Back when GM got its taxpayer-funded bailout, a fun idea occurred to me: If GM is a ward of the government, then that makes GM-owned Corvette ZR1s government vehicles.

I’m not sure if there is anything more difficult in life than identifying baseball talent. Brain surgery? Talking to women? The list is pretty short. Staking your career as a scout or General Manager to the analysis of 18–22-year-old ball players is a risky endeavor. Why do some players make it and some do not?
