The Passing Of John Updike
By Beaker
In “Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu” John Updike begins,
“Fenway Park, in Boston, is a lyric little bandbox of a ballpark. Everything is painted green and seems in curiously sharp focus, like the inside of an old-fashioned peeping-type Easter egg. It was built in 1912 and rebuilt in 1934, and offers, as do most Boston [...]
Lost Punks and Nasty Dunks

Ovechkin’s Town
By Alex
If I was a writer left to choose an assignment for a fancy sports magazine (the type that serves flavored bagels and beer), I would want to have a look at what’s going on in Washington with the Capitals. If that gig was not available, the revival of the Chicago Blackhawks after years of [...]
