Boswell (born October 11, 1947, in Washington, D.C. ) is an American sports columnist. Boswell has spent his entire career at the Washington Post, joining it shortly after graduating from Amherst College in 1969. He became a Post columnist in 1984. Writing primarily about baseball, he is credited with inventing the total average statistic. In 1994 he appeared several times in the Ken Burns series Baseball, sharing insightful commentary into the history of America's national pastime; he appeared again in "The Tenth Inning, " Burns' 2010 extension of the series. In addition to the Post, he has written for Esquire, GQ, Playboy and Inside Sports. He also makes frequent television appearances. This is his fourth baseball collection, and includes articles on Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, Barry Bonds, Mike Mussina, Orel Hershiser, the World Series, and the Baltimore Orioles, among many others. Thomas Boswell, longtime "Washington Post" syndicated sports columnist, has been called "an astute observer of the human condition disguised as a first-rate sportswriter." Boswell has handpicked his best baseball pieces of the past five years to create a collection that will be must reading for fans across the country. These pieces, from "The Washington Post" and national magazines, are arranged thematically so there is a narrative flow to the book and cover everything from Fay Vincent's ouster to Pete Rose's gambling to the Bo Jackson saga to the return of Steinbrenner. "Cracking The Show" confirms that when it comes to baseball, Boswell is in a league by himself. It's a sure hit for the 1995 baseball season. "Boswell...is the thinking person's writer about the thinking person's sport...inexhaustibly interesting and fun."--George Will.
