I'm on page 35 of "Into My Own" by Roger Kahn. Kahn is widely considered the best baseball writer ever. Why? Primarily because he wrote "The Boys of Summer" - widely considered the best baseball book ever.
Here's more on "The Boys of Summer" from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Boys-Summer-Roger-Kahn/dp/0060914165.
Kahn, a sportswriter, starts his memoir with a line from Robert Frost:
They would not find me changed from him they knew - Only more sure of all I thought was true. - "Into my Own," Robert Frost
Because, Kahn is not just an excellent sportswriter. He's an excellent writer. Period. MH
