Passions with A.J. Jacobs

Posted on July 26, 2018 by Joe Posnanski

Episode 2 of Passions in America drops today; I talk with the brilliant A.J.

BB stands for Barry Bonds

Posted on July 24, 2018 by Joe Posnanski

The Novak Principle

Posted on July 15, 2018July 15, 2018 by Joe Posnanski

The intensity always comes and it always surprises. What happens is this: I begin watching Novak Djokovic play in a big match and, you know, whatever, right? Yes, I like Djokovic. But I like a lot of men’s tennis players — Federer, Nadal, Monfils, del Potro, Anderson, Nishikori, Thiem, Zverev, on and on, heck, I’ve…

Here comes da Judge

Posted on July 7, 2018July 9, 2018 by Joe Posnanski

First, you might check this out: I wrote something about Aaron Judge over on MLB. The basic premise is that Judge is having a weird year. He’s absolutely crushing the ball at home.
