A Witzel photo of Sid Ziff, the Mirror’s sports editor from 1950 to 1962 and a sports columnist at The Times until his retirement in 1967, has been listed on EBay. Ziff was “one of the most controversial and opinionated sports writers in Los Angeles history,” according to his 1991 obituary by the legendary Shav Glick. Bidding starts at $9.95.

I learned how to read chewing over the Mirror, Herald, and Times sports sections. Thanks guys. Ooops, forgot the comics with Ozark Ike too.

One of the pleasures about trying to chronicle sports for the Daily Mirror was reading about LA in that wild time before the Dodgers came west. Ziff’s columns were a hoot. And what a photo!

@Keith: Sorry, I mean Glick’s obit on Ziff! I met Shav a couple of times but really didn’t know him well. He had been around for ages.
