I am confident most people have, at least once in their life, expressed their disappointment in an official way about either poor service or an inferior product they received - and we should. Good businesses and managers want to know when things are wrong. But I wonder how often any of us do the same when we are lucky enough to experience excellent service or an outstanding product. Too few probably.
I mention this because, after all, a lot of what I like to do here is really just my way of expressing my dissatisfaction with the quality of the sportswriting and sports reporting that appears in print and/or on the internets. And with that said, it's time to highlight something I really liked.
This is sportswriting.
Of course, as much as I like Rich Hoffman and love reading his work, I can't help but point out - politely of course - one minor flaw in this otherwise wonderful piece:
The fifth pitch of the at-bat was ball two, and then [Brett] Myers hit another foul ball and broke his bat. As he walked over to get a new one, that was when the crowd really took the thing to Defcon 5.
Defcon 1 was what he meant. And if you were there, you know that description was spot on.
Rich Hoffman ladies and gentlemen. Read all you want, he'll write more.
