Commissioner “Kennesaw Mountain” Gerber (a/k/a the non-racist “Kennesaw Mountain”) checking in to say that we have 15 managers (!) which is going to make Bystander’s fantasy baseball league absolutely hilarious bedlam.
We need one more (or any even number) for me to finalize it. So if you’re on the fence, now’s the time to write publisher@americanbystander.org and take the plunge.
While I have your attention, I wrote this over the weekend for Bystander’s neckwear-worshipping Substack, The Dandy’s Noose. It addresses one of the central questions of our age: tie width. Hope you enjoy.
I also wrote Draft #1402 of my after-dinner remarks for The Yale Record’s 150th Gala on April 15, 2023 in New Haven. As befits someone deep into middle age, my speech is genial and inspirational, and carefully avoids any of my youthful explorations in semi-legal publishing or human sexuality. Those will be ladled out privately upon request, after a few glasses of champagne. (Ask about Graduation Day.)
Since I have to get on a plane anyway, I am considering writing a short memoir about my college years and posting the chapters here for our paid subscribers. How does that sound?
Now somebody, anybody—JOIN THE LEAGUE.
