Would a short story about baseball make a good column? I wrote a short story about a neat experience I had playing little league. I'd love some feedback and was wondering if that sort of thing would make a good column here.

This is the first sentence on the Columns page: Columns are articles and commentary written by SportsFilter members. My opinion is that a short story would fall under the articles category. So yeah, go for it.

Thanks!

I would think that anything shorter than your average Henry James novel is fine, especially if you are, in fact, Henry James. But yeah, go for it. I look forward to reading it.

I look forward to reading it as well, dfleming. Always looking for a good read about baseball. And dfleming can't be Henry James because I, in fact, am Henry James. Or am I, in fact, Harry James of squeaky high-note trumpet fame? Gotta find that license.

Just do it.

And dfleming can't be Henry James because I, in fact, am Henry James. Or am I, in fact, Harry James of squeaky high-note trumpet fame? Gotta find that license. I always thought that you were Hairy James, the porn actor.

A-HA! Gimme my license back, NoMich!

...and I'm Jesse James. Post it, dfleming, or I'll rob your bank. This James thing is beginning to sound like the Johnsons in Blazing Saddles.)

Howard Johnson is right!

Mongo agree.

I am not Henry James, James Joyce or Joyce Brothers. Yall can stop with the rumors.

What about The Brothers Karimozov? Are you in that?

You got me. I'm William Shattner.

So Mr. Shatner, what did you do to piss off JJ Abrams so much that he didn't put you in his movie? I mean besides kill Kirk in Generations? (This is a geek level 8 comment)

I don't want to talk about it and you don't want to hear. You sleep with Nimoy's wife once and suddenly, you're the bad guy...

'Aint it the truth.

I'm sorry, did you just say something?

I do not own a framed copy of that and it does not hang in my rec room.

This is a good lesson about me. If I ever became insanely, criminally desperate, and wound up taking hostages, all the negotiator would have to do to keep me talking is appeal to my true geek. I won't shut up. (The previous is not an endorsement of insanely, criminally desperate activities. No hostages were taken during typing)
