DJ is price clipped. Roger Kahn (born October 31, 1927) is an American author. Kahn began his newspaper career in 1948, when he took a job at the New York Herald Tribune. A keen Dodgers fan, he reported on their games over the 1952 and 1953 seasons. He became sports editor for Newsweek in 1956, and editor-at-large of the Saturday Evening Post in 1963. His best-known book is The Boys of Summer (1972), which examines his relationship with his father seen through the prism of their shared affection for the Brooklyn Dodgers. In 2002, a Sports Illustrated panel placed The Boys of Summer second on a list of "The Top 100 Sports Books of All Time". In addition to The Boys of Summer, Kahn wrote books such as Good Enough to Dream, a chronicle of his year as the owner of a minor league baseball franchise. Kahn's 2006 book Into My Own is a memoir describing friendships with Robert Frost, Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, and Eugene McCarthy. He has won the E. P. Dutton Award for best sports magazine article of the year five times, and tied for first once. Derived from a Kirkus review: Kahn, a journalist during the Branch Rickey/Jackie Robinson era, knew the principals personally. Numerous times throughout this important narrative, he alludes to his experiences with them during and after their active days in baseball. Kahn shows all the ugliness of the pre-Robinson era and the ugliness of many of the Hall of Famers' experiences while with the Dodgers, especially during spring training travels in the South. Kahn names names-those players and others associated with the team who did not welcome Robinson and those who were more welcoming. Most came around, especially when Robinson's talents contributed to Dodger success. Kahn has kind words for Rickey, who orchestrated the signing and development of Robinson but who, later, was eased out of the Dodger organization by Walter O'Malley. Along the way, the author offers much cultural and diamond history-the Black Sox scandal of 1919, the tenure of commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, and the racial situation in Canada, where Robinson began his Dodger career. A gripping, informative blend of memoir and cultural history.
