Rabbit Season

While I'm sure this is funnier if you've read some sabrmetric style baseball writing, it's excellent even if you haven't read examples of what's being mocked at parts. One great line is:
It’s a further testament to the addled mental condition of the Teatotallers during this carnage that they were unable to take advantage of the congested baserunning by fielding any ball and throwing it to any base, where it would have immediately forced out three runners and ended the inning.
The whole thing is really good though, and strongly recommended. It even makes me miss the old days when I procrastinated by lurking at Baseball Primer. In fact, it's inspired me to track down this classic from back in those days (scroll down below the standings for the fun part).

I'll try to put together a post on voting rights and children tomorrow.
