David Halberstam Killed in Car Crash

Posted By: Brett Thompson

Like many here, I was saddened by the loss of David Halberstam. He was a tremendous journalist and a pretty fair writer. While I enjoyed 'Summer of '49', I preferred 'October 1964'. My favorite Halberstam book was 'Breaks of the Game', his account of a season with the Portland Trailblazers back in the Walton years.

He seemed to be a reporter at heart. His writing was simple and to the point. For truly great baseball writing I turn to Roger Angell. For good research and solid writing, Halberstam was one of the best. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family and to the young man who was driving him when the accident occurred.
