Tracking Si Burick's Daughter -- She Who Wrote the Great Spring Training Article

(c) 2010 F. Bruce Abel

She must be Mr. Steven Goldstein of 55 Park Avenue, New York. Here's an article in the New York Times about the birth of her son.

At first I thought the 55 Park Avenue referred to that street in Oakwood, Dayton, Ohio, and Si Burick was a Dayton writer. But then I realized it must be New York City.

Anyway, click on "Burick" and scroll down and you will find her very good article about going to spring training every year as a child, as Si was covering the Reds.

Spring Training -- by Si Burick's Daughter


A debate with my niece's husband led me to research Dayton Daily News Sports writer Si Burick, this morning. That led me to this nostalgic article in the New York Times of February 26, 1978, by his daughter.
The editor's note at the bottom of column one portrays her mother (Si's wife) as pretty promiscuous, and should be sent to Dave Letterman.

Si Burick

On this great day for Dayton basketball, (second round of NCAA) I am thinking about a great sports writer who died in 1986, Si Burick, who wrote for the Dayton Daily News and was one of the top sports writers in the country, winning many awards. I would like to go through his papers at the University of Dayton, I believe:

This leads me to the Great Snow Storm of 1950, the weekend of the Ohio State-Michagan game.

I remember mom and dad had their poker group over Saturday night and everybody had to stay for Sunday too. One docter from Dayton died coming back from the game. That was before I-70, I'm sure.

LaSalle and Dayton Reach Finals

Dayton Flyer fans, remember when the east was east and the NIT was all and Lou Effrat ruled (although Si Burick of the Dayton Daily News was no slouch either):
