Amazon.com: Create a Listmania List

This has nothing to do with baseball, but it illustrates a neat little feature that I really like. I think something like this would be neat to do on Baseball-Reference.com. You could create any sort of list. Perhaps, your all-time Twins team or a list of the ugliest players, the smartest player, the players most hurt by managerial misuse. I probably couldn't implement something like this till next summer, but I'm certainly intrigued by the possibilities.

I should also mention that if you type in "Baseball" on their search box, you will find there are a lot of lists regarding people's favorite baseball books.

On another note, it appears to my amateur eye that Amazon.com is going to run out of gas in the next year. That said, the quality of their website is really mind-blowing. If you want to figure out how to properly do things on the web, study Amazon.com and Yahoo.com. I find neat new features on their sites all the time. They are truly a joy to use.

I just wish Amazon had stuck to books. I've never understood their need to get into lawn & patio furniture and other areas.
