Ride With Robbers Auto Yarn From East Boston Shop
Harris Budner recalls a muggy August day in East Boston when a car pulled up for a torn top and four men abducted him from his cobbler shop. He was beaten, stripped, and left in the marshes before being found by a passerby and police. He survived and now only repairs tops for customers with strong references.

It critiques writers for condescending tones and highlights biographers and ghostwritten works about Babe Ruth, McGraw, and others. The piece cites anecdotes from Fox, racing, and college figures, and reflects on the public’s appetite for sports writing.
