The Heinz Files

A site called Alex Belth's Bronx Banter is going to run a series of original manuscripts by W.C. Heinz, and it starts today. As they say, enjoy:

Edit: Sorry for the earlier "mailto" link.

 

Never heard of him. Does he write for Grantland? Is he big enough to warrant a BioFile?

 

Sounds like the kind of writer who won't listen to a recent college grad... just one of those old guys who know everything...

 

Thank You.

 

My guess is these stories will all be from this handy little collection everyone should own: http://www.amazon.com/What-Time-Was-W-c-Heinz/dp/0306810433/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311667430&sr=1-2

I can't say enough about it. If you own any single sports writer's "best of" collection, make it this one.

Of note: Alex Belth was the editor for Pat Jordan's "best of" collection, which is also worth a read.

 

That's a great frackin' story!!

Bookmarked. Can't wait for the rest.

Just ordered the collection, too... an excellent used copy for ONE cent! Unreal.

Thanks for sharing, SFE.

 

Sirs, Madames,

If you go to the old Best Sports Stories series, you'll find a few Heinz stories that don't show up in his collections. I read a great one about Marciano the other day.

YHS, etc

 

Wonderful writing _ many thanks for the heads-up.

 

Belth is on Twitter and sent me this earlier today:

I read "One Throw" earlier, and I guess it was the anthology book. Even if you can see it coming, it's still great watching Heinz set it up.
