Haha...good stuff.
I was privileged to work with Mickey Herskowitz at the dearly departed Houston Post off and on for almost two decades. He was then and remains my favorite columnist. He's a terrific writer and a gifted storyteller. He's written quite a few books, I see 35 listed but I'd bet it's more. He ghostwrote Howard Cosell's autobiography, co-authored bios with Bette Davis and George W Bush.
He's in his mid-80s now but as recently as 2015 was going strong as a speaker when I saw him at a local SABR chapter meeting.
Thanks for prompting some wonderful memories.
