Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Or as poet turned Expo, Petrarchi Cianfrocco, once said about Holtzman and the Save rule…“There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a Thigpen.”
The Chicago White Sox will pay tribute this week to the late Jerome Holtzman and his career as a sportswriter covering Major League Baseball.
At a private ceremony Friday for his friends and former colleagues, the White Sox will unveil a display case at the entrance of the White Sox front office that will feature photos, headlines and artifacts, including a typewriter from Holtzman’s working days as one of the nation’s most respected sportswriters.
Holtzman wrote for Chicago newspapers for more than 50 years, and is credited with creating baseball’s “save” statistic. He passed away on July 19, 2008.
