Spend your life making newspapers and you come to know hundreds of writers. Most of them are odd and quirky and have funny stories to tell. And most of them are really good at quickly gathering a lot of information and actually making some sense of it in time for the next edition. But very few are good writers.
Joe Posnanski is the exception. He can tell funny stories and gather amazing amounts of information and he can write so well that you'll wade through thousands of words about why The Boss is playing at the Super Bowl.
Boating is one of the few forms of transportation in which the journey is more enjoyable than the arrival. Reading Posnanski is like that.
