What’s Rob Reading?

2021 The National Pastime: The Future According to Baseball

“A Sporting Past, Present, & Future(s)
By Ty Schalter, TySchalter.com

“If you asked me to pick a single piece of writing that ignited my young imagination more than any other, I’d name “Sports in the Year 2001,” a fantastic bit of first-person futurism done by the staff of Sports Illustrated back in July 1991. My not-quite-ten-year-old brain’s circuits blew out on practically every sentence: eight-foot-wide high-definition TVs, President Dan Quayle, the Florida Marlins as a concept. So when the editors of The National Pastime: The Future According to Baseball offered me a review copy, my not-quite-40-year-old brain’s circuits blew out.”
