Ed Linn, “The Kid’s Last Game”

Sport

January 1961

In my opinion, Linn’s article is superior and a lot more informative than John Updike’s well known piece: “Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu” (The New Yorker, October 22 1960).

Acknowledgment:

This was a very hard article to procure. ((I was a devoted reader of Sport magazine back in those days). Paul Friedman,, a research librarian at the New York Public Library, went out of his way to copy the article for me. The library has a full run of old Sport issues — the actual magazines — which require photocopying.

“Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu” is regarded as a classic. I would say, “Great effort.”
