Joseph Lawrence Reichler (January 1, 1915 – December 12, 1988) was an American
sports writer who worked for the
Associated Press from 1943 to 1966. He mostly covered the
New York City based
baseball teams. Reichler also wrote many baseball books, and worked for the Office of the
Commissioner of Baseball.
In 1982, it was discovered that he sold items that had earlier been donated to the
Baseball Hall of Fame to cover his financial problems.[1]
