Bob Klapisch (Sportswriter. Born, New York, Aug. 14, 1957.) A former Columbia relief pitcher, Roberto Salvador Klapisch has covered New York baseball for three major newspapers since 1980. Klapisch started at the New York Post, where he remained until 1987, rising from general assignment sportswriter to Yankees beat man. He then spent six years at the Daily News (1988-94) before moving to The Record of Hackensack, N.J., in 1995. For The Record, Klapisch is the principal baseball columnist.
He has written four books, the first of which, The Worst Team Money Could Buy (1993), was critical of the Mets’ failed extravagance in the early 1990s. Co-written with John Harper (q.v.), the book led to an angry clubhouse confrontation with highly-paid underachieving outfielder Bobby Bonilla. Three more baseball books followed, including one on the 1996 champion Yankees and another with Dwight Gooden (1999).
At Columbia, where he majored in political science, Klapisch was a righthander with a quirky delivery who was 4-3 over his last two seasons with several saves. An all-B.C.S.L. pitcher at Leonia H.S., he began pitching in New Jersey’s Metropolitan League in 1977 and continues to do so.
