an ode to Harold Ballard

I am in the process of reading Al Strachan's Why The Leafs Suck And How They Can Be Fixed and this quote about Harold Ballard made me laugh pretty hard:

If we were to go through every mistake that Ballard made, every impropriety that he committed, every insult to the long-suffering fans that he inflicted, this book would make War and Peace look like a Post-It note.

Well said, Al, well said. More of my thoughts on this book to come...
