On-air to now online: A new season of Game On with Katie B. Davis

Last weekend John Schuerholz, the architect of the Atlanta Braves’ 14-straight division titles, was inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.

Schuerholz’s name is a familiar one not just to Braves fans, but to sports fans nationwide.

A not-as-widely-known name also saw her likeness immortalized, sports writing pioneer Claire Smith, who became the first female winner of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award, given to her for her meritorious contributions to baseball writing.

To honor Smith ESPN did a video feature highlighting her rise in the writing world. Among the many voices singing her praises was former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre who said, “She was never looking to expose you, however, she was looking to tell people about you.”

The new digital version of Game On with Katie B. Davis will embody Torre’s quote about Smith.
