The New York Times appointed Ken Belson as a business of sports reporter on the sports desk, according to a memo Tuesday from sports editor Tom Jolly.
“Ken is no stranger to the sports desk. While working in the Tokyo Bureau from 2001 to 2004, he wrote frequently about baseball, the World Cup, K-1 and, on one New Year’s Day, a collegiate long-distance relay race up Mount Fuji. He wrote most recently on how major league baseball teams weather the Depression.
“After returning from Japan, Ken covered telecommunications in BizDay and transportation, energy and an array of other topics for Metro. Before joining the Times, he worked at Business Week, Reuters and Bloomberg.
“He has also managed to persuade his wife, a Tokyo native who grew up across the street from the Yomiuri Giants’ old stadium, to find it in herself to root for the Mets.”
