After gracing this website with periodic contributions since its launch in 2018, Hal Bock — who previously spent 30-plus years as a sports reporter for the Associated Press — has decided to retire his Bock’s Score column. The arrival of a milestone birthday, he says, has convinced him to step back from writing. We thank you, Hal, for all the wonderful stories and columns throughout your career and wish you all the best. We also invite folks to check out the story of Hal’s remarkable career — expressed in his own words — under the “Talkin’ with the Pros” section of this website.
