NorthSideSox72 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 One of Chicago's best sports writers ever, Jerome Hotlzman, died today at the age of 82. He was my favorite baseball writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The man was a legend, a Hall of Famer, the guy who invented the Save statistic. Chicago baseball fans were lucky to have in town for many, many years. He was close friends with Jerry Reinsdorf and Bud Selig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaus kinski Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 If you wanted baseball info you looked to Jerry Holtzman. No one today compares for reliability and sources. We wont see his likes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Very sad news. He'a a legend and, unlike many of today's shock-jock style columnists, 100% class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
