I Want to Write Like This

Sure, it's more than a month and a half old, but I just read this SI cover story by Joe Posnanski this weekend. I like to think I approximate the way he writes, or at least that I soon will. This guy is good, and although this is the only piece of his that I've read so far, I want his writing style.

(Given that Indianapolis is, by most accounts, better than Cleveland, I won't have to write a story quite like this one. Hopefully.)
