Gregory Wolf at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of the White Sox
Gregory Wolf is a distinguished member of SABR, Society for American Baseball Research, as he has written numerous biographies and game reports. He has also edited several books for SABR, He is also Professor of German and holder of the Dennis and Jean Bauman endowed chair of the Humanities at North Central College in Naperville, IL. He is obviously a very busy man.
However, he finds the time to tease me on Facebook about mass transit delays. I certainly encountered many of them when I commuted from Queens, NY to Newark, NJ from 1992-2017. I documented many of them in this journal and my companion blog New York-New Jersey Commuting. I no longer ride on New Jersey Transit and ride the New York City subway only in non-peak hours. Thankfully, any delays I have endured in retirement were minimal.
I wonder if other prolific baseball writers make jokes about mass transit.
