R.E. Graswich bridged the gap between politics and pro sports with his new book, "Vagrant Kings: David Stern, Kevin Johnson and the NBA's Orphan Team," an unprecedented inside account of how NBA Commissioner Stern and Sacramento Mayor Johnson anchored a transient, small-market team. An award-winning journalist for more than three decades, Graswich was a sportswriter and news columnist for The Sacramento Bee before branching into TV and radio in 2007. He worked almost four years on the Sacramento arena project as Special Assistant to Mayor Johnson before leaving to write "Vagrant Kings." Graswich lives in Northern California with his wife Elizabeth and children William and Robert.
