An amazing night of baseball: So how’s the writing?

Great events often lead to great writing. And just as you can go a long time without living through a night like last night’s baseball mayhem, you can go a long time without reading a response as good as my pal Joe Posnanski’s “Baseball Night in America at SI.com.

Bleacher Report’s National Lead Writer Dan Levy gives a master class on how to take an event and write forward-looking analysis with his piece “Dear Bud Selig: Don’t Ruin MLB Playoffs by Adding Teams. Signed, Yesterday.”

What’s the best piece you read or the best video you saw about Wednesday night’s end-of-season madness in Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Atlanta and Houston? Let us know in the comments.

    I actually had an article about how one amazing night of baseball didn’t make up for the other 161 boring games, but then I read Joe’s piece and it pretty much blew my idea to smithereens. The man is so good that it’s almost too intimidating to write anything after reading him.

    Good post…I like to comb the writing, too, after a big night or event. Nothing like a little drama to bring out the poets. Terrific article by Mr. Posnanski, or as I like to call him, the best sportswriter in the United States.
