Tales from the Minnesota Sports Beat

Patrick Reusse is THE sportswriter of the Minnesota cynic. He has never been afraid to call out sports owners. executives, managers, and players for arrogance, incompetence, or self-inflected issues. On the other hand, he's the same sportswriter who loves to write about town baseball, or rags to success stories where the individual worked hard and excelled to get a chance to the next level, whatever it is. This book is a breezy recap of his life. It's a pretty quick read, with bunches of stories of his time covering a variety of sports.

I've been a fan of Mr. Reusse for over 30 years, so this was fun. A worthy read for Minnesota sports fans.
