Lest we forget: Stan Isaacs

April 23, 2013

Ironically, I did forgot to post news about the passing of longtime sportswriter Isaacs when he passed away on April 2.

According to the obituary in The New York Times,

Isaacs was one of the Chipmunks, a group of young reporters, mainly in New York, who brought irreverence and daring to sports coverage beginning in the early 1960s.

Maybe that’s why Grantland reprinted this piece in which Isaacs “interviews” a young David after his ultimate fighting match with Goliath.

Books by Isaacs include Ten Moments That Shook the Sports World: One Sportswriter’s Eyewitness Accounts of the Most Incredible Sporting Events of the Past Fifty Years, published in 2008.
