When I first saw Patrick Hruby’s long piece for ESPN on Doc Ellis I thought to myself: Do we really need another Doc Ellis story? Then I read it and was duly impressed.
Hruby is a talented writer. Check out this story for Sports on Earth on why he won’t be watching football this year; or this piece on professional video game players, or ”Murder By Cricket” which was featured in The Best American Sports Writing 2008.
Yeah, Hruby is a good one.
