Former NBA All-Star Vin Baker's Journey to Sobriety

Former NBA All-Star Vin Baker's Journey to Sobriety

Guideposts — (Ghostwritten celebrity cover story): What's the best job I ever had? The answer might seem obvious. From 1993 to 2006, I was a professional basketball player, a four-time NBA All-Star. I went to the playoffs multiple times with the Seattle SuperSonics and the New York Knicks and won a gold medal representing the United States in the 2000 Olympics.

Andrew McCutchen: The Faith to Follow Through

Guideposts — (Ghostwritten celebrity cover story): If you follow Major League Baseball you know me as the all-star center fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates (or as "Cutch").

Super Mario: The Running Coach Who Bolstered Her Faith

Guideposts — I was at the starting line of the New York City Marathon, the largest and most prestigious one in the world. Runners were everywhere, stretching, jogging in place, tightening shoelaces.

My Inner Spartan

My Inner Spartan

Guideposts — I was sprawled facedown in the center-field dirt at Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets, where professional baseball players slugged home runs and made SportsCenter Top 10 catches. Where amateur athletes were strutting their stuff for the day in the Spartan Sprint, a popular obstacle race. I’d signed up for the race, but that must have been in a fit of insanity. Or stupidity.

Who is Lisa Swan? And what is "At Least I'm Brave" all about?

Substack.com — Last year, despite the pandemic, I still managed to cross 60 finish lines! Yet I am the opposite of a natural athlete. What I do have, more than anything else, I think, is bravery, although sometimes it is, indeed, foolish bravery! Thus, the name of this Substack: At Least I'm Brave.

The redemption of A-Rod

The redemption of A-Rod

Washington Post Opinions — Lisa Swan co-writes Subway Squawkers, a Yankees-Mets fan blog. Alex Rodriguez was the kind of figure who brings Americans together: Just months ago, the superstar Yankees third baseman was, by unanimous consent, a national villain. He had received the longest suspension in MLB history for his use of performance-enhancing drugs, missing the entire 2014 season.
