One thing I've had to get used to while working at a magazine is that there's a gap between when you write a story and when it appears in print. This happened now and again in newspapers, but generally I would write something one day and it would be waiting for me on my doorstep at 6 a.m. the next morning. And obviously, the Internet moves even faster.
But magazines take time. And so while I've been working like mad the last few weeks, the results are only now beginning to show. This week, my story on Jose Bautista appears in the magazine, along with my back page column on Rory McIlroy.
-- You can download the magazine right now to your iPad (and if you are a subscriber with an iPad and you have not downloaded the amazing free app ... what are you waiting for?).
-- You can wait hungrily by the mailbox for your magazine to arrive (I highly recommend this).
-- Or you can get a sneak peek here.
I have another big story coming next week in our Where Are They Now issue. I'd give you a clue, but the problem with clues is that they tell you something without telling you anything.*
*Hint: That's the clue.
Coming later today (I hope): The 13 most dominant performances in sports.
