Q&A with NYT's Tyler Kepner

[SheaSeals]

One of my favorite baseball guys out there. Have never met him, but seems like a good guy. Especially like his take on how to write gamers.

Thought this nugget was interesting.

• You’re walking through a mall and you see Ichiro making out with someone not named Mrs. Ichiro. What do you do with the info?: That’s actually happened—at least twice—although not with Ichiro. You try to avoid eye contact with the guy. If you do happen to make eye contact, you just sort of nod and look away. Then you never write about it.

And an outstanding pull on the Glenn Hubbard Fleer card reference.
