I’ve always got a Field Notes notebook in my pocket. In it, I jot down anything I need to remember — phone numbers, thoughts, article ideas, meeting notes … really, just about anything. In an increasingly digital world, sometimes a pen and paper are still what get the job done best.

Field Notes’s Summer 2012 Edition is here, and it’s all about celebrating America’s favorite past time: baseball. In Outfield Green, Infield Brown and Hardball White, the new notebooks come with a first edition of Kevin Guilfoile’s new book A Drive into the Gap.
