About the author
For more than two decades, John Harper covered baseball in New York as a beat writer and columnist for the New York Daily News. Publisher and bookseller biographies describe him as a longtime sports columnist with deep experience reporting on the game and its biggest rivalries.
He has written and co-written several baseball books, including A Tale of Two Cities, a look at the Yankees–Red Sox rivalry, and other books connected to New York baseball history. Those credits helped establish him as a writer known for combining daily reporting with longer-form storytelling.
Book biographies also note that he played college baseball at the University of Bridgeport and has lived in New Jersey with his family. Across his work, the focus stays on the drama, pressure, and personalities that make baseball such a durable subject for readers.
