Jim Caple

Jim Caple is a columnist and senior writer for ESPN.com.[1] He has worked previously with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Caple attended R.A. Long High School in Longview, Washington[2] before becoming a graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle.

Caple has written a book The Devil Wears Pinstripes (ISBN 0-452-28598-4) which, according to Amazon.com, "takes on the rabid fans of baseball’s twenty-six-time World Champions, and offers a decidedly different slant on the New York Yankees—the losers of thirteen World Series." Caple has also delighted in the misery of Red Sox Nation when he said in mid-June 2012 that the Red Sox being in last place may be the best thing he saw for the season.[3]

Caple, always the consummate professional and all around good guy, has also offered sage advice to readers with tidbits such as, "I don't think it's appropriate to walk up to a stranger and say, 'Hey, you look fat. Mind if I carry you around for awhile?'"[4]
