“Mad Men” star Jon Hamm and his longtime girlfriend, actor/director Jennifer Westfeldt, did an interview with Vulture that quickly turned to baseball talk and this excerpt about the intentional walk amused me:
Hamm is a hardcore St. Louis Cardinals fan and there’s also some Albert Pujols talk in the interview.
Westfeldt: Don’t get me started on the walking. I became very angry last year. The walking editorial I wanted to write ...
Hamm: Jen wanted to write an editorial about the intentional walk.
Westfeldt: I hate the intentional walk. It makes me furious.
...
Westfeldt: It’s just bulls***.
Hamm: Play the game.

More importantly, if Hamm or Westfeldt or anyone who knows them is reading this right now: I think NBCSports.com would be a fantastic platform for a good screed against the intentional walk.
You write it, we’ll run it. Just let me know.
