                               I Just watched Mychael

                                                             Urban, whose reporting I typically find

         less than Spectacular, do an

outsTanding

           Interview

                                                       iN which some of the most personal

              

questions I’ve ever seen poseD to a pro

                                                                  athlete – qUestions that if misphrased

                                                                                         Could have been disastrous --

             were asked with the most enligHtened touch and

                                                         Sensitivity. 

                                    The depth of Character and

                                             clarity with whicH these most delicate

as a ballplayer and aS a man.

                              To express the cOmplexity of feeling a

                                                                                frOm a child when one is oneself a child

                                            of an Ugly and acrimonious

                             Divorce

 

                                    is no easy Task – particularly in

a public situatiOn --

 

                    and I couldn’t heLp but find myself
