You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'd probably put Rice in too, now that I think of it. The guy was an absolute monster hitter for a very long time. Also, an underrated outfielder (which will happen when you come up playing next to Fred Lynn and Dwight Evans).

Rice's main problem is that he wasn't particularly good with the media, and also that he wasn't Fred Lynn. He was the scariest hitter in the AL for a while.

Blyleven and Goose's percentages went up, so I think they've got a good shot next year, when there aren't any surefire first ballot picks. (Will the Thrill and Hershiser are probably the best of next year's class.)

Harold and the Purple Crayon!

It still makes me respond like this. The first book I ever loved.

Now going home. Really. Just finishing putting these simulations to run for the night, and then home.

The Eric Carle books, board and otherwise. Also, Goodnight Moon. Pat the Bunny. I loved the Richard Scary books, but I have a friend who is creeped out by Goldbug and I'm not sure the age on those.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Any good suggestions? I'll take toddler through early reader.

The Dumb Bunnies (ages 4-8, so it's probably out of your range)
Stand Back, Said the Elephant, I'm Going to Sneeze (also ages 4-8)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Any good suggestions? I'll take toddler through early reader. I think my mom is making him a bookcase.

Annabel loves her Dr. Seuss board books. Still in the board book genre, I like Hug, The Runaway Bunny, Guess How Much I Love You, and Time For Bed.

Nilly beat me to the other one I thought of after posting. Also:

Bread & Jam for Frances. The Runaway Bunny. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie . The Rainbow Fish is shiny!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Allyson, it's been a long time since I bought any children's books, but I still have fond memories of Amelia Bedelia. Don't know if it's still in print, though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got him Goodnight Moon, Stinky Cheeseman, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, Harold and the Purple Crayon, A Snowy Day, Moo Baa La La La, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and Where the Wild Things Are many moons ago.

He likes the board books, likes turning the pages. Some are too much for him yet but he'll have 'em when he wants wants 'em.
