In recent weeks in this space, I’ve rolled out my annual MLB Best Pitches series. Click to see the pitch-specific articles on changeups, curves, cutters, splitters, four-seam fastballs, sinkers and sliders. Yesterday, we brought it all together, combining the grades for each pitch in the arsenals of all 80 pitchers who threw 135 or more innings in 2022 to calculate starting pitcher Grade-Point Averages. Today, and early next week we’ll take a look at a handful of notable starters who just missed the 135 inning threshold.

It’s a name most people haven’t heard of, but one that resonates over the last almost century of housing policy, Catherine Bauer Wurster. When she wrote Modern Housing in 1934 she was Catherine Bauer, not yet married to San Francisco residential architect William Wurster. Bauer’s life before her book is fascinating enough for a post all by itself. She circulated with the famous and semi-famous writers and thinkers in salons in post-World War I Europe. What she took from those experiences certainly shaped the book and her contributions to the first major federal housing legislation that passed congress in 1937, The Housing Act of 1937 (the Act) or the Wagner–Steagall Act. To understand America’s obsession with and preference for “public” solutions to housing it’s important to start with Bauer, the legislation, and her role in it.
