Gordon Edes
From SoSH
Boston Globe Journalist, Gordon Edes hails from Massachusetts, graduating from Lunenburg High School in 1972. He covers the Globe's baseball beat and votes for the HOF.
According to the Globe, his first article was published in the Fitchburg, Mass. Sentinel when he was 14, and since then, he has worked for some of the best newspapers in the industry since being hired by the Chicago Tribune as a copyboy just out of high school in 1972. Edes has also been a full-time reporter for the L.A. Times, where he spent nine years covering all four major L.A. pro sports --the Dodgers, Lakers, Rams and Kings --and for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Edes wrote for National Sports Daily and the Sun-Sentinel of South Florida, covering the Florida Marlins from their expansion beginnings. He then returned home at the end of 1996 to cover the Red Sox and is now a senior baseball writer. Edes is a regular contributor on NESN, ESPN Radio and other Boston television and radio. He is shown here with famed Sox radio broadcaster Joe Castiglione (left).
A few humorous stories about this terrific sports writer: Edes had a club house confrontation with former Red Sox outfielder Carl Everett after he was the subject of several critical columns, and Everett told Edes to get away from him and take his "curly-haired boyfriend with him;" Edes also bought into an email sent to him by Leslie Epstein (father of Theo) which alleged that Theo and Marie Whitney had been secretly married at Nathan's Famous hot dog stand at Coney Island in New York, and after Edes published this story, he discovered that he'd been had.
