This Week in “Oh, That’s Why People Put Up With the Shit Journalists Produce 99.9% of the Time”
During a recent fit of boredom I re-stumbled across what I consider the best Outside The Lines story ever.
In 2009, Patrick Hruby, best known for his long-form profiles of little-known personalities throughout sports, spent months with Cambodian refugee Joe Cook, who returned to his native country in an effort to start a national baseball program. Hruby embarked on the “feel-good” story of a lifetime, but quickly realized that he had stumbled across something much more complicated.
Click here to check out the story (and the rest of Hruby’s archives) for yourself. Although it’s lengthy, it’s a must-read for baseball fans.
