Asterisks

The 2020 baseball season will have an asterisk by it. So will plenty of other sports and awards. It's the era of the asterisk. Was that book or song really the best--or even within shouting distance of being the best? Who knows--the praises don't generally mention quality.

@ Grim - heh. Rather like some footnotes in the Bible: Some manuscripts omit this text.
