ST. LOUIS — As I sat across from Vinko Bogataj at a St. Louis coffeeshop, I just kept thinking — how the hell is he here today?
Not because the 74-year-old man lives in a small village in Slovenia, but, like — how did he survive that crash in the first place?
See, Bogataj is "the agony of defeat" guy. For sports fans of a certain generation, he was a notable part of their world (well, wide world).
