My friend Chris informs me that I was listed in the bibliography section of one of the articles in this year's Baseball Research Journal from SABR. I just received it the other day but had yet to really peruse it. The article is "The Worst Team Ever?" by Jerry Nechal in reference to the 2003 Tigers.

At the end of 2003, I took a look at the execrableness of the Tigers, among other random issues, and found them to be the worst team ever. I called the article "End of Days: Detroit!?! No, Not Detroit!", a reference to the late, great "Kentucky Fried Movie" of Big Jim Slade fame. Alas my site didn't even get a plug since the author referenced another that re-packaged my stiff about a year ago. However, I still think it's hilarious that the old KFM reference made it into a bibilography next to the likes of Baseball-Reference, Robert Creamer, and Fred Lieb.

To quote the incomparable Yakov Smirnoff, "What a country!"
