In most sports, there are athletes built for the long haul, and those who dazzle in quick, mercurial bursts. Track and field has distance specialists and sprinters. Baseball has starting pitchers, setup men, and closers. Based on anecdotal evidence collected from 40-odd years immersed in sports literature, I suspect sportswriters fall into roughly the same categories. Like the starting pitcher who is awkwardly relegated to the bullpen, some writers aren't a great fit for every project. Lars Anderson, author of "Carlisle vs. Army," is a case in point.
