I met Doug Pappas at a Baseball Prospectus pizza feed one year ago. I am absolutely floored by the news of his passing. On an emotional day for me for other reasons, my thoughts go out to him and his mother.
Doug's home page is here. Lots of fun stuff - you can see how diverse his interests were. And he had one of the clearest minds of any baseball writer in any medium, period.
