“Andrew Jackson had a big cheese in his main foyer of the White House. The cheese chunks were big, over two tons, and anyone who could be hungry.
That was the late, great John Spencer West Wingdelivered his Cheese Day speech to senior staff in the Roosevelt Room. I like to think of this mail bag as Fanggraphs’ own cheese day chunks. We open things for you, our readers, ask you any questions, like Leo, I comb them out and delegate some of them to our staff to answer. (Consider yourself Meg’s Chief of Staff and in this fangraphs-as-West Wing In analogy, Bowman is definitely Josh Lyman.
Cheese Day is big because of a question I received this week that we will be asking for for the time being. But before that, I want to remind everyone that while anyone can submit a question, Fangraphs members are unique.
