Stephen King might be a master of horror and suspense, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy a good ball game. In fact, King is a longtime fan of the Red Sox, going so far as to co-write "Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season" with Stewart O'Nan. Maybe it's his dedication to his favorite ball team that prompted him to appear in this new Sports Center commercial, set to debut on ESPN on Monday.
"Ghost writer" -- heh. And out in time for Halloween.
Thanks to the literary blog Syntax of Things, which found the video here.
