In 2001, New York Times sports feature writer-columnist Ira Berkow won a Pulitzer Prize for national sports reporting for his series “How Race Is Lived in America-The Minority Quarterback,” and was a Pulitizer finalist in 1988 for distinguished commentary. He has been the only sportswriter featured for five decades (since 1969) in the highly regarded Best American Sports Writing, and was featured in David Halberstam?s 1999 edition of “The Best American Sports Writing of the Century.”

A New York Times writer-columnist for 24 years, Berkow wrote the best-selling book, “Hank Greenberg: The Story of My Life,” which was the foundation for the year-2000 award-winning documentary film: “The Life & Times of Hank Greenberg.” Among the books Berkow has authored: “Red: A Biography of Red Smith,” “Rockin Steady” (Walt Frazier story), “Court Vision, To The Hoop: The Seasons of a Basketball Life,” “The Senator With A Jump Shot” (Bill Bradley story), “The Gospel According to Casey” (Casey Stengel), and “The Minority Quarterback & Other Lives In Sports” (based upon his Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times series).
