Broshuis keeps impressing me as a (not just sports) journalist.

Long ago they came west over the mountains, and I have rooted for them years uncounted; and together through many ages of this world we have fought the long defeat.

Agreed
Also, and I’m sure to feel dumb when this question is answered, but I can’t figure this out:
Perhaps no force has shaped the growth of Dominican baseball more in the past 20 years than the buscón. (Hint: it rhymes with the thing you dip into your coffee.)
I figured buscón was pronounced: boos-cone. What the hell rhymes with that that you dip into your coffee? Or do I have the pronunciation way off?

I was thinking biscotti but that doesn’t rhyme. Maybe more of a sounds-like kind of thing.
DOUBLE SWITCHES AND MATCH-UPS, THAT'S WHAT BRUCE BOCHY DOES!

Were you saying boo or buscón?
I was saying buscón.

It’s enough cocaine to get a herd of elephants high for the rest of their lives.
…and as a bonus, they don’t even need to use straws!
