John J. Fitz Gerald

John J. Fitz Gerald

:"For the Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 7th congressional district, see John J. Fitzgerald."

John Joseph Fitz Gerald (March 7, 1893 – March 17, 1963) was a turf racing writer for the New York "Morning Telegraph", from 1912 to 1940 (except for his service in World War I), serving as turf editor for the last 15 years. He was later the public relations director of Garden State Tropical Park and Atlantic City racetracks at various times. He was the sports editor of the "Daily Sports Bulletin", a sports daily, in his later years. His last name was sometimes spelled "FitzGerald" by others, but "Fitz Gerald" was the spelling used in his "Morning Telegraph" column. He is best known today for popularizing "Big Apple" as a nickname for New York City.
