Gary Smith of Sports Ilustrated.In 2003 he won the National Magazine Award for his Sports Illustrated article about George O'Leary He has also written a book called "Beyond the Game"http://search.barnesandnoble.com/bookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?r=1&isbn=0802138497
Smith has written about celebrities, including Mike Tyson, Carl Lewis, Jimmy Valvano, and Magic Johnson. But most of his best work is about athletes or people whose names you can't quite place, or have never heard in the first place. His most memorable stories include his first National Magazine Award winner, the saga of Jonathan Takes Enemy, a young Crow basketball player struggling to escape the reservation; the riveting tale of John Malangone, who was on his way to becoming Yogi Berra's successor as New York Yankees catcher in the late 1950s, until a terrible secret unraveled his career; and his piece in the June 16,2003 issue of Sports Illustrated, about a deep-sea diver with an Ahab-like obsession to break depth records.
Smith made his name as a young sportswriter for the Philadelphia Daily News
