MDJ Sports Editor
John Bednarowski
releases first book,
“I Write About Sports”
BY KATY RUTH CAMP
Hello, sports fans! (And non-sports fans, too.)
Marietta Daily Journal Sports Editor John
Bednarowski recently released his book, “I Write
About Sports,” chronicling his award-winning, 14-
year career covering sports for the MDJ.
The nearly 230-page book is a compilation of
some of Bednarowski’s most memorable columns
and stories, opening with former University of
Georgia football coach Vince Dooley’s story of how
a few members of the 1980 championship team
had a pig roast to celebrate the end of summer
practice — by stealing a pig from the university’s
agricultural department.
The book also covers a multitude of other
sports and topics, including the development
of Kennesaw State’s football program, years of
covering the Masters and its rising stars, the MDJ’s
bread-and-butter coverage of high school football,
and even an award-winning story he broke about
Georgia High School Association’s misaligned
Yard Care Made Easy.
