My Career in Sports Media

Conversation with Marc Appleman

Marc's career in sports media featured early adaptation to emerging technologies and new media. Along the way, he met many interesting sports personalities, reporters, broadcasters, league and media executives and entrepreneurs. This presentation will include anecdotal memories of groundbreaking launches, interactions with interesting sports figures and behind-the-scenes details from major games and events. 

A graduate of the University of Michigan, Marc started out out as a sportswriter at the Los Angeles Times and went on to hold high-profile positions at ESPN, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Fox Sports, AOL’s Sports Channel, and he served as the CEO of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). He also authored two books: Dad, Are You Pumped? A Father-Son Baseball Odyssey, and Joe Montana, a Sports Illustrated for Kids biography.
