Edwin Rumill

Edwin Miller Rumill (September 28, 1910 – September 15, 1987) was a prominent sportswriter in the Boston area covering baseball for over 40 years. He served as president of the Baseball Writers' Association of America and was the official scorer for the 1961 World Series.

Rumill was born in Newton, Massachusetts to Edwin H. and Laura M. Rumill. Rumill played amateur baseball in the Boston Park League. He also wrote for The Sporting News for several years. Williams later said in his autobiography that Rumill was one of the only writers he would confide in.

After retirement, Rumill lived in Sun Lakes, Arizona. He died on 18 September 1987 at Chandler Health Center in Chandler, Arizona. He was survived by his wife Juliette. Ben Bradlee Jr. wrote that despite the Monitor not being known for sportswriting, Rumill had been respected and influential in the field.
