I think this merits a thread, as Lavarnway is unique in having studied philosphy at Yale. And, of course, he's a legit prospect.

Very cool, thoughtful interview... thanks David.

Also I'd like to submit as a prospective nickname for our young Yalie catcher: "Project". As in "Project Lavarnway"

Lavarnway and Lars Anderson should get together sometime.
