Donald Martin Honig (born August 17, 1931)[1] is an American novelist, historian and editor who mostly writes about baseball.
[2] While a member of the Bobo Newsom Memorial Society, an informal group of writers, Honig attempted to convince Lawrence Ritter to write a sequel to his 1966 book The Glory of their Times.
Pleading time limitations, Ritter declined to attempt such a book himself, but gave Honig his blessing, leading to the books Baseball When the Grass Was Real (1975) and Baseball Between The Lines (1976).
Honig published his most recent baseball book, The Fifth Season, in 2009.
Honig was also a frequent contributor of short stories to Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.
