A baseball Einstein passes away
2007-03-16 23:06
by Bob Timmermann

Charles Einstein, who cowrote two of Willie Mays' biographies, Born to Play Ball and My Life In and Out of Baseball, passed away on March 7 in Michigan City, Indiana.

In addition to a long writing career for the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner, Einstein also wrote for the TV series "Lou Grant." Einstein also edited the four volume Fireside Book of Baseball.

He was the son of comedian Harry Einstein, aka "Parkyakarkus", and was the half-brother of Albert Brooks, Dave Einstein (aka Super Dave Osborne), and Clifford Einstein, who is chairman of the board of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.
