Anthony Anderson has won many awards sports writing awards throughout his time with the Elkhart Truth. But Anderson would rather interview people than get awards . Mr. Anderson has interviewed many famous athletes and coaches. “Some someone provides you with more information than you can use at one time” said Anderson at an interview with Write on Sports earlier this morning.
“I think the only time I was nervous going into an interview was Bobby Night.” said Anderson about his interview with Bobby Night. Bobby Night is not the only famous coach Anderson has interviewed. He has also interviewed John Wooden.
Players Anderson has interviewed are Hank Aaron and Dominique Wilkins. “Hank was appearing at an event and he was gracious enough to take the time.”(The event was put on by the Elkhart Truth the newspaper Anderson works at.) However there are many athletes that Anderson has not gotten to interview.
Anderson was asked what person in the world dead or alive if he could interview who would it be. He replied with, John F Kennedy, because there is so much that is not know because he died early. No one knows a lot about him. Athletes Anderson wants to interview are Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth. He wishes he could interview Jackie Robinson because so much is known but you could always find more.
