- Leonard_Koppett abstract "Leonard Koppett (September 15, 1923 - June 22, 2003) was a 20th Century sportswriter.Born in Moscow, Koppett moved with his family from Russia to the United States when he was five years old. They lived in The Bronx, New York, a block away from Yankee Stadium, sparking his early interest in sports.A graduate of Columbia University, he was a reporter and columnist for the New York Herald Tribune, the New York Post, The New York Times, the Peninsula Times Tribune, and The Sporting News, and he authored 16 books on sports. He also published a number of magazine articles. His writings have been noted for their intellectual rigor, social commentary, and wit.Best known were his works on baseball: Concise History of Major League Baseball (1998, updated through 2004) and The Thinking Fan's Guide to Baseball (originally titled A Thinking Man's Guide to Baseball, 1967, renamed for gender neutrality and updated several times through 2004) are considered definitive works on the game. The former was inspired by Koppett's conversations with contemporary athletes who had little or no knowledge about the history of their game and the great players of decades past, while the latter memorably began with a one-word paragraph — \"Fear.\" — and then explored how the batter's instinctive fear of the thrown pitch is the key point around which most other aspects of baseball play are derived.The Essence of the Game is Deception: Thinking about Basketball took a similar approach to basketball.Two weeks prior to his death, Koppett completed his final book, The Rise and Fall of the Press Box, which is part autobiography and part memoir about changes in sports media coverage since World War II when he became a sportswriter.Koppett received the J. G. Taylor Spink Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Curt Gowdy Media Award by the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1994.According to his daughter Katherine Koppett, shortly before his death at age 79 in San Francisco, Koppett commented, \"Every decade of my life has been better than the decade before.\"".
