“men like us do not need holodecks”

A conversation between Wesley Crusher and J. Henry Waugh.  You will never hear anyone say the phrase “times at bat” with such relish. (The clip should end at 4:48, but the video keeps playing for some reason.)

But this art of reconstructing baseball games from box scores can be deadlier than it first appears.  Which might explain that confusing final chapter of The Universal Baseball Association

UPDATE 7/17/2010 The first clip should run from 3:06 to 4:48, the second from 7:33 to 8:22.  Turns out embedded clips don’t stop when they’re supposed to.  You can see them properly clipped here and here.  Also, Splicd doesn’t seem to work at all for iPhones and iPads.  Sorry.
