Where Bad Sports Journalism Comes To Die

FJM is a closed forum, but we welcome reader feedback. We're especially interested in corrections of our work, and research (usually number-crunching) that we may not be able to do ourselves. Please check the comments section as well, where we often post readers' opinions, and, less frequently, announce that we were wrong about something. You can e-mail dak, Ken Tremendous, Junior, Matthew Murbles, or Coach individually.

You Didn't Want It -- You Got It!!

Here's a guy from San Diego who's really shaking thing's up a little. How? By writing a story about David Eckstein.

built like the batboy
little league lightweight
throws a baseball as if he were heaving a javelin
certified shrimp
sawed-off leadoff man
pestering presence
nothing fancy
maximum effort
enviable efficiency
gritty little gamer
inspiration
more ambition than aptitude
University of Florida walk-on
"man of iron"
no one would ever mistake Eckstein for a superstar
small ball
continues to crowd the plate despite accumulated bruises
seafood motif
