Jayson Stark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jayson Stark is a sports reporter who covers baseball for ESPN.
He writes columns for ESPN.com and appears frequently on Baseball Tonight and SportsCenter.
Prior to joining ESPN, Stark worked for The Philadelphia Inquirer for 21 years. He was twice named Pennsylvania's sportswriter of the year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. His "Baseball Week in Review" was a staple of the Inquirer sports section for many years before his move to ESPN. The feature, which often took up an entire page, was a look at the offbeat, humorous and trivial news around Major League Baseball. One often-included feature was "Box Score Line of the Week" -- a look at the numbers behind a fantastic or dreadful performance by some player. Another occasional feature was the "Steve Jeltz Fan Club," a group of Philadelphia Phillies fans who idolized medicore shortstop Jeltz.
[edit] Trivia
- Stark has a book coming out in June about the most overrated and underrated players in baseball history.
- Jayson is a voter for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
