Field of Schemes?: Joeurt Puk (aka Joe Cook) is the father of Cambodian baseball. In this feature by ESPN, Patrick Hruby looks into Cook's background and finds that Cook may not be the tireless philanthropist he claims to be.
Some more about Joe: - A blog comment in Cook's rambling writing style.
- An LA Times feature on Cook.
- A blog by Cook about Cambodia's baseball progress.
- A documentary about Joe's exploits (via MetaFilter).
Interesting story, thanks. Made more interesting by the fact that I'm taking up a job in Cambodia in a couple of months.
