Baseball Library

When I was a kid, Lindsay Nelson, one of the Mets' original announcers, did a spot every game advertising the Mets Yearbook with its "many colorful photos" and a team picture "suitable for framing." He ended each commercial with the phrase, "and it'll make a great addition to your baseball library."

And every game I'd think, "That's gotta be the dumbest idea...who has a 'baseball library?'"

Well, it's around 45 years later and the answer is, uh, me.
Here's part of it, wedged between Feynmann and Plimpton's Paper Lion.
