He has written extensively on the sport for The New York Times, Deadspin, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post.[7][8][9][6] Early life and educationHirshey was born in New York City. His father, Max Hirshey, was the president of Swarovski Crystal US and a former youth international soccer player, and his mother, Mara Hirshey, was a writer. David Hirshey graduated with a BA in English from Dickinson College, where he played varsity soccer for four years and wrote a weekly sports column for the student newspaper.[10][11] CareerFollowing his graduation, Hirshey was hired as a reporter at The New York Daily News, where, at 21, he was the youngest sportswriter in New York. In addition to major sporting events, Hirshey covered soccer, and in 1975 broke the story that Pelé was coming to New York to play for the New York Cosmos.[12] Five of his articles over the course of his tenure at The New York Daily News were anthologized in Houghton Mifflin's annual Best Sports Stories of the Year.In 1978, Hirshey was named editor of the paper's Sunday News Magazine. In that position, he worked with writers including Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill.[13] Hirshey was hired as a senior editor for Esquire in 1984 and promoted to articles editor in 1986. At Esquire Hirshey worked closely with writers such as Frederick Exley, Richard Ford, David Halberstam, and Tom Robbins, among others. He edited Richard Ben Cramer's 1986 profile of Ted Williams, regarded as "one of the greatest pieces of sportswriting ever."[14][15] From 1991 through 1997, Hirshey was the deputy editor of Esquire. In addition to editing long form pieces in the magazine, he oversaw the annual "Dubious Achievement" issue, which was described by the Washington Post as “hands down, the funniest year end issue of them all.” [3][16] After leaving Esquire, Hirshey was hired as an editor at the New Yorker, where he assigned, developed and edited articles on future trends in politics, science, business, entertainment, culminating with “The Next Issue.” [2] In 1998, he was named executive editor and vice president of HarperCollins Publishers.
