Assuming the topic was “The Phillies Spectacular 10-game Road Trip,” Bill began quite… Conlin-y, in that bouncy descriptive manner you can tell he leans back and nods at on the computer screen, assuming he doesn’t just shout his column word-for-word through the telephone to a transcribing editorial assistant, periodically reminding them that his paycheck is in all likelihood more than anyone deserves to write about the Phillies.
Then it kind of tailspinned into a general recap of Bill’s life a few decades ago, and, then it just… ended. After insinuating that yes; they do smoke weed in San Francisco. Oh Bill! So risque!
And I couldn’t help but picture Mr. Martin of Honors History in room 216 staring down at the mess and ominously uncapping his red pen.
Justin is a tall gentleman whose baseball playing career came to a close after he realized he was too cool for baseball anyway. He discovered writing about the sport was far less humiliating than playing it as no one would have to ask him why he "runs like that."
