Veteran sports writer make an impact on next generation
I ran across Ryan Aber’s blog post about Bob Hersom. It was posted on June 30, but I didn’t see it until today.
Aber did an excellent job of sharing his and some of his collegues’ thoughts on the recent passing of Bob Hersom. Hersom was a highly-respected reporter at The Oklahoman and, more recently, the official scorekeeper for the Oklahoma RedHawks.
When I moved over to the RedHawks beat last summer, Matt Patterson, who had the beat, offered a great bit of wisdom. Matt said that the best part of the beat wasn’t the occasional big-time player or ex-player you’d get to meet but the day-to-day relationships that come from being in the press box. He was dead on.
Ryan goes on to share insights from some others in the RedHawks and OPUBCO organizations about Bob. It was an excellent read.
And if you want more about Bob Hersom, read Jenni Carlson’s Father’s Day column about Bob as he was in the hospital.
