S.L. PRICE: “In The Country Of Lacrosse”

Send us Fan MailDid I think that I would read a 500 page book about lacrosse? Uh, no.  But if S.L.(Scott) Price is writing it, I’m reading it.Scott has long been one of our preeminent writers about people through the prism of sports, primarily during his more than two decades at Sports Illustrated.  There were more than a few chapters before he became a must read for so many of us.  There was an early love of reading and newspapers, a cross country trip that fortuitously included a stop at Chapel Hill, NC and a subsequent stint as the college newspaper’s sports editor, covering some sophomore basketball player named Michael Jordan.  When college was done and Scott was back at home waiting tables, those college newspaper articles about Michael Jordan led to a phone call that opened the door to the rest of his life.Lucky for us.
