Best Baseball Writers
2003-12-01 18:03
by Will Carroll

I'm curious ... who are the BEST baseball writers, the one's you always have to read and revel in. Not just the ones that give you info, but the ones that actually have the chops too. There aren't many Gammons or Angells out there, but I don't want to miss any either ...

Here's mine, in no particular order:

Angell - amazing and lyrical, yet not cheesed.
Gammons - informed, but still writes with young passion.
Barra - strong opinion, no one smacks people better.
Belth - emerged with the most original, fully formed voice.
Sheehan - consistently raises his bar.
Zumsteg - few make me both think AND laugh out loud.
Caple - here's the other that can make me think and laugh.
Berardino - among the best in his columnic format.

Now - what's yours? All reading this must name at least one! :)
