Ed Whelan finds a disturbing inconsistency in the Sotomayor life-story as told by President Obama:

As part of his effort to curry favor with baseball fans-"Some say that Judge Sotomayor saved baseball" by her injunction ending the 1994-1995-Obama presented Sotomayor as "a lifelong Yankees fan." But a March 28, 1995, story in USA Today, titled "U.S. District judge not a baseball fan," states that Sotomayor "grew up a few miles from Yankee Stadium but says she knows little about the sport."

I'm also dubious that she read the whole Nancy Drew series.
