FanGraphs Audio: My 91-Year-Old Grandfather
Episode 235
The host’s 91-year-old grandfather, whose opinions have been documented previously within the electronic pages of FanGraphs, is the guest on this edition of FanGraphs Audio. Discussed: ways in which the host has failed to fulfill his potential. Also: the Yankees of the 1950s. And finally: management advice for the current iteration of the Boston Red Sox.

2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.

Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Awesome.
Reminds me of my dearly departed grandmother who, ~15 years ago, explained to my then-14-year-old sister that she would never get a job with the shoes she was wearing (she was wearing those 90’s Keds at the time).
Who cares …
I care!
Dr. Internet strikes again.
FFW, words to live by. Er, letters, anyway.
Would love to hear from your two or three, whatever the case may be, other grandparents.
This warmed my heart.
but did it warm the cockles of said heart?
I guess with Kevin Goldstein’s mom no longer gracing the internet with her radiant presence, we’ll have to make due with Carson’s grandfather.
I am going to miss Kevin’s mom. Hello!??!
It was entertaining, thanks for publishing. I would enjoy a conversation between Dr Internet and Phil Cistulli, I feel it would have gravitas….and also not gravitas.
