Someone said I wrote too much about Ohio State.
I said, “Impossible.”

Just realized my Buckeyes book has fewer interceptions than the 2022 season.
Lots more fun facts, though. 😉

With the Blue Jays leading the AL East by 2.5 games, the final stretch of the season is here. Did you know the Jays swept the Yankees on the road earlier this summer? Dig into the full story and more gems in On the Diamond: Toronto Bluejays trivia.

Baseball is boring?
Not if you’ve argued about stirrups, stats, and Vin Scully's best calls.

You ever shout “He was safe!” at a replay from 1986?
Congrats. You’re Mets material.

I love the game. The stats. The weird rules.
Also the part where 40,000 people scream at an umpire like he owes them money.

Baseball teaches patience.
Mostly while your reliever stares at the runner on first for 90 seconds straight. This is entertainment.

My trivia book has facts. But it also has emotional damage. It’s like being a fan, but with more footnotes.

Bryce Harrison @finalscorepub.bsky.social · Jun 22

Baseball fans will argue for hours over a stat from 1973, then forget what inning they’re in. That’s not a bug. That’s the culture.

Bryce Harrison @finalscorepub.bsky.social · Jun 21

People don’t read baseball books for peace. They read them to remember exactly who to blame.

You think it’s fun writing trivia questions? Try sorting through 14 different nicknames for the same pitcher. One of them is just “Meatball.” No explanation.

I love baseball. The history. The stats. The heartbreak.
Also the part where your closer throws one pitch and ruins your entire week.

Bryce Harrison @finalscorepub.bsky.social · Jun 18

There’s a kind of madness required to write 200 questions about a team that blew a 3–1 lead in 1987. I call it “baseball.”

Bryce Harrison @finalscorepub.bsky.social · Jun 17

If you’ve never screamed “THAT WAS FAIR” at a screen from 200 feet away, you haven’t earned a trivia book about this sport.

Bryce Harrison @finalscorepub.bsky.social · Jun 16

Baseball is the only sport where you can be a legend for standing still and occasionally failing successfully. I respect that.

Game 2 is tonight
Pacers up 1-0
OKC has a shot to reset the tone before heading home

Also if you’re a Thunder fan and think you know the full story
I wrote a 200-question trivia book about this team’s wild ride

Me: I’ll just write a short fun trivia book.
Also me, two months later: Do I need to explain the 1981 MLB split-season playoff format?
Answer: yes. Always yes.

Bryce Harrison @finalscorepub.bsky.social · Jun 6

Barry Sanders made defenders vanish.
Calvin Johnson made gravity optional.
Dan Campbell makes knee biting inspirational.
The Lions don’t just play football. They make it interesting.

I once spent a couple of hours verifying a date for a trivia question. I got it wrong, but now I've got an extensive knowledge of 19th-century baseball umpires. #TriviaChallenge #HistoryNerd

It's amazing how much I enjoy writing, and how much I abhor editing.
