Richard Stubbs Jemison (September 19, 1886 – January 9, 1965) was an early 20th-century American sportswriter in the South who was for eleven years the sporting editor of the Atlanta Constitution.[1][2][3] He wrote extensively on baseball and football, picking many an All-Southern team. Supposedly, he was the first sports editor to include batting stats in his newspaper column.[citation needed] For two years he was president of the Georgia–Alabama League.[4]
Jemison himself was an avid golfer, basketball player, and bowler.[5]
