So here’s a fun exercise. Read this article from Nick Groke. Then do a “ctrl-f” to search the page and see if the words “Ian” or “Desmond” appear in the article. Then, if this is applicable to you, think back to the times that readers, fans, or even fellow writers passive aggressively took digs at you because, in their eyes, you hadn’t given Desmond his due as a great clubhouse guy because you pointed out that his results on the field were objectively bad.
Why wouldn’t Desmond be the authority on this topic, then, as Nick Groke takes a look at the role of clubhouse culture in wins and losses?
