Autorenporträt
Jerome Holtzman was named the first official historian for Major League Baseball in June 1999 by Commissioner Bud Selig. Holtzman covered baseball as a beat writer and columnist for more than 56 years in Chicago. After 38 years at the Chicago Sun-Times (and the Daily Times) he joined the Chicago Tribune staff from 1981-1999. Holtzman was a weekly contributor to the Sporting News for more than 30 years and had hundreds of stories published in periodicals such as Sports Illustrated, the Saturday Evening Post, Sport , and Baseball Digest. In 1989 the Baseball Hall of Fame presented Holtzman the J.G. Taylor Spink Award given annually to the one baseball writer who has exhibited "meritorious contributions to baseball writing." In 1959, Holtzman invented the 'save' for relief pitchers, which became an official statistic in 1966. Holtzman has written six books previously, most notably No Cheering in the Press Box. Holtzman still lives in the Chicago area with his wife, Marilyn.
