I'm so glad baseball season is back. One of my students sent me a link to this column about a statue of Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks. Young fans might not know that doubleheaders used to be common in the major leagues. Banks, also known as "Mr. Cub," loved the game so much that he is often quoted as saying "Let's play two." But as Chicago Tribune columnist Mary Schmich writes, there's something very wrong with the statue.
At least they didn't spell it "Let's play to."

Well, you know, it's only Cubs fans that will be looking at that statue, so does it really matter?

I've noticed a trend: American copy editors (or former copy editors) are more fond of sporting stories - and sports in general - than UK copy editors. At least among those who blog. Don't know why, and it's not a bad thing.
