I've written about sportswriter Joe Posnanski before. He writes for the Kansas City Star, and, now, for Sports Illustrated. (He even has the SI cover story this week, a fine piece on Albert Pujols.) He also has one of the great blogs around, which you can see if you turn your head a little to the right.
Posnanski is, I gather, pretty self-critical; in fact, one of the positives about his blog is his self-deprecating tone that crops up every so often. So, if he says he's happy about something he's written, it's likely worth checking out.
Such a story is this one from the Star. It's about a baseball scout, but it really isn't about baseball at all, it's just a lovely story about a man. I can't excerpt it, you'll have to read it, and I urge you to do so.
