Rodney Dennis Humphries (born 18 September 1943) is an Australian-born author, newspaper/magazine journalist and television writer. Humphries began his writing career at the age of 17 as a general reporter for an Australian wire service. He became a sports journalist covering international events for major Australian dailies and wrote his first book, Lionel Rose: Australian at age 25. Humphries was also head writer and assistant producer of the Australian television show This is Your Life. Humphries moved permanently to the United States in 1977 when a tennis book he was commissioned to write in New York was followed by an offer from oilman and sports entrepreneur Lamar Hunt to join the staff of Dallas-based World Championship Tennis (WCT). He has had three books published in the United States, the most recent in 2013, Little League to the Major Leagues.
Humphries was granted American Citizenship on May 18, 2021, and on May 26 the Texas State Legislature passed Resolution 1346 “Congratulating Australian-born sports journalist and author Rod Humphries on becoming a U.S. Citizen.”[1] A Texas State Flag was flown in his honor over the Capitol in Austin on June 24.
