Great piece, thanks for sharing it. I don’t know if contemporary sports journalism approaches the level of Updike. It made me think of my dad who was a sports guy; in his 50s he returned to college to finish the journalism degree he gave up when his GI Bill funding ran out and he joined the work force. I pulled up and reviewed a work of his entitled: Journalists as Literary Artists. Good way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.
