Reporter Thor (!) Nystrom interviews noted University of Kansas alumnus C.J. Moore on his remarkable success in 2007 as an "assistant beat reporter" covering the Colorado Rockies. Moore shares these thoughts:
One of Moore’s favorite activities during the season was observing fan bases from opposing team’s making the trip to Coors Field. He said Cubs fans were absolutely obnoxious alcoholics and that more people were kicked out of the stadium for fighting during the Chicago series than the rest of the season combined.
And this:
Moore was particularly critical of Yankees fans, who the Rockies swept in June: “I call these people fans, but they aren’t really fans. What they are is sports bigamists. They are people not from New York who grow up and see that the Yankees are winning World Series and doing well. So they say ‘I want to root for a winner, the team in my town isn’t good, and so I will root for the Yankees.’ It’s an awful thing to do — like spitting in your mother’s face.”
Oh, and this:
Moore, who won 5th in spot news and 2nd in sports writing in the national Hearst Awards while at Kansas, has had conversations with varied baseball luminaries such as Bob Uecker, Woody Paige, Jay Mariotti, Jayson Stark, George Brett, Lou Pinella and Scott Boras while in Colorado.
We try not to critically link to college newspapers, as they are what they are and shouldn't be held to the same standards as big boy papers. But ...
1. C.J., should the "assistant beat reporter" be yapping like a third-rate columnist on Around the Horn, or whatever that show is called?
2. Woody Paige and Jay Mariotti are "baseball luminaries"?Labels: Chicago Cubs, Daily Kansan, Jay Mariotti, New York Yankees, Woody Paige
