Author & Events
Jay Price, a longtime award-winning columnist for the Staten Island Advance, has covered the World Series, the Final Four, the Masters and U.S. Open, and 25 Super Bowls. He was a featured writer for Sport magazine.
Jay grew up on Staten Island, a block from Curtis High School, where he could look out his bedroom window and see if there was a game underway on the high school field. He and his wife Nancy now live in Manasquan, N.J. They have seven grown children.
One of Jay’s columns was the catalyst for the creation of the Staten Island Sports Hall of Fame, where Sal Somma was the first inductee in an inaugural class full of major-leaguers, All-Americans and Olympians. All these years later, Somma remains the only inductee intentionally introduced out of alphabetical order.
