Which sports writers won Pulitzer Prizes?

I'm compiling a list mostly out of curiosity, and figured maybe you guys could help and see if I missed anyone.

REPORTING
1935: William H. Taylor, New York Herald Tribune

LOCAL REPORTING
1956: Arthur Daley, New York Times

COMMENTARY
1976: Red Smith, New York Times
1981: David Anderson, New York Times
1990: Jim Murray, Los Angeles Times

LOCAL INVESTIGATIVE
1981: Clark Hallas and Robert B. Lowe, Arizona Daily Star

INVESTIGATIVE
1986: Jeffrey A. Marx and Michael M. York, Lexington Herald-Leader

FEATURE
1997: Lisa Pollak, Baltimore Sun

BEAT REPORTING
2000: George Dohrmann, St. Paul Pioneer Press

I'm not including guys like Jimmy Breslin or J.R. Moehringer, who won for something other than their sports writing.

I suppose you could quibble about Pollak's inclusion as her winning story was a profile of a man (John Hirschbeck) who just happened to be a major league umpire.

 

REPORTING
1935 William H. Taylor of New York Herald Tribune
For his series of articles on the international yacht races.

2011: Jon Saraceno, USA Today

 

Thanks. I went back and looked over other now-defunct awards and added Clark Hallas and Robert B. Lowe of The Arizona Daily Star, who won for an investigation into U of A athletics.

It's a shame the list appears to be so limited. Had, say, the Explanatory Journalism category existed today, I think Alan Schwarz's pieces on concussions for The New York Times would surely stand a good shot of winning.

 

They were not employed in the sports department, however.

 

Don't think the Herald Leader guys were, either. Just news reporters. I'm pretty sure they kept Tipton away from that stuff so he could just focus on basketball.

But I could be wrong. I was 14 when all that was going on.

 

News reporters or not, they won Pulitzers for sports reporting. I know what you guys are saying in that there is a difference, though.

 

Let's see. It's 1935. The Depression. The rise of Hitler and the war clouds of WW2. And the prize for reporting went to the yacht racing writer? He must've been really good.

 

Maybe the yacht racing involved dodging German U-boats in Long Island Sound ...

 

If yacht racing involved the boats getting torpedoed if they got off course, I would watch.

 

All the reporters must have been furloughed for much of the Depression.
