CYBERSPORT : PERUSING BASEBALL SITES.Byline: Tom Hoffarth What Rob Edelman wants to do is simplify the process of exploring quality baseball Web sites on the Internet. That's about as easy as sweeping up a baseball stadium with a toothbrush toothbrush, n a handheld device with an arrangement of bristles at one end, and a handle designed to reach effectively all exposed surfaces of the teeth and gingiva. and dustpan. While the game's in progress. No matter how hard you try, the stuff keeps piling up. And no matter how well-intentioned the effort, it'll probably never be fully appreciated. Because of the nature of the Internet and the print medium, compiling such a comprehensive list is an exhaustive, uphill run. It's why Web sites dedicated to links and constantly updated are often more useful. That said, ``Baseball on the Web'' is a research tool for anyone whose appetite for anything related to the sport is perpetually active. If only to doublecheck to see that the sites still exist. And the book looks nice on the shelf along with all the other baseball stuff. Divided into 25 chapters, plus an appendix that lists the best baseball link sites, Edelman has managed to pick about 500 sites that caught his eye and were worth reviewing. That's 500 out of about who-knows-how-many thousands of Web sites dedicated to some aspect of baseball. From Edelman's search engine research, these off-the-beaten-paths might be useful to Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850.
