Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan

I read an interview w/ Pat Jordan on Deadspin and was sufficiently intrigued to get his most recent book at the library. The articles span a 35 year period and topics as diverse as hall of fame pitchers, professional poker players, professional pool players, child beauty queens, and post-trial OJ. Since it's an anthology I immediately read the Steve Carlton article b/c he didn't talk to the media for most of his playing career. He comes off not only as delusional about his pitching (thinking he can still pitch in 1994 when he couldn't pitch in the last few years of his career in the 80s) but also about government conspiracies against him. I was hooked at this point. This isn't your typical sports reporting. When Peter Gammons writes an article about the real life Natural, Pat Jordan comes along a few years later and interviews Toe Nash in jail. Then he interviews the girl who accused him of the rape. He also interviews a woman who gives a less than flattering portrayal of Nash and his sexual transgressions. The only movie this guy fits into is a Lifetime movie of the week. Bloggers haven't suddenly exposed this underbelly of the sports world. Pat Jordan has chronicled it for years.
