One of the pitfalls of writing a book for and about the Common Fan is that the Common Fan already knows most of what Leitch has to say. We know that owners like Peter Angelos, who has famously enraged fans by treating the Baltimore Orioles like a business venture rather than a source of city pride, are detrimental to the spirit of professional sports. It is common knowledge that athletes like LeBron are not “just like us” and never will be; they...
