If he didn't seem so well adjusted off the field he does kinda strike you as a guy that will log a 6 ERA in Australian Ball before gives up

this book is so good, and clearly Knows Ball (I'm assuming it gets the other subject matter right.) Recommend the audio book: Jen Richards' acting is great. (I only noticed two small minor mispronunciations of football names, which is stellar)

Dutch biking practices and infrastructure are good and all, but I wish this linguistic differentiation applied to ice skating. They could be calling speed skaters "blade runners."

I appreciate that the Dutch distinguish between folks on bikes (fietsers) and the spandex cyclists (wielrenners).
