My daughter and I shared a delightful day touring a couple of colleges in the Boston area. (The Harvard tour guide, however, didn't deliver the punch line to the story of the John Harvard statue.) Readers sent me a number of articles and interviews, so here's the collection for your evening reading.

Joel Jacobsen notes that life imitates Major League as Jhonny Peralta corrects his vision with eye surgery.

Jan sends this article on congressional hearings about the DirecTV deal.

Home Run Derby is a new blog dedicated to the home run. Rich Braasch, who runs the site also points out that MLB players will be sporting new chapeaus this season. I hope this means the end of those ugly sweat stains.

Dan Hauptman recommends Alan Schwarz's site, especially this Marvin Miller interview.

DRays Bay interviews David Price, someone they'd like to see Tampa Bay pick up in the draft.

Full blogging will resume tomorrow.
