Talking Chop

Here are some tidbits I came across while surfing this afternoon.

• Recently released minor league pitcher Nick Fellman has found a new home with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the Independant Northern League. I always had high hopes for Fellman, but I guess the Braves had other plans.
  
• Hammerin Hank Aaron finally got his own exhibit at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown. The exhibit is called "Chasing the Dream." A second exhibit will apparently open in 2011.
• Speaking of Aaron, there's a nice editorial in the Savannah Morning News about the stadium there, and about how the author failed to recognize Hank years ago.
• The Mississippi Braves have had such a great impact on the surrounding area that there's talk about trying to attract another baseball stadium to the casino coast of Mississippi. I wonder if J.C. Bradbury considered this when he ripped the Gwinnett Braves for overstating the impact the stadium would have on that area.
• Rowland's Office echo's my thoughts about Escobar and his fiery approach to the game.
• Our old friend Joe "the hammer" Hamrahi has a nice review of the Mets new home, Citi Field.
