A call to arms, by Will Carroll

By Tangotiger, 11:12 AM

Will said this:

We need to find ways to engage and educate each and every baseball consumer who’s willing to listen and wants to learn. We need to fight the anti-logic bias this country has and we need to do it soon. The tech world is about to get the iPad. What’s baseball going to get?

We had a similar thread a while ago.

Will I think has great knowledge, like Mike Silva has.  A knowledge to ask the questions that is bugging him, the questions that I can answer.  I don’t know what’s in his head, as surely as I did not know what was in Mike Silva’s head.  Mike asked fantastic questions, great questions, questions that gives us insight into a vast mainstream.  Will I believe is the same way.

UPDATE: Will is open to me being on BPR, but I declined.  I don’t have a good reason for declining, just that I decline all non-email interviews.  As I said, not a good reason, it’s even a terrible reason, but it’s my reason.
