* Party question

September 10, 2009 · 2 comments

To break the ice at parties, some hosts might engage their guests in some questions, such as “Which character, real or fictional, would you enjoy having a dinner conversation with?”

For many baseball fans, it might be Bill James, as Joe Posnanski, late of the Kansas City Star and new to SI.com, does in this piece. Only instead of having dinner (unless dinner is a dog and a beer), they’re at a ballgame. Me, I’d like to hang out with Stephen King.

I just wrote a small piece noting his undoubted impact on Hall of Fame voting since he wrote The Politics of Glory.
