He has been an adjunct professor of English and Journalism at the University of New Hampshire since 2009. He is also the director of the UNH Online Writing Lab. David Cataneo is a former baseball columnist and award-winning reporter for the Boston Herald. Cataneo is the author of six nonfiction books and one novel. His books include I Remember Ted Williams, I Remember Joe DiMaggio, and Tony C, a finalist for the 1997 Casey Award for the best baseball book.
