Billy Pinckney is a force to be reckoned with in sports journalism. I consider him the second coming of Dick Schaap and Bob Costas wrapped into one. Pinckney knows how to ease any sports celebrity into talking about his latest conquest on the sports field.

Every once in a while, I meet a student and I say to myself, 'I wish I could buy stock in this person’s future!' Billy Pinckney is definitely one of these students. He is passionate. He is driven. He has found his calling. I could also say that he’s in the top one percent of the more than 12,000 students I have taught in my 44 years at Montclair State. The real truth is that Billy is in the top one percent of that one percent!!! He is that remarkable!!!

I first met Billy Pinckney when he was 11 years old and he asked to interview me. I was immediately impressed with his passion for baseball and his knowledge about baseball. Over the years, Billy has become even more knowledgeable and more passionate about this great sport. I always look forward to our next baseball conversation.
