Posnanski on Rose (or, maybe, Rose on Rose)

Holding court with the hit king.

Just wanted to post this.
I realize Posnanski may be able to knock out the whole thing in an afternoon.
The transcription can't be a picnic. I hate transcription.
Still, it's basically single-sourced.
It's simple.
It's not hard.
But this is the most fun I've had reading a story in a while.

Don't know what the discussion should be here.
Only that, for me, this is great sportswriting.
I guess, for those who agree or disagree, why?
I think I'm trying to understand why I find it so engrossing.
Thanks.

 

Love the kicker on that piece.
