I'm not interested in sport in the slightest, and baseball even less. Whitey Ford was unknown to me until I read the article yet it still interested and moved me. But then I don't consider myself to be a hacker in the modern colloquial sense, just a career software developer and electronics engineer hacking at things to make them better. Anyway, just because the title reads Hacker News doesn't mean that only hackers (of any type) read it any more than The New York Times or London Times are only read by residents of those cities.
