting stuff.
