He was introduced to his wife after she confronted him at an establishment over a mocking column he wrote on the WNBA.

He began his career as an editor for cereal boxes that served breakfast and later, he wrote an anthology of sports-related nicknames.

Rushin grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota, the third in a family of five kids. “Beer has long been in my blood, and not just in the literal sense,” he wrote. “My ancestors were much practiced at naming bars.” In 1946, his father’s father, Jack Rushin, opened a saloon on Market Street in San Francisco he called Jack’s. But the neon sign Jack Rushin ordered came back misspelled. Faced with a costly correction, he installed it unaltered, which is why San Francisco had—under different ownership—a famous nightclub of the ’50s called Fack’s. Rushin’s maternal ancestry consists of a long line of big-league baseball players, firefighters, and bar owners named Boyle. His grandfather Jimmy Boyle played catcher for the New York Giants in 1926 and his great-uncle, Buzz Boyle, was an outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Their uncle, Jack Boyle, had a long career with the Phillies, then became nearly as renowned as the owner of a bar in downtown Cincinnati. In 1954 Steve’s father, Don, was a blocking back for Johnny Majors at the University of Tennessee. And Steve’s older brother, Jim, was a forward on the Providence hockey team that reached the Frozen Four in 1983.

Steve Rushin is an American journalist, sportswriter and novelist. He was named the 2005 National Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, and is a four-time finalist for the National Magazine Award.

Rushin and Lobo live with their four children in Western Connecticut. In May, 2007, he was the Commencement Day speaker at Marquette, where he was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters for “his unique gift of documenting the human condition through his writing.” “Sometimes it pays to think inside a box. And so my daughter and I lay in that box and gazed out at the dozens upon dozens of tulips my wife planted in rows last fall. They bloomed this month, tilting ever so slightly toward the sun. And I thought how remarkable it is that in nature, life wants to grow towards the light.”

Height, Weight & Body Measurements

He recalled his businessman father making him look up words in their big red dictionary so he could report on what they meant. His mother, Jane, was a teacher who thought his love of reading and writing meant he should become a lawyer. After her abrupt death on Sept. 5, 1991, of amyloidosis, Don took up golf at 57. “He and my mother had always played tennis – a couples’ game of mixed doubles and tennis bracelets and Love-Love,” Rushin wrote. “But in mourning, Dad turned Job-like to golf, a game of frustration and golf widows and solitary hours on the range. On his first visit to a driving range, my father struck a steel stall divider with one of his drives, and the ball rocketed back into his privates, beginning a long history of violence and comedy – often combined – in the Rushin golf game.” In Bloomington, young Steve watched baseball and football games at Metropolitan Stadium, where he sold hot dogs and soda to Twins and Vikings fans (for one year he also took in hockey in the pine-green polyester worn by vendors at the Met Center, home of the Minnesota North Stars).

Three years later Rushin spent four months writing an epic feature for S.I.’s 40th Anniversary issue. The story of his journey was divided into five parts, each exploring an essential aspect of sports in America. One section was a lament for recently razed Metropolitan Stadium, whose site became the Mall of America and housed more than 800 stores, making it the largest shopping center in the United States. “It’s nauseating to think that above where Fran Tarkenton once scrambled, there’s going to be an Orange Julius or a Gap,” he said. Rushin’s essay – How We Got Here – spanned 24 pages and remains the longest-ever article published in a single issue of S.I. At the magazine, he filed stories from Java, Greenland, the India-Pakistan border and other far- and near-flung locales. He covered the World Series, the World Cup and Wimbledon. (And those were just the Ws). He ate his way around America’s ballparks and rode a dozen rollercoasters in a day. His weekly column, Air & Space, ran from 1998 to 2007, and was often about sports. He left S.I. in February, 2007, returning in a contributing role in July 2010. He resumed his column – renamed “Rushin Lit” – on an occasional basis in October 2011.

Facts & Trivia

Steve Ranked on the list of most popular Journalist. Also ranked in the elit list of famous people born in United States. Steve Rushin celebrates birthday on September 22 of every year.

Rushin is married to college basketball analyst and former basketball player Rebecca Lobo. In S.I., Rushin, referring to Wilt Chamberlain’s claim that he had slept with over 20,000 women, wrote that he had slept with more than 7,000 women in a single night. He was referring to a WNBA game he supposedly watched that put everyone to sleep. Rushin later recalled how Lobo confronted him in a Manhattan bar after reading that story. “She asked if I was the scribe who once mocked, in Sports Illustrated, women’s professional basketball,” he wrote. “Reluctantly, I said that I was. She asked how many games I’d actually attended. I hung my head and said, “None.” And so Rebecca Lobo invited me to watch her team, the New York Liberty, play at Madison Square Garden. We both reeked of secondhand Camels. (And, quite possibly, of secondhand camels: It was that kind of a dive.) But my insult had been forgiven. It was—for me, anyway—love at first slight.” He added: “She had the longest legs, the whitest teeth, the best-sown cornrows I had ever seen, and I imagined us to have much in common. I ate Frosted Flakes right out of the box, and she was on boxes of Frosted Flakes. I am ludicrous, and she was name-dropped in a rap by Ludacris. We were, I thought, made for each other.”
