Rushin grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota, the third in a family of five kids. “Beer has long been in my blood, and not just in the literal sense,” he wrote. “My ancestors were much practiced at naming bars.” In 1946, his father’s father, Jack Rushin, opened a saloon on Market Street in San Francisco he called Jack’s. But the neon sign Jack Rushin ordered came back misspelled. Faced with a costly correction, he installed it unaltered, which is why San Francisco had—under different ownership—a famous nightclub of the ’50s called Fack’s. Rushin’s maternal ancestry consists of a long line of big-league baseball players, firefighters, and bar owners named Boyle. His grandfather Jimmy Boyle played catcher for the New York Giants in 1926 and his great- uncle, Buzz Boyle, was an outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Facts & Trivia

Steve Ranked on the list of most popular Journalist. Also ranked in the elit list of famous people born in United States. Steve Rushin celebrates birthday on September 22 of every year.

Rushin is married to college basketball analyst and former basketball player Rebecca Lobo. In S.I., Rushin, referring to Wilt Chamberlain’s claim that he had slept with over 20,000 women, wrote that he had slept with more than 7,000 women in a single night. He was referring to a WNBA game he supposedly watched that put everyone to sleep. Rushin later recalled how Lobo confronted him in a Manhattan bar after reading that story. “She asked if I was the scribe who once mocked, in Sports Illustrated, women’s professional basketball,” he wrote. “Reluctantly, I said that I was. She asked how many games I’d actually attended. I hung my head and said, “None.” And so Rebecca Lobo invited me to watch her team, the New York Liberty, play at Madison Square Garden. We both reeked of secondhand Camels. (And, quite possibly, of secondhand camels: It was that kind of a dive.) But my insult had been forgiven. It was—for me, anyway—love at first slight.” He added: “She had the longest legs, the whitest teeth, the best-sown cornrows I had ever seen, and I imagined us to have much in common. I ate Frosted Flakes right out of the box, and she was on boxes of Frosted Flakes. I am ludicrous, and she was name-dropped in a rap by Ludacris. We were, I thought, made for each other.”
