From Gayl Heinz comes a letter that Howard Cosell once sent to her father, Bill (better known as W.C. Heinz). It concerns a Mets game back in 1962.
The handwritten P.S. from Cosell reads: “The gist of the mail and calls was…at last we understand Stengelese.”
I remember listening to Howard on the radio when I was a kid. WABC, every weekday, when he did "Speaking of Sports."
Alex, did you read that David Remnick piece in the New Yorker about Cosell this week?
2) Yeah, I did. I wasn't impressed. It was far from terrible and he was even-handed in his take on Cosell but overall, the piece seemed thin. I don't have it in front of me so I'm sorry I can't be more specific. But I was left feeling, "eh."
[3] It was a brief piece, but it made me want to read more about Cosell again.
