Steele moving after all these years

Sports columnist David Steele has written his last article for the San Francisco Chronicle. He's moving all the way back east to the Baltimore Sun. Steele's been one of my favorites in the Sporting Green: reasoned, tough, never flashy, always thoughtful. I first turned on to him when he was the Chron's Warriors beat writer; he's probably the best day-in-day-out basketball writer I've read. As a columnist, he showed that he was pretty smart about a number of other sports too.

I'm sure he'll still be readable online at the Sun's site, but I'll miss him as part of my daily Chron-crawl at SF Gate. Best wishes, Mr. Steele, and thanks for all the good words.
