A Pitch that Roared, a Book that Bored
Some
sports books are like this one: Written on the fly to cash in on an athlete’s
brief moment in the sun, certain in the knowledge no one will be reading it in
a few years when said athlete’s time is long over.
I
mean, this particular pitcher had just enjoyed his first big season, leading
the Atlanta Braves to their first-ever postseason appearance, and he’s already
30 years old. How much longer would you
think he had?
