Jack Gibbons
“Calling the Pen” Writer & Editor
John Steadman, a minor-league catcher and major-league columnist, gave me my start as a sportswriter for The News American. A move to Philadelphia, where I became Night Sports Editor of the Philly Daily News, put me in an all-star lineup. A call to come home to Baltimore as Sports Editor gave me an opportunity to work with The Sun’s all-time best staff and to lead the paper’s coverage of Cal Ripken’s record-breaking streak. My streak ended after 46 years and opened a new chapter that includes running, writing and spending time with a family that has supported me each step of the way.
