“Two Cleveland die-hards, Scott Raab and Jay Levin, blog the baseball playoffs until a champion is crowned.” The running running is reminiscent of King and Onan in Faithful which consisted primarily of back-and-forth e-mails between the two writers on the 2004 Red Sox season. How fortunate for them that the Sox chose that year to win it all.
Here’s a list of the Raab/Levin files.
As mentioned in a previous post, you can look for “baseball” in Esquire‘s own search engine and come up with some typical off-beat pieces such as:
- “What I’ve Learned,” from Buck O’Neil, Dusty Baker, and Ted Williams
- Charley Pierce (a favorite of mine on NPR’s Wait Wait. Don’t Tell Me), on Rookie prospects
- Profile on Bill James , Don Zimmer (by Raab), Mariano Rivera (by Pierce), and Barry Zito
- A look at baseball fallacies from Ken Kurson, currently a key player in Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign
