I liked Glanville as a player, but even more as a writer . . . great insight on the game of the head and heart.

Nice story, thanks for the link Craig. Often pictures are painted as either black or white but reality is tinged with all shades of gray. Reasons are his own for doing what he did and sometimes we just don’t understand where a person is coming from but that’s the way life is. Glanville is great as both a writer and his commentary on ESPN.

THere are fewer more thoughtful guys than Glanville. Love reading his work.

Good read. I wonder if knowing that will mean anything to Byrd.

I loved this part in the article, too:

“Byrd was in my group of four hitters. I was slated to lead off as the veteran in the group. I declined. I told Byrd to “step in there, rook.” Floyd drilled him. Lesson learned: Never hit first against an excited rookie early in camp.”
