This is what a hero (Mark Scutaro) looks like.
Just the other day, the redoubtable Pietro Benoit (who just happens to be the publisher of this fine electronic fishwrap) suggested I do an end-of-the-year column on the best sports stories of 2012. Good idea, I said. Which I have amended, slightly, to focusing on just one.
