Books by Alison Gordon

Alison Ruth Gordon was a Canadian journalist and mystery novelist who broke barriers as one of the first prominent female sportswriters in the American League. Covering the Toronto Blue Jays for the Toronto Star from 1979, she was the first full-time female beat reporter in Major League Baseball and among the first women admitted to MLB locker rooms. Gordon wrote for CBC and earned a National Magazine Award for humour writing. She served as president of the Crime Writers of Canada and was honoured posthumously with the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame’s Jack Graney Award.
