Interviewing the Interviewer
Sports Media Guide interviews Derrick Goold, beat writer for the St. Louis Cardinals. His comments on Albert Pujols are quite interesting.
i seem to remember a comment in the new historical abstract in which James mentions that talented, young athletes are always the objects of praise regarding their character, regardless of whether or not they deserve it. he then mentions that all kinds of things were being written about what a great young man pujols was. am i remembering that correctly? if so, it's kinda funny that he has such a combative relationship with the press now...
