Last Wednesday night, I finished reading “The Best American Sports Writing 2008″ edited by William Nack with Glenn Stout as Series Editor. The book is a collection of the best sports feature articles of 2008 found in magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Esquire, The New Yorker, and Men’s Health. I’ve been a huge fan of this series since I received “The Best American Sports Writing 1991″ 17 years ago as pasalubong from the states. Read the rest of this entry »
