Biggs Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Pete Hamill is gone. Growing up in NYC everyday I picked up the papers and read the sport section, Pete Hamill and Jimmy Breslin's columns. Pete was a fantastic read. RIP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I have a lot of memories reading Pete’s Sports stories and recaps. Read his sports and street reports in both his years with the NY Post and the NYDNs RIP Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Along with Breslin, never a better chronicler of New York City and its people. With his artful prose, Hamill is the Bob Dylan of news writers. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 With all the other insanity going on I didnt hear this. Very sad anout Pete leaving us. What a treasure trove of stories and historic knowlege. His contributions to Ric and Ken Burns documentaries, ESPN stories, and other works were phenominal. And thats not even mentioning his primary magic as a writer, RIP sir. And thank you.
