Dan Daniel (June 6, 1890 – July 1, 1981), born Daniel Margowitz, was an American sportswriter whose prolific contributions over a long period led him to be called the Dean of American Baseball Writers. Daniel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. His family moved to New York City when he was a boy, and he remained there throughout his career. He attended the City College of New York, where he managed the basketball team. Daniel received his first writing assignment with the ''New York Herald'' in 1909 at the age of 19. He decided to use a single-name byline, “By Daniel”, because editors in the early 20th century were concerned that anti-Semitism would hurt newspaper sales if he used his Jewish surname. ==1920s== By 1924, he had settled at the ''New York Telegram'', where he remained for the next forty years. In 1925, he won Best Story of the Year from the Baseball Writers Association of America for his portrayal of Walter Johnson's loss in the seventh game of the Washington Senators/Pittsburgh Pirates World Series match-up. In the early 1920s, Daniel helped start ''Ring Magazine'' with Nat Fleischer. He was a prolific contributor and editor throughout ''The Rings history and could be seen behind his desk at ''The Ring'' when he was well past the age of 80. In addition to his daily columns for the ''New York Telegram'' (later ''World Telegram'' then ''World Telegram and Sun''), Daniel wrote weekly columns for ''The Sporting News'', contributing more words to that publication than any other writer in its history. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dan Daniel (sportswriter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
