Joshua Prager (writer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joshua Harris Prager (1971 – ) is a reporter for the Wall Street Journal and author of the book The Echoing Green: The Untold Story of Bobby Thomson, Ralph Branca and the Shot Heard Round the World, about the Shot Heard 'Round the World, a famous 1951 baseball playoff game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants.
Prager often writes of secrets. He revealed the unknown heir of Margaret Wise Brown, author of the classic children's book Goodnight Moon.[1] He confirmed the decades-long rumor that the New York Giants had stolen signs en route to the 1951 pennant[2]. And he tracked down the Iranian photographer Jahangir Razmi, the only anonymous winner in the history of the Pulitzer Prizes [3].
Prager is the nephew of commentator Dennis Prager.[1]
