The Writer's Life 11/18 - Follow the Money

“Follow the Money.” How many times has it been said in terms of crime and corruption? It seems to apply to apply to sex as well. Charlie Sheen has paid an estimated ten million bucks to blackmailers to keep his being HIV-positive a secret. Even a rich guy has limits. In addition to the two page spread on his antics, the NY Post ran a brief article on the rise of STD’s. Nothing in the piece suggests Sheen is responsible for the spike all by himself.

It looks like Phil Jackson was right in making Kristaps Porzingis the Knicks’ number one pick, and all those in the gallery who booed were wrong. Twelve games into his career he is averaging almost 13 points and eight rebounds per game, and the team is a surprising 6-6. Continued success, young man.

I know this is essentially meaningless, but how did Terry Collins finish third in the Manager of the Year voting behind Pat Matheny of the Cardinals, whose team was expected to finish first? I have no beef with the Cubs’ Joe Maddon being honored, but should Matheny have received even one first place vote?

My thanks to the gentleman who purchased George Washington, Gentleman Warrior by Stephen Brumwell, the only sale of the day. He was a bit concerned about a a warning in the upper right hand corner of the cover: "Unproofed Copy, Not for Sale." I've read several of those and did not spot any or no more than the usual errors. My thanks also to the Lady Eve, who donated a large pictorial on the baseball Hall of Fame. Although the spine is a bit damaged, it should sell.
