I always enjoyed listening to his commentary - a local radio station would carry him once a week. He will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers to your family and his.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Deford back in 2006 when he gave a talk at a local college (DeSales University). After his speech I approached him with a book to be signed and I told him about an article I enjoyed that he wrote in Sports Illustrated about the Baltimore Orioles back in 1980 and he couldn't have been nicer..
RIP Frank

I really enjoyed Frank's book "The Old Ball Game" which was all about Mathewson and McGraw and how they were friends outside the ball field. Sharing family moments and everything.
RIP to a great sports writer. AndyH

I think folks will enjoy reading this Frank Deford appreciation piece by sports columnist Sally Jenkins that appears in today's Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...=.61711f140614
