The Baseball Listicle Lineup for Sep 13 - Sep 20, 2022
My favorite baseball articles, many in the form of "listicles", from the past week
Issue #30
Ninth edition of this weekly feature here at Now Taking the Field—a roundup of my favorite recent baseball articles. Somewhat similar to my own writing topics, I tend to like “listicles” the best—articles that are either written in list form or that make heavy use of lists and charts of data, players, rankings, etc. I’ll of course include other favorite baseball articles in these weekly round-ups, but you’ll find most will be of that type. I’ll especially be focusing on articles by other Substack baseball authors, and articles directly from MLB.com itself, but I sometimes do read articles from other sources too.
Here are my favorite articles for the week Sep 13-20, 2022, starting with articles written by other baseball-focused Substack authors:
