Thank You!

Hi, I’m Tom! 👋 ⚾

Thank you for subscribing to The Baseball Buffet, a daily series from Now Taking the Field!

You should get a welcome email in the next 5-10 minutes. If you don’t, please check your promotions folder (or spam or junk folders), and if it is there please move it to your primary inbox so that you don’t miss any issues.

The goal of The Baseball Buffet is to provide the best daily dose of relevant baseball info in a smart-brevity format (headers, short bullets, getting to the point, with quick analysis/insights.) Think of it like what baseball fans of a certain age would look forward to in their morning newspaper’s sports section each day! Included in each issue will be sections covering:

• Quick highlights of the previous days’ games

• Standings

• On the Move - transactions including significant injuries, demotions, call-ups, etc.

• League leaders - rotating statistics leaderboards each day

• Daily trivia question

• On this Day in Baseball History (3-8 events that took place on that date in years past)

• Today’s Birthday Boys (writeups about star players from the present or past who have birthdays today)

• Previewing Today’s Games

  • Top games of note

  • HR Watch

  • Hits Watch

  • Who is Streaking?

  • Who Might Struggle Today?

• Quote(s) of the day

• Trivia Answer!

• Good reads - one or more recent baseball articles by others that I really enjoyed

I’ll probably add more features in time, especially if I can find more time to dedicate to this. Let me know what you think of The Baseball Buffet by rating each issue or directly via email at [email protected].

Beyond this daily series, if you are new to my work at Now Taking the Field, consider taking a look at the archive for some of what you’ve missed, such as:

• All-Time Dream Teams for players born in each of the 50 US States, as well as various countries

• All-Time Dream Teams for players born in each of the 12 months

• Unique player profiles called “Best, Worst, Outliers, and Oddities” on players such as Rickey Henderson, Dave Parker, Brooks Robinson, Joey Votto, Gaylord Perry… and more to come!

Thank you for reading my email newsletter and blog, Now Taking the Field, including the daily series, The Baseball Buffet.
