Plaschke: Good Sports, Spoilsports, Foul Balls and Oddballs

I attended college with Bill at SIUE. I read most of what he wrote there for the school paper, the Alestle. His was, hands down, the most popular column on campus and always had that "personal" touch, which you can still see in his columns today. This book is a GREAT read. Each story is very well-written and so involved. Yet it takes just a short time to read each. It's wonderful to have handy when you want to kill just a few minuites reading (e.g., commercials during your favorite TV show). I've always enjoyed reading Bill's stuff and this book is no exception.
