Donald Honig
Donald Martin Honig (born August 17, 1931) is an American novelist, historian and editor who mostly writes about baseball.While a member of the Bobo Newsom Memorial Society, an informal group of writers, Honig attempted to convince Lawrence Ritter to write a sequel to his 1966 book ''The Glory of their Times''.
Pleading time limitations, Ritter declined to attempt such a book himself, but gave Honig his blessing, leading to the books ''Baseball When the Grass Was Real'' (1975) and ''Baseball Between The Lines'' (1976).
Over the next 19 years, Honing churned out 39 books about baseball. He collaborated with Ritter on ''The 100 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time'' in 1981.
He also published several illustrated histories of long-standing franchises. Honig published his most recent baseball book, ''The Fifth Season'', in 2009.
Honig was also a frequent contributor of short stories to ''Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.'' He resides in Cromwell, Connecticut. Provided by Wikipedia
