History:

Roger Kahn, born in 1927, grew up in Brooklyn where he attended prep school

and, like most of his fellow Brooklynites, rooted enthusiastically for the Dodgers.

He joined the New York Herald Tribune as a copy boy in 1948 and rose quickly to

become a baseball writer. He began to cover the Dodgers in 1952, and also

traveled with the other New York teams, the Giants and the Yankees. At the age

of 26, he was the newspaper's "star" sports reporter, making a salary of $10,000.

In 1956, Mr. Kahn was named sports editor of Newsweek magazine and then from

1963 to 1969 became editor at large of The Saturday Evening Post. For a decade

he wrote a monthly column for Esquire magazine. Five times his articles were

voted the best in the country and awarded the E.P. Dutton prize.

In 1972, he published The Boys of Summer, which became the country's number-

one best seller and a phrase that is now used hundreds of times by writers and fans

during the baseball season. Mr. Kahn's other books include a biography of Jack

Dempsey, a memoir of the season in which he owned a minor league baseball

team, a history of a student uprising at Columbia University and a recollection of

the era when the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants ruled the world. Three anthologies

are entirely devoted to some of the best of Mr. Kahn's writing.

In 2006 he was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. On that

occasion, Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig called Mr. Kahn "an icon of our

game." He lives in Stony Ridge with his wife and has two grown children; Alissa

Keenan, a ceramist, and Gordon J. Kahn, A.I.A., a prominent architect.
