    This dates me, but that's a byline I instantly recognized. Read bundles of his stories. RIP.

    May be best known for one of those books I gotta read if I can find it, "A Day in the Bleachers," based on Game 1 of the 1954 World Series and Willie Mays' catch in the eighth inning.

    Amazon has the book in stock. Sixteen bucks if you have Prime.

    I remember my Dad buying Sport magazine for me in 1966 with Gale Sayers on the cover (my Dad was a Bears fan). At that time Sport ran a long form feature every month called the Sport Special. Hano was the magazine's star writer and did a lot of those features. So if Hano wrote that article it may have been the first long feature article I ever read.

    I Googled the 1966 cover of that issue and it had an article on proposed baseball trades that I remember. None of those trades happened. And in the 55 years since then I have never read one article about proposed trades that was ever consumated. I still think of that 1966 article every time I see a written piece or listen to a talk show host making up hypothetical trades and what a waste of time they are.

    Found it last summer, but didn't get to it until January. Have never found a book about one game that was so interesting.'
