Shav Glick

Bill Dwyer (thanks, Doyle): A death often brings talk of the person's era. Shav Glick's triggers the plural. Eras.
The career of the veteran Times sportswriter, who died early Saturday at age 87, spanned Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Dennis Keith Rodman. And beyond. He was there before television and after TiVo.
For 54 years, he worked for the Los Angeles Times, and he had a few stops at smaller papers before that. He wasn't an editor, never a big shot, never a guy on a ladder to higher things. The only climbing he ever did was into a press box. He loved sports, loved to write about them, and never wanted to do anything else.
Younger writers angled for interviews. Glick got them from longtime acquaintances.
