"He literally seems to be everywhere! At times I thought maybe he had a twin but there could not be two individuals as knowledgeable as he is about the high school sports scene. Many times I have sent him emails with questions about things such as tournament schedules, locations, et al. He has always got back to me very quickly with the answer and as to those few times when he did not know it, once he found out he would let me know."
"I don't know if Eric Sondheimer's writing has been influenced by a portion of a quote often attributed to former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren that "the sports page records people's accomplishments..." Either way, it has been a pleasure reading his positive columns on high school sports for nearly half a century. I hope Eric keeps them coming for many more years."
Eric Sondheimer has covered high school sports for 49 years and attends numerous tournaments and games across the region. He appears at many events and demonstrates deep knowledge of the high school sports scene. He consistently answers reader emails quickly about tournament schedules, locations, and related questions, and follows up when he does not initially know an answer. He is described as a true mensch and an asset to The Times and to local high school sports fans. Supporters hope that The Times or local sports organizations such as CIF or the City Section will honor his career on his 50th year.
