Part 1:

I watched a video called "How to break in a baseball glove". He wrapped up the glove tightly and then wrapped it in a towel. Then he ran it over with his truck a few times, and it seemed to work. But I looked in the comments and while some people said it worked, many said the person in the video was ruining the glove. I will probably not run over my glove with a car because I don't want to ruin my glove.

Part 2:

I am reading a book called "Why Everything You Know About Baseball Is Wrong". It is one of those Baseball Prospectus books that talk a lot about sabermetrics and stuff like that. But I disagree with the book because it says stats like batting average and RBIs don't matter and OBP and other fancy stats do. If someone is hitting .300 with 100 RBIs, he's having a good season, I don't need to know his OBP or other weird sabermetric stats. Walking isn't that good because if you're a middle of the order guy, you are getting on base for the bottom of the order, and you probably won't score.
