Title: Shirley Povich Tribute

URL: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/longterm/general/povich/povich.htm

Description: Archived Washington Post online tribute to Shirley Povich (1905-1998), newspaper sports editor and columnist for The Washington Post for 41 years. The tribute includes a selection of Povich's columns on baseball, boxing, football, and current events. It also includes Povich's obituary, biography, interviews with Povich, readers' e-mail condolence messages, and personal recollections by Post writers Tony Kornheiser, Michael Wilbon, and Thomas Boswell Povich, who retired in 1973, was only 21 when he became the youngest sports editor in the country. He subsequently began his own sports column, "This Morning with Shirley Povich." The column was briefly halted while he reported in the Pacific Theater during World War II, from 1944 to 1945. Povich's columns mark many important events, including the 1972 Munich Olympics and hostage crisis, and the 1932 World Series and Babe Ruth's "called shot." Povich was extremely interested in the Washington, D.C. sports teams, including the Nationals and the Redskins, and had a tumultous relationship with the Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, often calling him out in his columns for his lack of racial integration on the field. In the span of his career, Povich wrote over 15,000 columns. He officially retired in 1973, but still wrote more than 500 pieces after his "retirement". In 1995, Povich was honored by The Post publisher, Donald Graham, for his 75th anniversary at the newspaper.
