I am writing in reference to the “Hit&Run”column written by Steve Rosenbloom. It is a column I try to avoid as it is often mean-spirited, superficial and regarded by true sports fans to be sensationalism at its worst. Certainly I would have thought it not up to the World’s Greatest Newspaper’s standards.
On Sunday, May 31, there was one of the world’s greatest athletes pictured at the start of the column. I ask Mr. Rosenbloom and the Trib’s editors: Is this the way Chicago should regard the finest athlete in its history, and most probably its future? I know most true sports fans abhor this pandering journalism, which could only be aimed at the uninformed and unintelligent. Even the humor is predictable and seldom amusing.
Is this why Bob Verdi left the Trib? Cancel my 20-year subscription.
