For those of you who are baseball fans, and Jack Kerouac fans (or at least appreciate Kerouac), this is a lot of fun: A New York Times story that talks about the fantasy baseball game Kerouac created and played when he was a kid. He even (as you'll see in the slideshow) created mock newspaper pages about stuff that was going on in his fantasy world.
I guess you could call it weird. I think it's cool.
I am not a baseball fan, but the Beat Generation is my absolute fav, so I loved reading this.
