Local historian Dee Morris calls cartoonist Gene Mack “a
Medford original, imitated by many, yet equaled by none. Morris will tell his story in a free talk, “For Love of the
Game: The Cartoon Artistry of Gene Mack,” on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. at the
Medford Historical Society.
Born Eugene G. McGillicuddy in 1889, Mack thrilled sports fans for over 35 years with his Boston Globe cartoons. Gifted with a knack for capturing an athlete’s personal style, Mack instinctively knew how to re-create the drama of a game. His l947 catalog of the major league ball parks remains his masterpiece. Devoted to his city, his legacy continues in the Gene Mack Clubhouse operated by the Medford Boys & Girls Club on Forest Street.
