"meritous"

weird article that alternates between interpreting "hero" as "someone who is good at baseball" and "someone who was charitable"

Herman's piece from the beginning of the thread is still hard to top, love his revisionist history.

I don't have a problem with the article itself but he uses "nails" as an adjective three times in the same article, a usage I've never seen before. Is that a common baseball phrase? Or a Cameron-ism?

it's a baseball phrase, if not so common as to use three times

Not that I read minor-league baseball stories off the wire (or from anywhere, for that matter), but still.

Oops. Turned up on my FB wall yesterday--I ought to check dates.
