For my recent birthday, my lovely mother bought me a book which has lightened my otherwise relatively gloom existense recently (the time between the Super Bowl and the start of baseball season is always the toughest of the year).
The author is now one of the marquee names at ESPN.com, but Bill Simmons, a.k.a. the Sports Guy, came from a much humbler sport journalism background.
His book, Now I Can Die In Peace, sees him go through his Sports Guy Red Sox blogs, from the beginning on AOL.com in Boston, up to the World Series win in 2004.
It is a very funny book, and I'll add some snippets as I read it - but it is time for bed now, as it is way, way too late for me now....I know, I've turned into a wuss.
