Good morning!
Back in the day when kids stood on street corners hawking newspapers, Boston sports fans regularly turned to an erudite columnist named George Frazier. Educated at Boston Latin and Harvard, Frazier wrote for the Herald Traveler and the Boston Globe, and later for Esquire and Life magazine.
In Boston he coined the term “duende” for a level of class attained by few people or places. Ted Williams had it, but Stan Musial did not. Celtics center Bill Russell had it, Wilt Chamberlain did not. Nantucket had duende; Martha’s Vineyard did not.
