SAD: Doug Pappas, staff writer for Baseball Prospectus, blogger and one of the nation's top analysts of the business of baseball, died of heat prostration while hiking in Big Bend National Park on Friday. His BP colleague Joe Sheehan has more thoughts.

I only knew Doug via his writing, and he had no peer in deciphering and explaining the economic and labor issues central to our national pastime. We will feel his absence every time a franchise claims to need more taxpayer subsidies, and every time Bud Selig cries for pity. He will be missed.
