Re: Long Reads
I'm only 25% into this one, but it's already really good:
Some Mother's Boy
Some Mother's Boy
In 1921, a teenager died alone in Kentucky and was buried without a name. A century later, a team of sleuths set out to find his identity.

Re: Long Reads
Minor league hockey is my 2nd favorite thing to baseball. I wasn't sure whether to put this in "other sports" or here, but it's a long read about a reporter who traveled with an ECHL team. The ECHL is the minor pro league 2 rungs below the NHL (ECHL -> AHL -> NHL). For reference, I believe the Blues' AHL affiliate is the San Antonio Rampage and their ECHL affiliate is the Tulsa Oilers.
