Jayson Stark

From Wiki Gonzalez

Jayson Stark is the man who covers the Frank Tanana beat for ESPN and ESPN.com.

Stark was a regular baseball columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer (as well as Baseball America) for many years. He followed the lead of Peter Gammons by seeking fame and fortune in Bristol, CT. Nevertheless, he still works many Philly references into his loosely-structured "Rumblings and Grumblings" columns, and apparently maintains good contacts with ex-Phillies Doug Glanville and Curt Schilling.

General Primate opinion of Stark is that, despite a weakness for cutesy trivialities like the Tanana bit, he's a good baseball journalist without many axes to grind. It also helps that, unlike fellow ESPN.com baseball columnists Peter Gammons and Rob Neyer, his ESPN.com columns remain free to the general public and regularly appear as threads on Baseball Think Factory for analysis and critique.
