BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Last Ride



If you can find this back issue of Sports Illustrated from 1998, get this. I have every single SI issue with the Bulls on the cover since 1990. This one of was one of the last from the old dynasty.

It has one of the best Chicago Bulls stories ever written; I kid you not.

If you've got friends and relatives who live in New York, there's a back issue bin along Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. They've got this one sale for $1.

That's Ron Harper, Scott Burrell, Scottie Pippen, and MJ on the cover.
