American journalist and author
Michael Sokolove is an American journalist and author. He has worked for "The New York Times Magazine" since 2001. His books include "Hustle: The Myth, Life, and Lies of Pete Rose", about Pete Rose and his banishment from baseball, and "The Ticket Out: Darryl Strawberry and the Boys of Crenshaw", about Darryl Strawberry's high school baseball team.
"The New York Times" positively reviewed "The Ticket Out", describing the portrayal of Strawberry and his teammates as a "choral narrative" and "simple and affecting. Roger Angell, of "The New Yorker", wrote that "Hustle" was "a first-class work of sound reporting and balanced, piece-by-piece evidence and inescapable conclusions."
"Drama High: The Incredible True Story of a Brilliant Teacher, a Struggling Town, and the Magic of Theater", published in 2013, was optioned by "Hamilton" lead producer Jeffrey Seller and served as the inspiration for the television series "Rise".
Sokolove has also contributed to "Sports Illustrated", "The Washington Post", and "Mother Jones". Two of his articles have been included in "The Best American Sports Writing" anthologies, in 2006 and 2010.
