Best American Sports Writing 2005
A quick read while cashiering at the co-op. Because of limited time, I just read the pieces that Dusty had bookmarked for whatever reason: "The Wound and the Bow" by David Shields, "Duel in the Sun" by John Brant, and about half of "Why We Must Listen" by Michael Rosenberg. I really liked the first two but had trouble getting past the uncomfortably short sentences in the Rosenberg piece. Which is too bad, because he makes a series of important points and I kind of missed out.
