Bliss was up to see the dawn break with the coffee on and Caen, Delaplane, the Fearless Spectator, Paine Knickerbocker and John Wasserman waiting to be read. Toss in a David Pearlman piece every now and then.

Ron Fimrite and Art Rosenbaum defined Bay Area sports coverage, especially college. Still have a clipping of the '71 Rose Bowl story under Rosenbaum's by-line. And I grew up reading Bob Stevens' baseball stories. On other pages I chuckled at Art Hoppe's satire and Charles McCabe's sour-ass commentaries. And a lot of people still don't know that Glenn Dickey openly campaigned for Stanford to hire Bill Walsh after Jack Christiansen was let go. Good paper, good years.

“Plunkett Keeps His Promise”. Sunday headline after they beat SC. Back in the day, the Chron and Examiner put out a joint Sunday paper.

One guy I haven’t seen mentioned is Art Spander.
