* Speaking of baseball articles in men's lifestyle magazines…

March 21, 2009

First Esquire, then Details, now GQ.

When I was on the Brooklyn College baseball team we had this guy, John Silviano, who was the epitome of style. He would award or deduct “GQ” points for various fashion combinations. Bar in mind, this was the mid 70s.

But I digress.

In the current edition, there are a couple of baseball articles. The first considers the dubious honor of working for Lenny Dykstra, whom the writer makes out to be the poster boy for Adult ADD. Not only is this a magazine worthy of a bookshelf, but it’s double duty: Dykstra is the nominative publisher of one himself, targeted at former athletes, “The Players Club—a glossy filled with Gulfstream jets, palatial estates, and financial advice for guys who make millions of dollars a year.”

The second piece considers the life in limbo that belongs to Barry Bonds these days.
