If you haven’t read SLM’s profile of Benjamin Hochman, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s new baseball writer, drop everything and read it now. The story may only be the ninth most-liked post on our Facebook page this week, but it’s drawing views and comments from around the sporting world. Peter King, Sports Illustrated's most authoritative voice on football, wrote in his Monday column that he’d “strongly recommend Hochman’s story. There is no deep secret to it, just that you’ve got to live. [SLM Senior Editor William] Powell does a great job telling the tale.”
But Hochman’s story is just one of the posts our readers liked this week. You can catch them all by liking St. Louis Magazine’s page on Facebook.
Here are the ten most-liked posts from SLM on Facebook for the week, October 14-21:
