Mike Fish is getting praise and awards for his 19,000-word, four-part
series on
Pat Tillman's death. "I think this is the most important story ESPN.com has ever done," says
Kevin Ball, the site's copy chief, who also worked with Fish on the story. "Because it goes beyond sports. And I think that's the greatest thing about sports -- it's not just about the field, but it's about life."
