Old Lang Synes Off

Jack Lang, who had one of the best jobs in the world for more than 20 years, has died at the age of 85. From 1966 to 1988, Lang served as the secretary-treasurer of the Baseball Writers of America Association, and got to inform newly minted baseball Hall of Famers of their selection. In 1986, Lang was inducted to the writer’s wing himself, having covered baseball since 1946.
