…to the previous post:
American McCarver: absolutely no mention of Hideki Irabu. Mike Monterio did find time to reblog an old article about Andre the Giant from Modern Drunkard.
Grantland, the heavily hyped Bill Simmons led ESPN spinoff: absolutely no mention of Hideki Irabu. Wright Thompson did find time to write about the death of William Faulkner’s niece, and Jay Caspian Kang found time to write about Amy Winehouse. (Edited to add: to be fair, Kang’s piece was published before Irabu’s death.)
Right Field, the National Review Online spin-off sports blog: absolutely no mention of Hideki Irabu.
You would think someone would acknowledge, even if just in passing, the suicide of a starting pitcher for the New York Yankees at the relatively young age of 42.
