Red joined the Sports Department in `54, and while Red is renowned for his baseball writing, he also covered hockey and horse racing (quite a combination), and from 1969-1982 was the author of the famed "Ask Red" column. Red also began scoring officially for the Mets and Yankees in 1966, a position he would hold till 2000 and in which time he witnessed first hand the '69 and '86 World Series at Shea and the `77,`78,`96,`98,`99, and `00 World Series at Yankee Stadium.

Retired from the typewriter, Red lives happily on Long Island and is still the Official Scorer for the Indepentant League Long Island Ducks. When asked for his favorite memories, Red has two that stick out: one is seeing Mel Ott hitting his 500th Home Run at the Polo Grounds off John Hutchins, and the second is George Brett`s Home Run off Goose Gossage in the 1980 Playoff Series between the Yanks and the Royals. Red has forgotten more about baseball than all of us will ever know and truly is a "Living Baseball Treasure."
