Kevin Youkilis’ snuffbox! Nick Swisher’s blowdryer! Paul DePodesta’s sliderule! Simulacra of these Cooperstown-destined artifacts and more will be furnished to a set supervised by Freddy Waff, leadman on the upcoming Brad Pitt/Demitri Martin Moneyball adaptation. Freddy’s been getting steady work dressing sets on big ticket Hollywood movies since the last millennium, but his career really seems to be hitting its stride.

“Big Props” to you, Mr. Waff: you are Today’s Winner.
