Philip Francis Pepe [peppy] (March 21, 1935 - December 13, 2015) was an American baseball writer and radio voice who spent more than five decades covering sports in New York City. Pepe was a longtime Yankees beat writer who chronicled franchise greats from Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle to Reggie Jackson and Derek Jeter, and also authored dozens of books on some of the most significant figures in sports. Pepe wrote for the News the lead game story for every World Series from 1969 to 1981, even in years when the Yankees did not make the Series. After leaving the News in 1989, Pepe did morning sports for WCBS radio for more than 15 years, which included his popular "Pep Talk" segment. Officially licensed by Major League Baseball, this book chronicles the greatest pitching moments in the sport's history through vivid, full-color photographs, detailed stories and an 80-minute DVD. In Unhittable, readers will relive all the greatest and most dramatic performance by pitchers in the history of baseball: the perfect games, the near-misses, the no-hitters, the 20-strikeout games and the clutch and courageous performances that were the building blocks of Hall of Fame careers. Buckley was a senior editor at NFL Publishing, where he covered Super Bowls and created numerous books on the league and its players. Prior to that, he was the editorial projects manager of Sports Illustrated, working on special sections on a wide variety of sports and major sports events. He has also been a newspaper columnist, a freelance writer, and the editor of several magazines. He is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research.
