Kevin M. Baerson: Favorites From My Flash Drive

 "Kevin, what do you know about soccer?" my editor barked.

"Well, I..." He cut me off in mid-sentence. "The team that scores the most goals wins. Go cover the state championship." I'll never forget bobbing and weaving through the on-field mirth, in search of the victorious coach. "How does it feel"  was the best I could do. Yet his riposte flew as if he had captured the World Cup...In other news, getting paid to watch baseball and eat free hotdogs was a big shangri la moment for me. But it was usurped by a panic attack when the club's PR guy invited me to the locker room to interview the winning pitcher.
