Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, average third baseman

I was watching CSPAN II the other night, and they had a broadcast of a seminar on Whitaker Chambers. Speaking was Dan Mahoney, author most recently of the book Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: The Ascent from Ideology, and also this good article on Chambers. I did some googling to find more information on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. What I did not know was that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn had a long career in baseball.

Fascinating. Especially fascinating that he was traded for renowned Japanese novelist Haruki Murukami, who I hear can hit a TON.

Other teammates of his included Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Trachtenberg (who is still too young to draw pay under US labor law) and noted Civil War enthusiast J.E.B. Stewart.

Fascinating. I bet Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a rocket arm.
