The Chicago Cubs (Writing Baseball)
“Warren William Brownwas the Mencken of the sports page. Unlike many of his colleagues, he was an independent thinker, a sophisticated loner who often wrote with a blistering pen, sparing neither friend nor foe. Baseball was his principal turf, but he was knowledgeable in all the major sports and for more than a half century had a front row seat at all of the big events.”—Jerome Holtzmanfrom the Foreword
