I just stumbled across something on Google than is a little scary.
In 1981 the Washington Star folded. The national baseball writer for the Star was out of work. He was offered a baseball writing job by the Chicago Tribune but at the last moment the Boston Globe offered him $600 a week.
The Tribune then hired Jerome Holtzman.
The writer you could have had?
Dan Shaughnessey :o:
He would still be selling copies of 'The Curse of the Billy Goat'
