My first story for ESPN.com, where I'm now a regular columnist, was about David Beckham. It's much easier to pitch an article that has the pull of a big name. Part of the piece concerned Beckham possibly coming to LA one day.While I think that Beckham, like his friend Jovan Kirovski (who was also featured in the article), might find MLS more difficult than he had anticipated, I'll be glad to see him if the move to MLS works out. Becks took the time back then to talk to a lot of reporters, and in my case, helped me get through the door a little.
