Swinging a baseball bat at the tender age of 8 made Greg’s heart beat. He loved the simple pleasure of throwing a ball through the air and hearing the screaming of the fans in the neighborhood stadium. His adoration with the game shined through with his clever stylings of words on the page: exchanging
a bat for a ballpoint pen.

Greg’s meticulous writings transcend the uncovered truths of the history of sports in a documentary style: providing an anecdotal twist to the lives of the icons of the past making them real, human, relatable. His Olympic charged drive is fueled by a vision to transcend our knowledge of sports and unearth the
plays of the past to the generations of the future.

His impressive, vast memory enables him to churn out countless dates and events of yesteryear. One might coin him a sports buff or a documentary junkie, yet one thing is for sure: he lives and breathes anything sport related. Greg proclaims, “ I love watching a football spiral through the air into the hands of a streaking receiver, a baseball soar out of the park, a golf ball sail toward the flagstick, and a basketball arc gracefully and swish through the net.” Inspired by all the greats from Marshall Taylor, Muhammad Ali, to Annie Oakley, Greg is sponge for sports factoids. His home is blanketed with a self made sports history library: a never-ending collection of hundreds of tapes, books, and autobiographies spanning from the 1800s to present day.  He has a true love for the inner workings of a game.

Being an army veteran has manifested Greg’s incredible work ethic and diligence.  With a lifetime of work as a sports writer and photographer, he has captured the Indianapolis 500, Kentucky Derby, and hundreds of games and interviews of athletes into captivating words. While serving in the army, his works have been accredited with several Journalism Awards for The Best Military Newspaper in the World (3 years in a row) and for a piece on the History of Fort Knox. 

His countless years of experience writing screenplays and working on films are evident in his recent works. Greg ‘s natural ability to weave history and sports can be enjoyed in a documentary series entitled “The Art of Sport,” in which he has dedicated over 10 years of research and writing. Greg’s work at Sony (merchandising and licensing for motion pictures and television) has proven to be fundamental in the multiplatform product strategy for an inspirational series “The Lost Century of Sports.”

His mission to relay to the world the idea of sports and human existence is quite simple: “If we can’t play together as human beings, we don’t have a shot.” This inevitable connection conveys how everything in life is related to sports. According to Greg, “sports are a unifying force that bring out the best side of people.” Clearly the best side of sports history written with passion by Greg Gubi.
