DOMINIC AMORE JR.

 

 

Dom Amore, a New Haven native and graduate of Southern Connecticut, has 25 years experience in covering sports for newspapers in the state. He has covered seven Super Bowls and seven World Series for the Hartford Courant, and won more than a dozen regional and national sportswriting awards during his career. He returns to his alma mater to teach sportswriting in the fall of 2007.


Amore began as an intern with the Shore Line Newspapers in 1982, working in various capacities, including sports editor of the weekly Hamden Chronicle, during his college years. After graduating from SCSU with a BS in Journalism in 1985, Amore became a staff writer with the New Haven Register covering area high school sports. In 1986, he moved to the daily Milford Citizen, where he was sports editor for nearly three years.


In 1989, Amore joined the Hartford Courant as a high school sports reporter. He later covered minor league baseball. In 1992, Amore was named beat reporter for the Giants. During the 1990s, Amore also wrote a Sunday NFL column, and also covered sports media and, in 1995, the Hartford Whalers of the NHL.


In 1999, Amore was named beat reporter for the Yankees and held that position for eight years. During his time on the Yankees beat, Amore was twice honored by Associated Press Sports Editors for game stories. He had previously won APSE awards for feature and enterprise reporting.


He has also written or contributed to three books on sports, including Chicken Soup for the Baseball Fan's Soul in 2002. In 2004-2005, he was vice chairman of the New York Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America, earning a baseball Hall-of-Fame vote in January 2006.


This past summer, he was assigned to his current position, as a feature and enterprise writer centering on all the New York pro teams.
