Please explain that reference. Thanks.

Does anyone have any insight into how those BASW books performed? As in how many copies were sold every year?

 

[Songbird]

Are 28 of the first 29 guest editors going to be men?

I lost enthusiasm for the series when my non-sportswriter wife made the honorable mention one year for a magazine feature while I never got a whiff in all my full-time sportswriting years. When this comes up at the dinner table I start throwing the vegetables.

BASW lost its luster when KVV's story on Adam Muema was left out. It was the best American sports story of 2014. It was so riveting. Ballsy reporting too.

Guessing now wouldn’t be the time to mention I reached honorable mention the first year I submitted….

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

No stories about Wyoming Cowboys football.

Any 40,000-word stories on how a guy idolized Greg Maddux and said hi to him once?

Same. First and only time here!

A little weird that almost none of the stories on that list are about either COVID or the social justice protests, easily the two biggest stories in the sports world in 2020.

 

[Octave]

it's almost like the publication is centered around boutique journalism

Given the increasingly self-important nature of the series, I'd be stunned if there really are no stories about the pandemic or social justice protests.

What I don't get about the very worthy folks, many of whom I know, involved in this project, is that they don't select for TYPE of writing. Long feature, column, gamer, stories on tightest deadlines, enterprise, etc., etc. That'd be more realistic and frankly a way better read.

That's very kind of you.

The series was kind enough to misspell my name in notables twice over the years, which seems like its own badge of honor.

Awards culture seems pretty...2010 or something. Yeah.

BASW is quite possibly the only sports-related entity that hasn’t misspelled my name!
