* Pat Jordan on Barry Zito

September 15, 2008

Jordan, who was Bouton before Bouton, contributed this in-depth profile into the soul of Barry Zito for “Play,” the regular sports magazine supplement for The NY Times.’

Zito, who’s been laboring mightily for the San Francisco Giants, is one of the games most “interesting” characters. In a less enlightened day, the current poster boy for free-agency excess, might have been called a flake, or worse. But Jordan does his usual excellent and edgy job of portraying the troubled pitcer. (See here for his stories on Josh Beckett and Jose Canseco.)
