* The "other" writer in the Torre kerfuffle

January 31, 2009

Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated‘s senior baseball writer, was already the subject of an interview about The Yankee Years by his employer, but here’s another.

Does the fact that SI is interviewing one of its own with one of its own (in this most recent case Alex Belth is credited, although there’s no reproter named for the first) bother anyone else? Let alone the fact that they’re jumping on the publicity bandwagon, hoping to attract more readers wanting to read the except in advance of the book coming out this week.

Since we know SI’s Verducci’s employer, I’m not bothered (its undisclosed conflicts that bother me) nor am I bothered that SI’s trying to promote their writers books, unless they’re blocking other, less biased interviewers, but that’s not the case here.
