John Pruett’s Legacy Lives On | Birmingham News

A legendary Huntsville sports voice is finally getting his due: John Pruett’s career-spanning collection, The John Pruett Collection: A Final Offering, Humbly Served, drops today — and it’s a heartfelt tribute to a man who shaped Alabama sports journalism for over 40 years. Once the longtime sports editor of The Huntsville Times and a 17-time winner of Alabama’s Sportswriter of the Year, Pruett’s legacy lives on through this curated anthology, assembled by his son Tom and fellow writer Mark McCarter. Celebrate his life and craft at tonight’s public launch at Joe Davis Stadium — where he once covered the Stars — sponsored by the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame. This isn’t just a book; it’s a window into a storied career, told with passion, precision, and unmistakable heart.
