Anyway, it may still be a worthwhile book, it's certainly by a well known author, but I'm just posting to let everyone know to maybe be a bit skeptical of any advice from an account with only a few posts or less.

TBH I still have a bad taste in my mouth regarding Posnanski for all of his work covering for Joe Paterno and the Notre Dame coaching squad during that horrible pedophilia scandal they had a few years ago. I get that JoePa was a lifelong hero to him but man, you're a reporter and when you hear about stuff like this, it's your duty to report it, not contribute to the coverup and then write apologia about the head of the program because, like, in spite of looking the other way when his DC was diddling kids in the shower you thought he gave good speeches and stuff.
