Track and field has distance specialists and sprinters. Baseball has starting pitchers, setup men, and closers. Based on anecdotal evidence collected from 40-odd years immersed in sports literature, I suspect sportswriters fall into roughly the same categories. Like the starting pitcher who is awkwardly relegated to the bullpen, some writers aren't a great fit for every project. Lars Anderson, author of "Carlisle vs. Army," is a case in point.
