Charles Richards Gordon, known as Dick "Scoop" Gordon (January 15, 1911[1] – December 8, 2008), was an American sports journalist whose works were a regular feature in venerable sports magazines like The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, and Baseball Digest.[2][3] After earning his nickname "Scoop" in 1930 by reporting for The Daily Princetonian that golfing legend Bobby Jones would be retiring from active competition, Gordon went on to a sports reporting career that ended in 2008.[4][5][6]
