IN THE SERIES
BASEBALL IN AMERICA
EDITED BY RICH WESTCOTT
ES, I AM THE FAT GUY ON TV. The one who wields his coffee cup on Sunday mornings the way Eugene Ormandy waved his baton. I gesture with the cup on TV and Mike Lupica performs an angry aria. The question you ask me most after, Do you and Lupica really hate each other? is, What's really in the cup? It's really coffee. On these, pages are a sampling of what I've been up to on either side of the 30 minutes a week on ESPN-words mined from a day job of writing sports that goes back to 1960.
Paul Hagen, the man who took over the baseball beat at the Philadelphia Daily News when I began writing a column in 1987, has a problem with people who walk up to me in airports and restaurants and say, Aren't you the fat guy on TV, the one with the coffee cup? Paul will blurt, You know, he's a pretty damned good writer, too.
Kevin Kerrane, a pretty damned good writer himself, has put together some pieces from the thousands I have written during four decades of my day job. This was all Kerrane's idea, so blame him.
The only constant from my first job at the long-deceased Philadelphia Bulletin to the present has been my wife, Irma. She should have named the three kids she mostly raised Spring, Summer and Fall. In Winter, she had to put up with me as well.
My coffee cup truly runneth over.
