July 21, 200817 yr One of Chicago's best sports writers ever, Jerome Hotlzman, died today at the age of 82. He was my favorite baseball writer.
July 21, 200817 yr 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.
July 22, 200817 yr If you wanted baseball info you looked to Jerry Holtzman. No one today compares for reliability and sources. We wont see his likes again.
July 22, 200817 yr Amazing career, I wish guys like that could make a living and get ratings, but minstead we get the Mariottis and Romes of the world.
July 22, 200817 yr Very sad news. He'a a legend and, unlike many of today's shock-jock style columnists, 100% class.
