I don't want to get too much into John Updike's life because he was a very polarizing figure (the New York Times obituary noted that he was called a misogynist, racist and apologist for the establishment). But one thing is certain: John Updike was a literary giant. He wrote the the best piece of sports writing I have ever read, and I strongly urge you to read it. Even if you don't like sportswriting, give it a chance. It's that good.
You can find the story in it's entirety here.
