Ernie Palladino has been a fixture with Westchester-Rockland-Putnam readers since 1976, when he came to The Journal News (then the Reporter Dispatch) as a part-time sportswriter while attending Fordham University. Since then, the Eastchester native and graduate of Eastchester High has touched on just about every sport imaginable. He has covered two no-hitters since working his first pro baseball game in 1979: Dwight Gooden’s Yankee Stadium no-no against Seattle on May 14, 1996, and one of the strangest in baseball history on June 11, 2003 as six Astros pitchers shut down the Yankees at the Stadium. Palladino has covered 10 Super Bowls, including the Giants’ “Wide Right�? victory over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV and their loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV. He has won several awards. But his most cherished possession is a pen-and-ink portrait of himself in the Giants press box, sketched and inscribed by the great Journal News artist Frank Becerra a couple of years after Palladino took over the Giants beat. It hangs, framed, in his office.
