My Take
I have a soft spot for Joe Borowski, the kind of journeyman who earns his keep the hard way. A right-handed reliever out of Bayonne and Rutgers, he bounced through the Orioles, Braves, Yankees, Cubs, Devil Rays, Marlins and Indians, eventually shouldering the closer's role, the most nerve-shredding job in the game. That takes a certain coolness under fire that I find quietly heroic. What I like best is the second act: he became a broadcaster for the Diamondbacks. The pitcher who survived all those bullpens now reads the game for fans, and that lived-in wisdom surely makes him worth listening to.
