Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Jim Murray writes a classic column about Walter O’Malley that appeared in The Sporting News. Murray penned, “To some, he’s a 260-pound leprechaun, as sentimental as old lace, as soft as sponge cake, as philanthropic as a Community Chest, as misunderstood as Einstein’s theory, as lovable as a puppy. He’s Father Christmas in a double-breasted suit...O’Malley came to the club as its attorney. He will leave it as its principal owner, chairman of the board and the single most striking front-office figure in the history of the game, one who not only changed the face of baseball but of professional athletics.”1
