About

For most of his life, Phil Zalon spent his time as the owner and operator of pharmacies and stationery stores throughout Brooklyn. Since his retirement in 2020, Phil has found more time to do the other things he loves: take care of his grandsons (he has five!), run, watch and talk about baseball, and write. Phil has always loved reading and writing, majoring in English at Brooklyn College. You can find his sharp, concise reviews of some of his favorite (and not-so favorite) establishments on Yelp. 

If you’ve published a book, particularly one related to baseball, you may have received a letter from him highlighting your many spelling and grammatical errors.
