I did a Google search to see how much of my old freelance writing work was still out there, so that I might present it here for your amusement. Not much, it would appear. But here is a piece from 2001 called "The Ballad of Bill Lee" because it's baseball season, and because it's a funny, bittersweet read, taking place at Le Stade Olympique
in Montreal on Opening Day of that year. Sadly, the Expos are no more. Click on title or baseball card to launch:
The Ballad of Bill Lee
The former Boston and Montreal left-hander on the Sox, Fenway, and smokin’ with Dubya
By J.M. Dobies
Originally published April 19, 2001 in The Boston Phoenix Red Sox Supplement, and subsequently as a cover story in both the Portland and Worcester Phoenix. This is the version on my website, jmdobies.com, with the original photos from the piece.
Dedicated to the memory of Les Expos.
