Lest we forget: Daniel Rapoport

May 9, 2012

From The Washington Post:

Daniel Rapoport, a Washington journalist, author and publisher who in 1983 founded Farragut Publishing to produce non-blockbuster and out-of-the-ordinary books ranging from pasta salad and cold soup cookbooks to a history of U.S. presidents’ connections with baseball, died April 11 at his home in East Chatham, N.Y. He was 79.

The writer is referring specifically to Baseball: The Presidents’ Game, by Paul Dickson and William Mead.

Before its closing in 2007, Farragut Publishing had published more than 20 nonfiction books. Baseball: The Presidents’ Game (1993)… explored connections between U.S. presidents and baseball, beginning with George Washington, who as an Army general played catch with troops at Valley Forge.
