David Rapp

I'm a journalist and now author of a book about the 1908 Chicago Cubs: Tinker to Evers to Chance: the Chicago Cubs and the Dawn of Modern America. The University of Chicago Press is publisher.

I retired from CQ Roll Call in November 2014 after a 30-year career in Washington journalism. Most of that time was with Congressional Quarterly, the premier authority on Congress. I got my start covering Indiana school sports for my hometown newspaper, the Evansville Press, and attended Vanderbilt University on the Grantland Rice Scholarship for Young Sportswriters.

​

Now I'm immersed in baseball history and in trying to break 80 in my golf game.
