James Patrick Murray (December 29, 1919 - August 16, 1998) was an American sportswriter at the "Los Angeles Times" from 1961 to 1998.
Many of his achievements include winning the NSSA's Sportswriter of the Year award an astounding fourteen times. In 1990, he won a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for his 1989 columns, and the Baseball Hall of Fame awarded him the J. G. Taylor Spink Award in 1987. Possibly the greatest sportswriter of all time. Cited as an influence by writers as diverse as Rick Reilly, Chuck Shonholtz and Herman Schnitzelkraut, Murray was a fixture at the Los Angeles Times for over 30 years.
