NOTE TO READERS: I'm introducing a new feature today, the List of the Day. These will be interspersed among the regular daily entries, especially during the offseason months. In future, related lists can be tracked down by the Labels at the bottom of each post (just as you can track down all posts for a particular team and season currently).
