wow, that was very well written. perhaps a little too preachy and cliche for my tastes, but that guy has a career as a writer if he wants it

did he really hope to get one vote or was that sarcasm?

Yup.

And only now I learn what happened to the guy Harry Caray once called “Dusty Rhodes”.

Glanville's great.

Eight or nine years ago, I befriended a woman in the local dog run whose son had grown up with Glanville, and I remember her having incredible things to say about him. He really is an excellent writer, and I’ve been enjoying his Times pieces tremendously. I didn’t experience this one as preachy, exactly. He did come awfully close a couple of times to using some of the cliches discussed in the Stupid Baseball Lingo thread, but he never quite did, and I read the piece all the way through without feeling like it was the least bit trite or phony.
