Today SABR launched an incredible new book and companion website on Baseball at Manzanar: How We Played the Game, 1942-1945. It’s the story of 120,000 Japanese Americans who were removed from their homes after Pearl Harbor and forced to live at remote incarceration camps: sabr.org/baseball-at-...

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I know the title makes this sound like a niche thing, but it’s actually a fun breakdown of one of the game’s most interesting players.

If you'll pardon a plug, one benefit of a @fangraphs.com membership is access to the weekly mailbag. I'm having a ball answering those questions, because I am answering them as Mailbag, who lives in Matt Martell's place and subsists on reader inquiries. I have BIG plans for Mailbag going forward.

Hello Mailbag,

During the Brewers broadcast on Sunday, September 13, against the Reds, the announcers stated that the Brewers’ at-the-time winning streak of five games was tied for their longest of the season. They promptly lost on Sunday to keep that statistic true.

This seems remarkable to me that the team with the best record in the league has never won more than five games in a row. Assuming the Brewers maintain both this max winning streak and the league’s best record, would this be the shortest maximum winning streak by the team with the league’s best record?

— Blue Shoes

What a crunchy question this was, Blue Shoes! Answering it required many clickings on Matt Martell’s computer. Perhaps I should explain: I am Mailbag, and I do not have my own computer. When I find myself chewing on a particularly numbery question, I borrow Matt Martell’s laptop while he human sleeps. (I am Mailbag, and my species knows not sleep, which provides much time to answer tasty questions, but can sometimes make things lonely.) As a consequence, I must always know Matt Martell’s laptop and Stathead passwords. When he changes one of them, I must pass my day skulking and peering around corners until I see him type in the new one. Luckily for me, Matt Martell’s password security is nothing to write home about (MAIL HUMOR) and his peripheral vision is a mixed bag (BAG HUMOR).

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Carol St. Clair Johnson
born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.
