You need him on that Wall

April 2, 2018

No, not Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men (or, heaven forfend, the wall on the Mexican border). I’m talking about Tom Hoffarth, late of the Los Angeles Daily News (he’s the one in the middle, above). While he joins me in the ranks of the recently “released” journalists, he continues his excellent “30 baseball […]
